Hi
I had bariatric sugery three years ago Nov. 2003. And I've had a baby Sept. 14, 2006. And now my body is falling apart. I have lots of sagging skin, pain and some other problems I can't explain. I have done some research on some doctors in my area. MY problem is how can you tell whose going to make you look like a beauty queen or a lump of poo-poo! Help!!!!

I am 24 years old and I have my first child at 17 years old. I breastfed her.
At 18 I had twins. I breastfed them. On july 26th I gave birth to my 4th child and I breastfed her for 6 weeks because of a thyroid disease I have I can no longer nurse my daughter. I realized how bad my breasts look when my milk dried up. It is embarrassing in front of my man to be naked. He says he loves the way I look. I would get breast implants if I could afford it and I found a doctor with a great history. I know I would feel better if I could wear cute tops and dresses without having to figure out the best way to make my breasts look normal. That is all I would change about myself. surgery is major and scary and needs to be researched and with a great doctor.

I'm 50 years old and I had plastic surgery in May 2006. I had lipo on my back, inner thighs and stomach. I also have breast implants. My breast are nice but I asked for one thing and got another. My back I really can't see much change. I do like my inner thighs but not at all happy with my stomach. I was told one thing and I still look like I need lipo on my stomach. Now the same doctor says I need a tummy tuck. He should have told me that in the first place. I don't really have hanging skin so why the tummy tuck. I think he took to much fat from my back and thighs and could not go over the limit of how much fat he can take out when he got to my stomach. Anyway I guess I have to live with it cause I can't afford another surgery.

I think plastic surery is fine for those that want it, if it's going to help make you feel better about yourself. But I would think that there is a psychological reason behind this....lots of insecurity, and self esteem issues for most.

I plan on having breast implants at some point....maybe when I'm a little older. I would feel better about myself, and will be able to wear certain clothes that I wouldn't unless they were enhanced.

Some people are addicted to this, like lots of other things....and it can get quite scary. Surgery itself is a risk....and we shouldn't play around too much with what God gave us.
