About the cost of plastics

Rethy · 02-16-2007, 01:51 AM

Hi,

I am new to this site. I am preparing to have WLS soon. I new that my skin was going to sag but I guess I didn't realize how much until I read some of the messages about it. My question is, how much does plastics cost? I am really concerned about the thought of what my breasts and stomach are going to look like. Will you look funny if you only have those done?

I have had NONE done.
MY highest weight was 310 and i went down to 167...
I am happy with how i look in clothes so regardless of the
cost or the question will insurance cover it i wouldnt
let it stop your decision for the surgery. I did this surgery
for great health which i achived and feel i look good in clothes
so if i do or dont do the plastics its no great shakes.
I know some have consulted on plastics and know the prices
so they can help you hear. I just wanted to take a moment and
show you CAN still look fine without them!!!

WELCOME to the board and i look forward to getting to know you
more thru you posts!!!
HUGS!

WOW LISA ! you look sensational. I had also been concerned about the 'plastics' issue but you have made me feel 100% better. I have just over a month and a week to go.....I am getting soooo excited. One question???? Is help at home after surgery greatly needed? Will I actually need help?

IN clothes i look fine...not the same storey in the NAKED but im also 44 years old...so im okay with things. JUST cant take time off work unpaid
and be laid up for recovery so its really not a doable option for me.
I did start at 310 lbs so i was no light weight comeing into this.
I wouldnt let this issue stop you from ahving the surgery!
