Two Years on March 1st!

I'm a little late in posting, but March 1st was my two year anniversary! I am to go to the University of Virginia to see my bariatric surgeon for my yearly checkup next week. It has certainly been a wild ride! I am recovering from my second plastic surgery that I had done a week ago. I had a lower body lift in September and had outer thigh liposculpture and tweeking of my abdomen/midriff w/lipo last week. I am still somewhat sore and a little bruised but back at work full-time as of yesterday. I won't see the results of the lipo for a couple more weeks after the swelling goes down and the fluid they inject you with during lipo absorbs back into my body. So far, I have been thrilled with my results! I posted my before and after pictures from the first plastics several months ago (Shutterfly) and will take more pictures of this second procedure after the swelling goes away. I wish all of you who are considering plastics and those who have already had some the best of wishes! This is the real icing on this journey! I still can't look in the mirror and believe it is really me! Thanks for being you! Hugs, Karen P. S. Maureen-I hope you are recovering well, too!!!

HI Karen, Thanks for the update & hope you feel better soon on the Surgery. Don't be such a stranger & post when you can. Marilyn, the Bearlady

Happy Anniversary Karen and I wish you a speedy recovery from your recent P.S.. Good luck and continued success in year 3!! Mike

Karen, You look terrific! Sounds like you're thrilled with your PS results. Can't wait to be where you are. Keep us posted on your progress. Connie

You look great! Your a model of success. I'm thinking that I might concider cosmetic surgery even though I've always said no that my extra skin isn't that bad. Maybe it would be nice to have a flat tummy for once in my life! good luck and god bless on your continued successful surgery adventure. Pammy
