SURGERY!!

So I've never really vented a lot on this blog about my distaste for my body. I am going to now. I hate my body!! I only hate certain things though. I hate my breasts. They are boobs fo an eighty year old woman, they are saggy as hell and just disgusting. I am so embarassed to not wear a bra ever, doesn't matter who I'm with I just find them disgusting. Next on my list is my belly. I hate it. It also is absolutely disgusting. After weight loss people don't realize you are left with the damage of excess skin and rolls of it. I have to wear a girdle if I ever want to wear anything tight fitting because of the rolls. Last is my arms. They have the wave going on. There is this mound of fat/skin that just hangs from my upper arms. So now what to do. Live with it and hate my body or do something about it. Well maybe I'm a leech on the medical system but I chose to do something. A few years ago I met with my GP and she agreed that I should have a breast reduction. That surgery is scheduled for December 21st, yes right before Christmas and I am looking so forward to it. I will have nice, perky size C breasts!! Now yesterday I met with my surgeon that did my gastric bypass. He has agreed that there is a need to get rid of the loose skin around my mid section!! I cannot explain how happy I am to be having this done. No more girdles!! No more always choosing shirts that are baggy so that they hide the rolls. No more having jeans look nice and then a roll hanging over!! I normally wouldn't show people my stomach but I thought this way people could see what I have been trying to hide for the past 4 years now. Now for the arms, I am going to get out the barbells and see if I can't firm them up a bit. The surgeon did say to try this first and then we'll see where to go from there. So look out tight shirts here I come, just kidding. I did hear though that Victoria Secret has bought out LaSenza and will now be coming to Canada so I will definately be shopping there!!
