27 Y/o. 150lb Weight Loss Left Excess Skin. Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift/augmentation, Armlift and Lipo
4 years ago I reached the biggest I had ever been...
...Until my sister became pregnant and I got worried that I would die before he graduated. I booked myself in for a gastric band. I have since lost 11 stone 7 lb in the last 3 years but I have serious amounts of excess skin that I need to get rid of. I have taken to wearing a lovely piece of 'sucky in' underwear every day as the skin just jiggles and is highly annoying and unflattering. I also will never, ever, under any circumstances have my arms out as I am scared I may just take off.
I have booked a consultation with a group that was recommended to me by a friend and will find out my options on 29/03/16. I am going in with the view on arm lift, lower body lift and potentially a breast augmentation, as the 'fun bags' are more like empty bags now. I miss my boobs. I don't want to get a thigh lift though, they're also a little jiggly but with tights or leggings on they're sucked in enough and quite honestly I always had little, out of proportion, legs.
I have this strange feeling of excitement and fear about my consultation. It will hurt, I'm aware, this terrifies me. I will probably also look a little like Frankenstein's bride, though I can always tattoo over the scars if they bother me that greatly. I need to do this though, this is the last step I need to take to the goal I have been working on for 3/4 years.
I'm hoping that someone out there has been through a similar thing and can give advice!

Initial consultation
I have two options now, the surgeon local to me for consultations and check-ups who cannot/will not combine more that 2 procedures or the surgeon I have to travel 3+ hours for who is more open to combining procedures. The plan is now to send over some pictures to both surgeons to get their initial opinions, discuss who is best suited for the job and book my next consultation. I'm swaying towards the far away surgeon, partially as he is nicknamed 'the god of surgery' by his patients on the company's forums but that all could change.

27 Y/o. 150lb Weight Loss Left Excess Skin. Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift/augmentation, Armlift and Lipo.
I'm 27, 5'5 and have lost around 150lb. My weight loss has left me with serious excess skin which thanks to this website I will be getting removed in July. I have been lurking on this website for awhile now; looking at the before & after pictures, reading peoples stories and building the courage to finally get it done myself.
After several consultations with several surgeons I am happy with the surgeon I have chosen. After my meeting a few weeks ago we have decided upon a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation (I miss my old boobs), liposuction and arm lift.
My next appointment is on June 15th; surgery is on July 16th.
Sadly I have already started packing.
Hi, I'm so glad you posted here! We have a large of community of people that have had the same procedure you're planning to have and you can read their reviews right here. Everyone is super friendly and supportive, so feel free to reach out to anyone here and ask for their advice.
Let us know what the docs say about your options! When are you planning to have the procedure? Summer-ish?
I'm hoping to get it all booked for August as I've just qualified as a teacher so as of this summer I will have no spare time and no other opportunity!
