Oh Renee! thank you so much! I don't know why, but I'm so emotional tonight. I'm having a hard time. I have so many regrets for allowing myself to ever gain so much weight. I didn't feel this way last time. Maybe I'm anxious and this is how I'm dealing with it. I don't know. I appreciate your reply! Thank you!

Thanks Laura!
I don't know why I did that. It just hit me all of a sudden!
I'm better now. Thank you! You're right, we are deserving of a bright and happy future! We've worked too hard to be so hard on ourselves!

My high weight was 225, and I'm 140. I had 3lbs of skin and a liter of fat with my LBL, BL, sm upper thigh and arms. I haven't changed sizes at all. Still in 9 jeans, but the low hip huggers slide right off w/o the panni skin to hold them up. I'm 5'1" and am still 8lbs over a normal BMI, but this is where I stopped and I look normal. No more muffin top, or hanging panni. With my new perky girls, I'm feeling so much better about myself and my confidence that's I've started dancing. I did bounce down to 134, then back up to 140.

I started at 254, had first round of reconstruction at 130. LBL with anchor, BR/BL and brachio had 7 pounds of skin.

Had second round of reconstruction at 123 pounds. Thighs were 2 pounds.

I had little to no fat that was removed as it was already gone, but dropped a size after the first round.
