Lower Body Lift?
Ok, so the time has come for me (and hubby) to move on to the next step in this whole wls journey. I always thought I was going to be "ok" with the loose skin and I opposed to the idea of getting plastics.
But now...I want to get rid of this excess loose skin in my tummy area BAD!  Some of you may have seen my recent pictures that I posted. Well, I look at 'em and think..."wow, my tummy doesn't bulge out much and it actually looks kinda, sorta flat?" LOL...but man, underneath is a whole 'nother story!!!  We've been researching and have had a couple of consultations. One surgeon suggested a full lower body lift. I did additional research on that and I think that is what I want. Has anyone had one? On a scale of 1 to 10 what is the pain level afterwards? And on a scale of 1 to 10, how do you like your results? Thanks for any feedback.

I had a full body lift and the pain was less than GBS for me. on a 1-10 scale on how happy I am with it.......the answer 10+++++++. I'm glad I did it. I've never had a flat stomach in my life so it's nice to have one.
 Of course now that I'm almost 4 months pregnant I'm getting a little pouch.

Thanks Jeanie for the reply. This makes me want it even more. I've always wanted to know what it feels like to have a flat tummy or be able to wear an outfit that shows some midriff.
 CONGRATS on the pregnancy!! You must be so excited. Quote:
