A Little Nervous?!

I'm going today to meet with a plastic surgeon.  I have terrible arms,  I've lost a little over 120 lbs and they sag like crazy.  I want to have surgery on them before our wedding.  Today is just my initial consult where I'll learn the bad stuff (how much it is going to cost etc..) I probably won't have the actual surgery until the beginning of August.

I'm a little nervous.  Obviously surgery is the only option, I work out (both cardio/strength training) several times a week but there is so much excess flop on my arms till I have to buy shirts one size bigger just to fit my arms and I can't even wear sleveless anything because between the sag and the stretch marks it would look horrible. 

Just thought I'd vent here on TK for a second.

Thanks

    I'd be nervous, too, but I'm sure it will be okay!

    That's amazing that you lost 120 pounds, congratulations! Good luck at your appointment.

    Also, your e-ring is gorgeous.

    Thanks guys, I guess I'm just hoping things go smoothly and that the surgery will be in my budget.  Before I made the appointment I asked what was their estimate for the arm surgery and the number they gave me then was reasonable so I'm hoping nothing has changed!

    And thanks Ali, I love my e-ring.

    Just a little forewarning, when my sister went in for a cosmetic surgery consultation they wanted to do the surgery ASAP. Not really sure why, I think they just like to keep things moving. She got scheduled for the surgery 1 week later!
    She was ultimately happy to get it behind her but I think everything just moved a lot quicker than she expected.

    oh, no worries there.  I won't have the money saved up until the end of July (I have our "wedding" budget worked out month by month) so they won't do it until I have it paid for.  The quote they will give me today will be good for 6 months too.

    Thanks guys!  My appointment went ok.  Except for the end part where they give you the totals.  The total was about $1300 more than what they told me over the phone then they couldn't figure out why I was told that over the phone.  Geez.  So now I have to figure out where to fit another $1300 in our budget because my arms are unacceptable to wear with a strapless or sleevelss dress for our wedding and if I were to get something long sleeved it would look ridiculous because I have to buy shirts in a bigger size because of the sag.  White on all that wouldn't work. lol 

    So wish me luck.  I'm going budget finagling again

    LOL
