1 week post LBL photos posted!

I am amazed at the changes.  My body was very unique with all the long rolls on my lateral sides if you remember. I had a body my surgeon had never dealth with before.  The top "roll" adjacent to my boobs he said he couldn't do until he did my boob/arm job and the second roll he did diminish but it isn't flat.  He didn't want to put the incisinos on my sides if at all possible and he didn't.  Maybe he should have? I donno, more than anything I wanted my stomach taken care of and so far I think it looks great.  The belly button has a hematoma below it but I think it is ok.  The black area around is sutures/scabs from what I can tell.  There is healthy looking tissue inside the belly button.

Please notice my befores and tell me what you think... I am pretty ecstatic with my abdomen considering the swelling.

I'm so excited for you sweetie, it looks amazing!!!!  How is the pain and recovery been?  I have my hernia repair and abdominalplasty coming up soon, scared but excited!!!!

Thanks BJ, I am very excited!  I wish that one roll could have been addressed better but he said without standing me up off the OR table he coudn't know for sure and had thought he had it pretty good.  He chose not to made incisions up and down my side.  I think if I ever get arms and boobs done those both can be addressed maybe some.  My biggest concern was the abdomen and I am ecstatic with the results so far with that!  I have a belly button.. I have a belly button!!!! LOL

The rolls you are talking about are never fully addressed in a lower body lift.  When you get your arms and boobs done, request a true upper body lift to address the back rolls.  He can do it with side incisions as he said.  I had mine done with a back incision.  You cal also see how much he was able to accomplish in the LBL.  I have since lot 25 pounds.  You look great already.  You are going to enjoy the UBL too.  Loris

How fantastic Loris on your weight loss and changes with your body!

I would love an UBL but cannot afford it unfortunately after paying 11k almost for this one.  

Next big purchase, adopting a child... so unless I win the lottery... it won't happen for a long time if at all.. :(  After losing 200 lbs I wish the insuranc companies would cut us some slack and give me some boobs lol... sigh.

Wow Melissa you look great.....I can't believe it's been a week and you look this good.  I think you will be thrilled with your final results.  VERY Happy for you!!
