So I'm planning on getting a breast lift/augmentation once I reach goal which will hopefully be by March 2010. I'm very open about this decision and I have told everyone! Lucky for me all my friends and family are really supportive. So I guess I was just wondering if anyone else is planning on having any work done once they reach goal?
I would love to, but we will have to see what I look like, and how much money I have once I meet goal. My mom once told me (while she was drunk) that she would pay for me to get my boobs done once I lose weight, but I dont know if that offer stands while sober. lol. Right now, Im trying to love my body and work on what I can by myself. Later I will see if I want to make any other changes.
I don't have any idea what I'm going to look like at my goal weight. I haven't been that size since probably 4th grade or so....and I was much shorter then. It's hard to visualize how much of my size i will actually be losing, so I don't know if I'll need surgery or not. If I manage to lose as much as I want too, then I might...I don't honestly know if I'll have lots of flabby skin or not, but I am pretty afraid of it...
It was one of those conversations I had with my bf....I showed him a picture of a woman who had lost 100 lbs...and it showed she had a lot of lose skin and an apron of skin at her waist and whatever....and i said "what if i end up looking like that?"....and he SAID that he would be okay with it and that he loves me and it'd be fine...but I was watching his face, and he definitely flinched.
And it's not just because of that...
lol
I WANT to feel confident. I don't think that I WOULD feel confident with all that lose skin. Something I've always wanted to be able to do is to wear sleeveless shirts out in public and not feel embarrassed....or even one of those spaghetti strap dresses everyone wears in the summer. I don't want my arms to hang down to my waist...
I want to be able to wear a swimsuit....I want to be able to walk around in a bikini and feel normal...
I guess I just figure if I'm taking the time to lose the weight...that at the end...all the surgeries would be worth it if I really felt that I needed them and they'd make me feel better about myself.
I will definitely have a breast reduction done. I don't have high hopes for losing enough of my chest to make me happy, so after I have kids and lose all the weight, a BR is in the works for me.
When I find out what I look like at my goal - I will decide then. It's def an option for me tho. I'm all for plastic surgery and actually have a few surgeries plan that doesn't require me to lose weight first (need to get my ear fixed, among other parts of my body)
I had a breast reduction and lift done at 16 (I went from a 36DDD down to a 34C) but because of the weight gain they've grown back almost all the way now. I'm hoping that with losing about fifty pounds they'll shrink again but if not I might be having a reduction again.
I had breast augmentation done in January, after being at my goal weight for almost six months - after my weight loss I had AAA's... I'm very pleased with the results. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the process! I didn't need a lift, but might need one down the road.
Like a lot of people said above... probably gonna have to wait and see how things turn out at "the end".... but most likely one day I'll have to have a tummy tuck of some sort. Even when I was (briefly) around 165 or so, I still had a (smaller version) of the tummy "apron" though it definitely wasn't as bad as it is now. I have a feeling I'll have to get that removed eventually... *sigh*
Not looking forward to it, seeing as I had several surgeries for health related problems in my late teens and early 20's that caused a lot of offshoot health problems (poor immune system, bowel problems, etc) I've been combating since then and am just now STARTING to get a grip on. I tribute my weight loss journey and internal self exploration to that though.... it's taught me alot about myself and what my body needs/needed!!!
If I do, when I do... get a surgery.... at least this time around I'll know what to do to prevent as many problems as I had before.

Yes, I need and want surgery. I have exercised for over a year now. I do strength and resistance training, run many miles every week, eat clean most of the time. I have *some* extra skin on my tummy. My breasts are non-existent mole hills. My husband even wants me to do something. I want to wait a few more months though. I have read that skin sometimes continues to contract once you are at goal.
I had a nose job a few years back. I love it. Never, ever regretted having it done.
My butt is droopier than I would like. Any suggestions on what surgery could be performed. In the meantime, any advice for pushing my butt back UP (execise wise or whatever) would be appreciated.

Hi! Re: butt plastics-- I have seen quite a bit on the brazillian butt lift, don't know much specifics about it.
BUT, when I was in my mid-late twenties I used the firm videos and did many many squats with my heels up on a 2 x 4. I had the cutest little bubble butt y'all ever did see
My cup size is only a 34 C. They'll probably look much larger when the weight is gone. I always thought having smaller breast and being so large was odd.

If only my cup size would have stayed the same but unfortunately that was one of the first places I lost weight and they are still shrinking even NOW...seriously I can feel it!!
Plastic surgery anyone?
I'm very pleased with the results. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the process! 
I didn't need a lift, but might need one down the road.
