would you consider plastic surgery?

absolutely - going for a consult in a couple weeks.

In a heartbeat . 4 kids later and the last delivery was a c-section. I think all the time that all the hard work I put into getting
my body back and I will never ever have the flat tummy I miss so much so why bother. It really holds me back and keeps me
at a stand still sometimes.

If I could afford it, I would definitely do it.

absolutely!

heck yeah. if i could afford it, I would love to have some of the skin removed..

I MIGHT have to resort to this.

See, I have very little fat around my collar bone/ shoulders/ chest area... My ribs are starting to show through. But I'm still super squishy around my belly.

First I'm going to lose more fat, then I'm going to build some chest muscle... Hopefully that will cover up the ribs... If it doesn't, and I STILL have the belly, then I might have to get the belly fat surgically taken care of. I DO NOT want my ribs to poke out, and I don't want a bulging belly either.

If you have reached your goal weight, you're fit, you eat better and know you gone as far as you can go but you still have a problem zone you just can not get rid of, would you let a doctor take it off? For example inner thigh fat or belly fat or skin that stays behind can be stubborn for some of us.
If I could afford it I'd do it, what about you?

No. The only way I will ever get plastic surgery is if I was some how injured to where I was deformed and needed reconstructive surgery. Other than that, no way.

YES! While I actually am on here to stay in shape and not lose weight...my stomach looks horrible due to pregnancy. The stretchmarks have faded and the skin is as tight as it's going to get. It's been nearly 8 years and it looks about the same as it was a month after I had my daughter. I miss the 6 pack I used to have. I can feel it underneath but due to the fat, skin, and generally sagginess due to the stretchmarks...a tummy tuck is a must! I haven't worn a bikini since I was 17. And being single again with these 'flaws' sure takes a hit at my selfesteem while trying to date. I never know what the man is thinking once he sees this stomach but if it's as much a turn off to him as it is to me...not good, lol.

Never. Why lie to yourself and the world about Who you really are?
Finding and loving someone for who they are beings out the beauty within in them and you.

So glad I'm not alone!!

No, you are not alone.

I wouldn't have fat liposuctioned out after reading this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/weekinreview/01kolata.html and learning about the long-term results of liposuction. Here's an important quote from it: The result, published in the latest issue of Obesity, was that fat came back after it was suctioned out. It took a year, but it all returned. But it did not reappear in the women’s thighs. Instead, Dr. Eckel said, “it was redistributed upstairs,” mostly in the upper abdomen, but also around the shoulders and triceps of the arms.

So it sounds like fat that's removed comes back in most cases, and in worse places.

I am not so worried about problem areas of my body as I know it will never be exactly what I want it to be, but I will one day get a breast reduction to help with my overall health and confidence.

I would. My belly looks like the end of a hot dog from carrying two babies. I would love to finally feel sassy. I wouldn't consider it hiding or running away from who I am, I would see it as a reminder of how hard I worked.

And my boobs seems to be getting smaller. I hated my boobs ALL MY LIFE, I'm finally embracing them and seeing them as beautiful and they are disappearing. Oh life, how you drive me crazy, lol. I would also get normal implants, not some Chesty McJugs nonsense!

And that is all. My nose is horrible to me but I would never change it.

if I could afford it, probably. but If i was that rich, I probably would get myself a Persoanl trainer and nutrisionist first, and if I really still could not do better within a year, I probably would...


I would do a boob job anyday tho.

If I had a problem area at 7% body fat, yep I'd consider it.

Never! Every surgery has risks and I have too many people who love me and depend on me to take a risk for something purely cosmetic. The only reason I would ever get surgery is if I had to for some medical reason.

Four ~9 pound babies....I deserve a tummy tuck.:ohwell: I breast fed too. Guess what else needs help.:sad:
there will never be enough money unless we win the lottery and I haven't bought at ticket in 6 months. EVen then I'd have tough time spending the money when there is so much need around us.:ohwell:
