That's just sheer willpower man.

I was 360 at my heaviest known weight (did'nt weigh my self for a long time).

I hope I can wait that long before giving in to the blade.

Well I wanted it the second I hit goal but after going on sights like MSN groups or tuckthattummy.com it was not to pleasant. The photos they show you in the surgeon's office are the cream. The rest well..less than that. Sight flucuations in your weight cand make a big difference in the final outcome. There were some crazy stories out there. People gaining 10 pounds in the month after their TT and so on. The photos are not pretty. They ended up with stomachs that look like notches in come cases. If you gain weight again it doesn't come back evenly because the fat was removed in some areas. You can end up with some funky lumpy looking areas. ya know .. the stuffed sausage look. After seeing all that I was going to wait a while and make sure.

Ed:

I'm so glad you posted this information. I guess I knew weird stuff could happen after plastics, but you really brought it to mind. I've been at goal for about a month now. I don't think insurance will pay for any plastics for me, but I'm gonna at least try. I've been getting some rashes in the coccyx area because I like my jeans TIGHT. So, who knows, maybe I'll get a butt lift paid for! Anyway, after reading your post, I think I'll wait until my weight has completely stabilized to look into plastics!

Thanks for the info!

Looking like a road map can be a turn off. It doesn't take much to ruin the results of PS, especiallly if there's liposuction involved. To get good results, you also need to research the surgeon. Many surgeons are just barely qualified to do PS and can leave some nasty scars. When I get PS, I want a surgeon who specializes in that particular body part. I just can't imagine one person can do a great job on 20 different procedures that are listed.
