WOW WOW WOW! What a difference 7 months can make eh. You are looking wonderful. I'm sure you are going to be tickled with your tummy tuck too. I wish I had been brave enough to take all the views of before like you did. It would be wonderful to compare now. I'm beginning my investigation into a thigh lift now. I can't wait to rid myself of this nasty skin. Good luck with the upcoming tt. Keep us informed of your progress. Christie

I want the thighplasty done really badly, but my insurance doesn't cover it. One day I'll get it all taken care of. As far as the before pics go, it was a little nerve wracking taking them, but I'm really glad I did. Andrea

Andrea, From looking at your pics you certainly don't need thighplasty. I have always had huge legs and with all the weight gain and loss the skin just gets worse and worse. Your legs look tiny to me. Christie

LOL...my thighs are pushed together in those pics. My inner thighs are horrible...one day I'll have to take pics and show everyone.

Wow, Great shots that show your wonderful progress. Thanks for sharing! -Gerriann Lap RNY 5/14/04 153+ pounds gone forever!

Andrea, You look great! I have to tell you your butt looks terrific!!! I can only hope mine holds up as well as yours has! Did you watch TLC this weekend? Saturday they had Plastic Surgery marathon...those women looked terrific after their surgeries. I can't wait to have my breast and tummy done! I'm starting to see the results, but still have a long way to go...I'm not looking at PS until October... Congratulations, and you'll have to post surgery pictures Michelle

Andrea, You look like a totally different person! Congrats on your journey! What difference a few months can make. Hettie

Hi Andrea, I am not a May surgery girl, but I was supposed to be. Was scheduled for May 26 but fell down my stairs and broke three bones in my leg. Needed emergency surgery, etc. Long story short, my surgery was rescheduled and I had it in August. However, I still like to come and see how all the May girls and guys have done. With all that said, YOU LOOK FABULOUS! WOW! May I ask you a question or two? How tall are you? Did you have any children? What kinds of exercise do you do and how often? I ask these questions because it looks like you have no excess skin at all. Your legs look awesome! You must work hard at it, girl, because the legs are the hardest area to lose. Yours look amazingly toned. I would guess you have not given birth, because your hips are very small. We have similiar stats. The day of surgery, I was 232 lbs. Now, I am 160 lbs. I am 5'2 and 1/4. Looking at your weights at the bottom of your post, am I reading it right that you currently weigh 162? I would have thought you weighed less. YOur body is in great shape! I am anxious to know your height. I am assuming you are taller than me because you look so much better at 162 than I do at 160 (my pics are on my profile) and we all know height inches can really make a big difference in ones appearance. Anyway, you look FABULOUS! Hugs, Denise P.S. I am not trying to compare myself to you, just trying to get some perspective on maybe how I will look, based on us having similiar stats.
