So I've finally plucked up the courage to make a Doctors appointment. As some of you will know I hate going to the Doctors more than anything. If I had anything wrong with me I always asked the Doctor or the Nurses opinion at work (fortunately not very often) and I can count the amount of times I've been to this Doctors on one hand (and I've lived here for 10 years). So what's all the fuss about??
I'm going to see about a referral to a plastic surgeon. Now I'm not being overly dramatic about this, and I'm not being extremely vain 
If you look at my before photos (a couple of posts earlier) you can see how massive my arms are. Now imagine what a 14stone weight loss did to those. Believe me when I say there's no way I can wear a sleeveless top. In fact there was more chance of me wearing a sleeveless top then, than there is now.
I'm not taking the easy way out, and I will try and do everything I can (exercise, weights etc.) before resorting to plastic surgery. BUT I do want to see a consultant and get on the waiting list to see their opinion. If there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, then I will have the surgery. The scars are terrible (from elbow to inside the armpit), but I honestly think I could live with that, and it's something I have thought seriously about. One of my friends has had it done, so I'm well aware of the pain, scarring etc.
My stomach is not so bad and I could definitely live with that. My boobs have shrunk to miniscule proportions, but nothing a wonderbra and some "chicken fillets" can't cure 
, so at the moment my arms are my main problem.
I just hope the Doctors nice to me Wednesday. They still scare me

Hello,
I've just started reading your posts and you have helped convince me to give the CD a go. Congratulations on your incredible weight loss and thank you for inspiring me.

And PS - good luck with the doctors appointment. I don't like them either, I find they're often patronising and unhelpful.

Good luck you are very brave to consider it, I have been thinking about it but think I will try harder with the exercises first!

Good Luck
Remember they are only human and don't know everything. I have learnt that over the last year.

Honestly? I think your GP will be happy that you did so much (all) of this yourself. And would be glad to assist you with the final bits you physically can't do yourself.
The people they don't want to see are the ones who want the GP to lose the weight for them!
Have courage - I think you'll be pleasantly suprised.

my arms are my problem too, i have just ordered a thing from avon that is meant to help, we shall see. i do have worries about my stomach too having had two c-sections and another huge abdo operation, but i know someone who had her stomach done and it wasn't so bad. reading on. i am all behind.
