Hey girlfriend,
We started at the same weight!!! I am glad my post helped you out. I know there are a lot of eager plastic surgeons out there waiting to prey on unsuspecting people and just get a paycheck. However, this surgeon was more concerned with his reputation and the overall results post surgically. Therefore I found confidence in him and agreed with his suggestions. I know it is way too early to start thinking about it, but like I said I just went to find out what I needed to do now to ensure the best possible results later. I figured he would say what he did but didn't realize he would stress it so much. I am glad he did though, it will get me back on the exercise wagon and off my butt.. lol
Also remember, there are those who will have lost much more than we will have to or have lost whose results may be less then desireable because they have so much excess skin and were not able to exercise as vigorously or religiously because of the extra skin they have. So everyone is different..
