After LBL Picture

Nude, Nude, Nude...NOT! Remember, I work for a public school...that ain't gonna happen. Not especially after our meeting this week about the new nat'l database for them to look up offenses we've committed. They also have a new district "offense tree" to see if they're gonna fire you are not (it's a flow chart). I would prefer for it not to be used for me because I put pictures on here. I will be brave and maybe do a swimsuit pic this summer. They're on my profile and here's a link. I put up a new avatar since the other was from last Christmas. I know so many post I'm in a small size and that's great. I started out at 337 lbs., and I'm relatively happy to post I'm in an average size, not a tiny one, so for all that will never see tiny sizes, it's okay to be in a regular average size. I'm in Mediums, Larges, and size 12 pants. May see a size 10 pant in some styles after all the swelling is gone. Don't think I'll see single digits, but that's okay w/ me. I'm sure way better off that I was before. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g132/garlic11/KLafterfullbody.jpg Karla

Karla you look amazing! I am another that will never be single digits and wouldn't want to. I'd look like a holocast suvivor. At the end of all this...and without plastics, I will probably get down just one more size. I'm now in an XL top and a L bottom (16/18 & 14/16). And starting from a 4X and 2X Im pretty darned happy about it.

Karla you look awesome and must feel fantastic! YOU have come a long way! Good for you! As far as never being in a small size, this journey is as individual as each of us are and where we each feel comfortable being is for each of us to decide! Again I think you look amazing and should be very proud! HUGS AND FRIENDSHIP! CHRIS

Hey Karla!!! You look spectacular girl!!! Congratulations!!!! You are having an exceptional journey!!! Best Regards Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

wow! what an amazing transformation Karla!!! you look wonderful!!! did they tell you how much they took off? As far as sizes, I've said this before, but I'd love to shop where some of these people shop. I've seen people shorter and weigh more than me in smaller sizes, way smaller. Kind of impossible ya know? lol Anyway, do you plan on doing anything else or are you done? Hugs n stuff! Renee

Renee, I am planning on an upper body lift w/ BL/BA and arms in the future, maybe this summer. Have to see when I can afford it. My surgeon took off 16 lbs. w/ my lower body lift. You can look at my profile pics and see my huge "double bubble" he cut off, and that was w/o an anchor cut. Don't know how he did it, but he did! Karla

Karla, WOW you look wonderful!!!! My husband says "wow, she looks great!" I hope to reach size 12 LOL, but hopefully soon............... after more surgeries. Congrats again! Melissa PS: I maybe in Livingston next weekend maybe we can do lunch or dinner

Karla, you look absolutely wonderful. I want to have plastics, but haven't checked into it yest. I was down to size two (in some jeans) but that was to small. I put some weight back on. I want to take some of it back off, but not all. I will say it again in another way, hubba hubba girl. Hazel

Karla, You look amazing ............ How do you feel ? Tori

I feel good. Not totally back to normal, but close. I still swell a good bit during the day, but am only wearing my compression garment at night. I wear my Lipo IN a Box during the day. Every once in a while I go w/o either, but it still feels weird to me. I get tired in the evenings, but I'm a morning person. Overall, doing really well, especially the last couple of weeks. I'll be 8 weeks out from surgery this next Tuesday. Time sure flies by. Karla
