6 Month Post-Op Pics

Now posted for your viewing pleasure. New picture of scar too.

Katie, I have been watching your progress and you are doing such a good job. You look great and are just looking more beautiful all the time. Congratulations on the marriage. Your wedding pics are beautiful. Hugs, Vicki -143 incl pre op loss

Your pictures look great - I haven't gotten up enough nerve yet to take any post op pictures. I am 7 months out today and down 106 pounds. I noticed my feet have shrunk also. I always had narrow feet and wore a 10 or 11, now I am wearing 9 1/2 to 10. Haven't figured that one out. Heather 4-11-05 291-185-?

Hi Katie, I browse through different surgery month forums every now & then and came acrss this one. I just wanted to say that you are doing an amazing job. You are great inspiration.....I notice your tummy isn't all saggy. You must be one of the lucky ones that doesn't need a TT. Do you mind if I ask how old you are....I think that plays a big role. Thats my only concern is how much PS is gonna be needed after. Congrats on your wedding too!!! ~nancy

First off, thanks for your kind words. It means a lot. I don't have a "saggy" tummy, but I do have some flub (remnance of a belly apron) around my pelvic area. It's easy to hide and push around (it's mostly skin), and so I'm not in a big frenzie to chop it off.... yet. I'm going to wait until I pop out a couple of ankle biters, before I even consider wanting to have plastics done in that area. That way I'll have a chance to get some use out of the stretched skin again before I do away with it. Even so, I'm not completely convinced I really want to have a tummy tuck done. I may sing a different tune after I'm done in the baby department. I'll be 21 in December, so my age may be giving me an advantage as far as the skin stretching goes. I still don't like to look at myself naked, I do have some drooping skin in places... but none of it is anything that I'm bothered by so much that I want to have plastics done. The only surgery I'm considering getting in the near future is a boob job, and once again, I don't think I want to do it until after I have some babies. But, we'll see.

By the way... you're gorgeous! Love the eyes.

Thanks!! Your're so sweet!! You're not too hard on the eyes yourself cutie!! ~nancy
