Home I am not boring you with all the posts but just wanted to share my photos with who ever wanted to see the process.  I now there were not a lot of extended anchor cut tt photos when I was looking so I wanted to add to what is out there.  Thanks for viewing, hope it is helpful to someone. 

You have to look into my profile to see the photos cause I don't know how to post them in this post.

Wow! Your body looks great.  You have such a beautiful shapely waist.  What will the doctor do with your belly button or will correct itself?
Your doctor did a great job, I'd like to get an anchor cut to remove the same extra skin I have.

Thank you for sharing your pictures.

Wow, first of all thank you for the compliment...so nice to hear.  My Doctor says if the belly button doesn't survive he will take me back to surgery and soe it closed.  There will be no belly button for 4-5 months, then he will do another surgery to re-create a belly button from skin folds by bunching it together.  The belly button will have to live inside my body at that point.  I have named her abbygayle and I hope she makes it cause I don't want two more surgeries (unless I get a breast lift then I would do it).  I will keep you posted.

You are still swollen a little and that's so normal. You are going to love your results! Your waist is so small and the tummy tuck really enhances an hourglass figure! You look amazing!

You look great!  I lost my belly button at surgery because it was adhered to "wadded-up" mesh from a failed hernia repair.  It does not look weird at all but I hear that is how you tell alien from human on Star Trek?

That is funny!  Do you still not have a belly button?  May I see a photo of it?  I go tomorrow and will have to decide if I want the surgery to create one or just not have one. I would like to see what that would look like without it.  If you would send me a photo that would be awesome.

Hi Val,

I'll try to post a picture today.  I am not upset about losing my belly button since it was "wound-up" with uncomfortable mesh.  I don't intend to wear a bikini anytime soon.

I just want to say you look fantastic!! I have to thank you for the photos. I am scheduled to have the same surgery on Jan 5 (pending insurance approval) with a hernia repair . Your photos have given me an idea of what to expect. It  has relieved some of the anxiety of the whole procedure. I can't wait to get rid of all that excess skin.  Again, you look great!

You are so tiny! Wow. Your pics inspired me to get my ass in gear and reach my goal so I can see the thinner me on the inside.

If your belly button doesn't survive why just not go without?
