Ok so i'm not scared about getting the WLS because i know its only 5 incisions and nothing too bad or too painful. Plus I'll be on that sweet sweet morphine after. lol. although i'm saying this now. i personally know myself. i know i will have a major panic attack the day before and especially right before while they're prepping me. and i will cry until the drugs kick in and put me to sleep. thats not really my main concern.
what really scares the b'jesus out of me is the thought of plastic surgery. i'm watching this show on breast implants. i'm cringing so bad. there's no plastic surgery that isn't brutal. if it were up to me i would never ever ever get any. i'm such a wuss when it comes to pain. i'm scared to death of painful medical procedures. but unfortunately i have 100+ lbs to lose and its inevitable that there will be a lot of loose skin. i will do everything i can to keep that to a minimum but when you've been this overweight for this long...there's just no way my body will bounce back.
oh god i'm gonna pass out. i'm so squeamish! omg warn someone before you show that on tv! geeeeez!
anyway i don't want to have plastic surgery. i don't. but i don't know how i'll feel when i lose the weight. i don't want to carry around 10-20lbs of sagging skin. thats horrible. it might be a necessary evil. the dreaded tummy tuck. i've seen pictures of real people who've gotten it. wicked scars. looong recovery. wearing multiple drains. fucking brutal. i'm sure once you get it done and heal you feel so much better. but i dunno. anyway its not something i'll have to think of for a looong time. so i won't stress. but its def a fear in the back of my mind.

ReplyDeleteBG: really you don't need a tummy tuck? thats great! and i see you lost a lot of weight! so that gives me hope!!
ReplyDeleteThe lap-band was my first surgery and I didn't really know what to expect. It seemed like it would be more painful than it was, really. I guess you just never know. Sometimes things that seem like they'd be horrible aren't so bad and sometimes I imagine they are much worse :) Anyways, sometimes it is best not to worry so much about stuff in advance. Like BG said, you may not need plastic surgery or you may decide it doesn't matter that much to you when you get to goal.
ReplyDeleteYuck! Plastic Surgery... is a necessary evil for people who lose alot of weight... I only have lost 60 pounds so far and I have alot of flabbiness and loose skin... I will keep my fingers crossed for us both. *Maria*
