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 :oops:
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 8| , so at the moment my arms are my main problem.
I just hope the Doctors nice to me Wednesday. They still scare me :**:
