Default Ps

I just had abdominoplasty and mastopexy. Both were acutely necessary and I was blessed to have insurance pay for both, but from what I hear from both friends and docs that it is hard to get ins to pay for anything other than panniculectomy. PS runs big bucks!

OT - Doug, I love your avatar! I'm assuming that's you playing. I play clarinet, too. It's such a beautiful instrument, I love it! Okay, back to your exercise discussion! I've been a bad girl during the holidays and haven't been exercising. I need to get back to it.

Mike - Thanks for the invitation to the brotherhood. I'm honored.

Jim - I may give some consideration to the yoga in a few weeks as my wife has a good friend with her own studio nearby. Also, I'm with you on the libido thing and not hurting myself. I'm very lucky, my Dr. also does a libido implant after he finishes the rny, so I'm having one implanted. He asked me if I wanted the teenage model, but I told him that one got me in trouble, just go with the model in between teenage and New Year/Birthday only model. I'm hoping that one will be about right.......

Tonya - The avatar is actually Pete Fountain, but since I look just like him and also play the clarinet/saxes, I use that pic. I've been very lucky in all the musical experiences I've had...

I also realise that the first part which went banana, or like empty bags are the arms. It is still not too bad, but really not nice. I always dreamt to wear T-shirts, but with these arms, no way. THe only issue with the plastic S. is that it leaves terrible scarres, and it is definitely visible. I am not yet decided.

Like the comparison of empty lemons bags.... painful truth. But I still have a long way to go before I reach the "normality". Not yet decided about it, only if the ...lemons are gone

Stomac will have to get out: skin is fine, but this banana (of skin and still fat below the lombril, the low part of the bailey) that I carrry since years I want to get rid of ....asap.

However what is already looking terrible are the legs: the excess skin of the upper part.
Although I have I believe a equilibrated body and proportions, which could have been really nice if I did have continued with sports and stop overeating. Unfortunately all these years I decided to take the wrong way. Anyway: the lifting of the legs gives nice results, and the scarres can be invisible with the right underwear of swimming suit.

I guess all these above mean 2 different plastic OPs, I will have to economize......
