Quote From: dpmmlgI am a unique individual. That has been my motto for years. My story is not much different than a majority of youthful people who suffer from obesity, but I feel it necessary to share my story and the reasons behind my wanting plastic surgery. I am a normal person, I had a wonderful life, raised by two wonderful parents, a minister's kid, and some would say I had it all, but I was obese, addicted to food, and everything in my life was focused on the next meal. Almost two years ago I had bariatric surgery, and it has been very successful. I have 70 more pounds to lose, but have already went down from almost 500 pounds to almost half of that, unfortunately this leaves a lot of excess skin on my body. I feel like my accomplishment is shrouded by the skin that hangs down from my arms, legs, and stomach, probabally an extra 40 pounds worth, and the doctors have said that it isn't just going to go away on it's own. Unfortunately I was laid off from my job and have lost my insurance, which originally paid for my surgery, and therefore my hopes of having the reconstructive surgery have been all but demolished. I have a wonderful fiancee' David who means the world to me, and has told me all along that it doesn't matter to him what I look like, but it is so hard to feel sexy or beautiful with the extra skin. There are also health related issues involved, like frequent infections in the skin, and severe back pain from carrying the extra weight. If I had one dream in life, it would be to eliminate this skin from my body, and be able to live a normal life with the individuals I love most. This is my reason for wanting plastic surgery. Does anyone know of a place or doctor that will perform such procedures at a reasonable cost? I am a struggling college student.

I go to a place in the Illinois area they have been great good surgeons, I have tattoos on each of my arms and slowly getting them removed with lasor they told me it would take 4-8 treatments every 3 months it's a slow process. I want my tattoos removed because I want to remove that part of the past out of my life. My friend recommand them to me and I know a lot of people go to this place. I'm also even getting my spider veins removed had them since I was 16 I had one treatment done and going on the second one. They look great my legs! It's in Vernon Hills Illinois, this is the only place I know at this time I trust these people. I'm 40 years old and want to get breast implant and going to have them done too, as you get older they seem to sag. If I got a breast implant they would do it and I have GREAT experience with these people. I want microdermabrasion to remove some fine lines on my face and remove the blotches from my face. My boyfriend tells me I don't need plastic surgery, if this makes me feel good about myself thatd what I'm going to do for me. Thats all the needs to be done for now the breast implants might cost $5000 I'm saving up for that for next year.
