Default We need a PS category!

We've had a lot of plastic surgery discussion recently in all of the different categories. Very good exchanges of information.

We totally need a PS category!

OMG! Those photos scare the SNOT out of me! She looks like she got pieced together from a bunch of different skin pelts. I'm still thinking I'd rather be flabby.........

Ooops...sorry! I just thought it'd be helpful to someone out there to see & read her blogs. I think she just had a lot of loose skin to get rid of that's why she looks that way.

I think a PS category would be really helpful. I am far away from having it or seriously thinking about it but the more I lose the more I am considering what I want to do at that point.

Elisa thanks for the link. The more information the better, good or bad. I like hearing stories so I know what is out there whether it looks awful or not.

I am getting very scared. Those scars are not nice. I think my problem is that I don't want to just look good compared to where I started. It looks like she healed poorly. The scars are wide and not fine at all. I want to look good ....period....by todays standards and compared to society, not my former fat self. Is that unrealistic?? I expect to see a scar, but not like that. The ones under her breast are so prominent and the belt lift is not easily disguised to me. Of course she is so much better than her 370 pound former self and is a beautiful woman, but I can't believe those results would be optimal for her.

LMAO.. I have to say Van... I thought the same thing.. ICK! I really dont want to see anyone spread their butt... let alone with a maxipad on! (I really had no idea what it was at first.. thought it was bandage or something.. then I was like.. OMFG.. thats just wrong!)
