I do like the idea of plastic surgery. If you'd have asked me this question 10 years ago I might have had a different answer.
I used to be very heavy... 182 and it all seemed to come off gradually. Then I was at 135 for about 10 years and and could not budge below. Since then I have had two kids (ages 2 and 4) and went down to 120 after my first pg. and went right back to that weight after the second. I was happy except for the tire around my belly.
(I was a thin kid and not heavy until I went away to school overseas when I was 16. It was tough going from fit to fat in such a short time frame. I think this is why my initial weight loss came off so rapidly.)
From my late teens until recently I hated my boobs, they were too big. I wanted a breast reduction in the worst way, but after nursing and losing my pg. weight they went down a size. A bit droopy they are, though I doubt any different from someone else who is a full C and has had kids. I definitely have excess skin around my belly. If I could get rid of it without the pain and complications of surgery I would. But no one sees it except myself in the shower. It's hidden when I wear clothes. I am also much more at peace with my body at my old age of 36. I llok good in most clothes (now) and I just love what SBD has done to my middle and self esteem and energy level.
In a not so nutshell, there is my answer!

This was just my own experiance and I just thought I would share it with everyone.
Thanks,

I think a lot about getting a breast reduction. DDs on a small 5ft4 frame are just rough on the back.

On the subject of plastic surgery, I'd consider very limited lipo for under my chin and at the saddlebags on my hips, and leave the rest the way it is. I'm finally able to deal with it and feel good about working out and the results I'm seeing.
I've already decided that I will have a tummy tuck when I get to my goal weight. At my heaviest I was 242 pounds (5'9"), and I've always carried the majority of my weight around my middle, as opposed to my arms and legs. Now that I'm 202 pounds, I've already got quite a bit of sagging in my tummy. I can't stand it!! And since this is extra "blown-out" skin that no amount of exercise will fix, it's definitely coming off.
I'm not sure if I would do anything else. Even just a year ago, I would have said a definite no to anything else (other than the tummy tuck), but I'm getting lots of droop in my face and in my boobs, and I'm only 38. Maybe it's vain, but I would consider doing some other work, too.
