Congratulations!
That's great news. You should be very proud so few of us actually make goal. I still have 20lbs. to go but, am stepping up my workouts so I hope to make it by Christmas.
Congrats again! I am SOOO happy for you!!

Congratulations! Good job! You look beautiful.
I'm now encouraged to keep trying ... I'm 13 months out, 3lbs from where my surgeon said I'd 'end up' but I really would like to have a BMI in the 'Normal' range which means 33 more lbs!

Tina,
The first week is the worst. I was bent over and was only abt half way upright. Each week gets better, and by the third wk I was almost standing upright. At 4 weeks I would start the day upright and then by afternoon, I would be leaning forward a few inches; a short rest in bed brought me upright again. I would expct that you may actually stand up earlier than I since you had a TT rather than the LBL, however, since the work on the abs is the same, it may take you awhile.

can you tell me how long it was before you could stand up straight. I had a tummy tuck with lipo Thursday and it is nearly impossible to stand up straight.

Topic: Met my goal!
Exactly 2 years and 1 day out from surgery I met my goal! I lost 144 pounds and weight 165, the perfect weight for my height! I didn't really expect to get that far when I started this journey, so I'm absolutely thrilled with it.
I attribute my determination to get there to my support group and all the friends I've made throughout my journey. Without them I could not have kept sight of my goal and continued to work toward it.
I had my 2 year check up blood work on my anniversary date. All my bloodwork except Iron came back just fine. I have to take extra Iron supplements. Still, my quality of life is so much better than it was before.

I went to an Obesityhelp.com conference this weekend. One of the speakers topics was how to jump start your weight loss after being on a long plateau. He mentioned taking either the herbal supplement DHEA 50mg a day or L-Carnitine, 500mg per day as a metabolism booster. Make sure neither one of them react with any other meds you're on before trying them. They are fine with my ADHD meds, Depression meds and other vitamins.

i am still very frustrated this is the hardest part of the entire surgery, im hungry all the time and have regained 9 pounds and im scared to death. i think alot of that is stress we have had a severe illness in my family and i spent a month at the hospital with my husband. i cant work out at the health club as much as i used to and that hurts me also i just cant get motivated, sometimes i just feel so depressed i feel like ok im just meant to be fat and i might as well give up then i think nooooooooooooo i have come way to far for that .

from what i understand from most the tummy tuck is the only one insurance will even consider, i had mine done on 1/2005 have you dr. document rashes , infections , and pain from hanging skin, a hernia couldnt hurt either lol lol good luck with your insurance battle dont give up keep appealing their decision they will give in eventually
