Question How many of you have had Plastic Surgery Post op

I am wondering how many of you have had PS, since your surgery? And are you planning to have it later out? How bad is your loose skin? I am having my surgery in 4 days (yay me!) and I'm just wondering, any advice would be greatly appreciated! And if your skin isn't that bad, please emphasize that!
Until later!

I had plastic surgery when I was 20 months postop. I had a full tummy tuck and breast lift. I had significant excess skin that was causing me back pain, occasional rashes and actually was keeping my blood pressure slightly elevated due to the pressure from the skin resting on major groin vessels.

I was MO most of my life, went through 3 pregnancies when I was MO and I was 50 years old. I knew that no matter how much exercise I did there was no way around the need for plastic surgery.
