When you are getting recurrent skin infections under the pannus and/or breasts, and they are getting increasingly harder and more complicated to clear up, you NEED PS

I get rashes NOW nevermind after weight loss.I am pretty darn sure I will NEED ps.After being obese all my life I cant even imagine how good it would feel to have a flat tummy.I think its a very personal choice but you wont know until your weight is leveled out.

I totally agree.. Those who say its a vanity thing must not have issues with the chaffing and rashes not to mention infections... We NEED plastics... My breasts ar an issue of both.. I still have penty of brest tissue but they need lifted and I DO get rashes... so those of you who are considering plastics Im here to support you for what ever reason...

I don't have large flaps of skin anywhere, I have a flat stomach (It's really soft) but I have handfuls I can grab (most people would be surprised because I SEEM firm) on my butt, thighs, and lower back. I would have a tummy tuck, boob job (they're little flaps of skin now) and possibly a butt and thigh lift if I had the money. I feel VERY UGLY naked, and was more comfortable in my fat smooth body. Weird. But that's my story.

Its a common one. Don't feel werid at all. Completely normal and natural.

We've all been there. Its why I had plastics myself

Oh my God...that's what I tell my friends! My co-worker lost 112 lbs two yrs ago with WLS, but to look at her you wouldn't know there's any loose skin. Well, my S.O. may like it if I have a little loose skin because he'll know I wouldn't show my skin to anyone else LOL
