I have been MIA, and I have missed you all. Life has been nuts! Between work, personal, and woohoo a vacation, I have been so busy. 11 months out, and I am now a size 4-6, a S-M shirt, and down still around 123. I actually allowed my hubby to take a pic of me in a swimsuit, and I wasn't evn embarrassed. We had a pic taken when we were at a restaurant, and it took him 15 min to convince me it had NOT been touched up. I couldn't even believe that I really look like I did in the pic. I still see myself as that "fat" girl, and not the "hot" girl that my husband sees. I have to have my thyroid checked again because I have been having symptoms that I hope are from that, but otherwise, I am FINALLY feeling the amazing amount of energy that this surgery brings. I am just now getting close to totally recovering from the trauma of the second surgery/leak. I am going to celebrate my complications by getting a 6th tattoo that my brother is desigining for me of what I saw when I went to heaven. I have looked through a lot of the posts that I missed. Congrats to everyone's accomplishments, and best of luck to the upcoming surgeries. You will NEVER regret this decision. Love ya all!!

It was beautiful in Florida last weekend. I tried to bring some heat back with me, but when we got off the plane in MN, it was quite the temp shock. I wanted to run back to FL. I am such a freeze baby now!

Connie, the reason you don't see the saggin skin is I am laying down in the first pic, and the dress is flowy in the second! LOL Believe me, I have more than enough saggy skin, and my poor boobs have decided to stay south year round. I have a butt where my big scar is. The skin is gettig slightly better, but only a wonderful surgeon will make my tummy look like a nonmelted snowman!
