Upcoming TT promised before pics
I told a few of you that I'd have some pics up of the pannus since quite a few didnt think I had one LOL so they're in my pictures now - a folder called "BeforePlastics" - pass is 'blah' there is no intended adult content just a little hanging skin in ''that area'' but folder is adult rated just because of that ...
Message me or post on here...really dont care if you decide to comment just please dont be rude - we all go through this and it took guts to post those -_-

The first pictures don't give people a clue to what was 'hanging below' I do understand. I carried most of my weight on my torso.. so the breasts and the gutflap were awful. I love my plastic surgeon. He is very very good with our very worn and stretched to the max skin. Good luck on your journey, so exciting to go into plastics. Hope you enjoy all the benefits to losing the skin.

I hope so too - I can only hope I have a good surgeon as well, he has good ratings and a surgeon that doesnt take my insurance referred me to him - he has even had his own gallbladder taken out by MY gastric surgeon - how about that LOL
I'm so excited and so nervous to have all this off me - I'm smaller now than I was even in 5th grade but this is killing my already worn out back - could care less about some muffin top I just want the excess pressure gone!

It's like so weird after, you will understand. You can see things.. and pee differently.. it's just so different than now. I often found, and even find, my hands on my belly.. I really enjoy not having that hanging thing anymore. It was there my whole life, worse after losing weight. So it being gone is very different. Can't wait for your after pics :)

Wow. As Bonnie said, the first pictures hid your pannus well. You will feel so much better when it's gone!! And you'll be so tiny!! I only had 5 pounds of skin removed and feel like a new person.
I feel like plastic surgery is a "reward" for a job well done.

It is amazing how good we get at covering and camoflaging things huh?
I don't think anyone at work knows "what lies beneath".
I wear body smoothing garments and only black pants or skirts to hide my huge pannus that lies down on my thighs.
I have had people ask why I am having plastics...
if they only knew.
Thanks for sharing pics. You are brave!
So excited for you!
Good days are ahead!!

Do you have a surgery date scheduled? I am about four weeks out and LOVING my results already, even as swollen as I am. I am getting ready to post my pre plastic pics too and now my afters. It is worth every penny, minute of discomfort, and every penny I've done without from being off from work! So excited for you. My plastics were a treat to myself for all my hard work in my weight loss journey. Welcome to the club! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you. Best of luck!
