I finally found something I'm not fond of about this surgery (only took me a year and a half).
SKIN!!! Excess skin...Not that it is a surprise, it is something we talk about. However, no one ever mentioned gravity. Once you lose weight you obviously have excess skin. I think the surgery to remove it is extremely dangerous and to be honest, I'm just not that vain. Everyone likes a nice looking body...I had one when it counted...now I'm old so who cares?
The excess skin didn't really bother me when I first lost the weight, I look just awful naked...but since I usually wear clothes, who cares what I look like naked?
Today I went in the hot tub. Since I've been feeling the cold terribly, I haven't used it in a while.
AS I'm sitting there relaxing, enjoying the soothing bubbles after a morning of animal baths (yes I showered first) I was a bit startled when my hand hit something..Yuk..what the hell was that?
Turns out it was my peniculus...floating like a loose shirt in the water. How disgusting is that? When taking a closer look at arms and legs I realized that gravity has taken it's toll, the skin seems to be stretching and not looking at all like it should..I feel like I'm trapped in a rubber suit that is much too big. We won't even talk about the boobs...deflated balloons comes to mind.
When did all this happen? I still view the surgery as dangerous, but I really do have to give some thought to something because if I don't, I fear I will one day trip over the stuff that has stretched beyond my feet. That duct-tape-ectomy is looking better and better LOL
