$7,350
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!

Breaking the news to significant others
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?
I had my pre op assesrtment last tuesday and have go ahead for arm & thigh lift on 12th, only 11 days to go, not that i am counting at all.
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

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
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
