Re: OT...psurgery...please be nice...hehe

Yes, I'm at my ideal weight and I've maintained it keeping a healthy lifestyle. I don't think I would be considering surgery if it were for others or merely for my own happiness. I've watched enough Dr. Phil to know that is not a good reason. Ha! I have looked into natural alternatives. I've actually taken herbs for breast enhancement, it didn't work for me. I've also looked into using the BRAVA system, but don't think that would be the best choice for me. I think a lift would be a great option, but I'm concerned that by the time they remove enough skin to give me a lift, there won't be anything left! As far as the tummy, I just don't see anything "natural" working... you would have to see it to believe it. I've tried the creams, etc. and the stretch marks are not leaving (although they are light in color). The scars and extra skin go about 4 inches above my belly button. My youngest child often tries to figure it out and plays peek a boo with my loose skin trying to find my belly button. Ha! I work out and there are no amount of sit-ups that will take care of my loose wrinkled skin. As soon as I can get my $$ together, I will at least get that taken care of, but I still just have concerns about putting something foreign in my body and trying to weigh out if it would be worth any benefits in the long run. I appreciate all the posts. Thank You.
