Did you ever hear this podcast that was shared on another thread...
“Tell me I’m Fat” Lindy West accepting her weight & Elna Baker 110 lbs weight loss:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/rad.../tell-me-im-fat
The part about Elna and her surgery to remove loose skin after her weight loss was truly eye-opening and that really convinced me that if I had the $$$ (win the lotto???) I still wouldn't do it! |
I did listen to that, Jo, and if I had ever considered surgery that would convince me not to do it. I just mentioned casually to me doctor at my annual check-up that I wished I didn't have all this loose skin. Her response was that surgery was dangerous. I told her that I had no intention of going that route. I would be happier without it but so be it. It's really not a problem for me accept in my own mind so better to just accept it and get on with life.
