I would like to start out by saying that I'm scared to death! I have plenty of family that have had elective surgeries, but it doesn't ease my mind at all!

I have always had an issue with my thighs. They rub together all the time. I can deal with the holes in jeans and legging, because I'm real good at patching them up. The issue I have is when I wear a skirt, dress, or swim suit, my legs rub together and the skin breaks because of the friction. They start out good but after walking for maybe 30 minutes, they are on fire and the skin gets raised and starts to break open. Because this happens every summer several times, the area between my thighs are dark.

I went in for a consult for lipo of my thighs on 3/8/16 and was advised about the loose skin issue that would be presented after lipo of the area. I really don't want to get cut, but I say if I'm going to do it, I should do everything... Well not everything... My tummy also. I'm fine with it really but the women in my family have loose skin between the thighs and the lower abdomen hangs over the vajayjay and that only gets worse when they get older... Fixing it while I'm young would make more sense to me.

I put a down payment on my surgery scheduled for 4/22/16. If I don't do it now, I will punk out I'm sure!

Ever since the consult I've been feeling like I look fine just the way I am. I usually have pretty good confidence but I've been feeling really cute lately. Just my mind trying to convince me not to do it... Lol

I'm scared of the stitches and them coming apart!
I'm scared of having a the mindset I see in some women where they look fine to everyone else and still think they look terrible!
I'm scared of infection and scaring!
I'm scared of a bad job, despite research and other consultations!

Doctor's bedside manner
Answered my questions
After care follow-up
Time spent with me
Phone or email responsiveness
Staff professionalism & courtesy
Payment process
Wait times

He is very nice, as well as everyone that is staffed there. He can be a little rushed at times. Though when I pulled out my laundry list of questions out, he answered every single one! His work is great as well as his prices. I don't know how he will be if revisions are necessary, but he said they will be worked out and discussed after 3 months post op.

hi there, i have just read about your journey and the emotions you are going through.
Its understandable but like you say if you dont do it now it may never happen and i think you wlil regret it.
i am 66 years young and have lost over 7 stone, i know what you mean re legs rubbing together causing sores.
Last sept i had a 360 tt to get rid of 6 1/2 lbs of loose skin aod fat, and i felt great. this was the 1st part

hi again, part two, sorry about that finger slipped, as i was saying, tt was 1 st part, arm & thigh lift is part 2 and due n 12th April. it took a long time to decide to get my loose skin removed but i hated the way my body felt when it wobbled all the time i moved.
by the sound of it i think you are ready to get your life changed.
it is normal to be nervous about something that will change the way you see yourself
Good luck and god bless,
Jean

Thanx jmg1950! It's amazing how your mind starts playing tricks on you! I really started thinking I look fine just the way I am! And I do I'm sure, but when it gets hot and those sores come back I will be mad. One of my sisters had a TT and she will be coming up from Florida to take me to the surgery and stay with me for a week after! I'm blessed for sure!

I finally told my man and he was not happy with the idea... I didn't go into details, just told him I was having work done on my thighs and would be off of work for two weeks... Still going to consults, although I put down a deposit. I would have to cancel by the 8th in order to get my deposit back. Working out and lost a couple pounds but still don't like the fact that things are hanging.

Hh. there, hope things are better with your significant other. Maybe if he knew how you feel about your body he might come round to your way of thinking.
How are consults going? Do you feel less nervous about op?

Keep your chin up, good luck and god bless

I'm still nervous... I really don't want to be put to sleep... My next concern is that I'm worried about complications.... I've never had any problems with any operations, but I see it on here and it freaks me out... I have a flight of stairs to walk up in my house and I'm afraid of stitches busting.... 21 days away and I think about it every day... I would hate to leave this earth due to an elective surgery... I guess it's normal to think about stuff like this
