Trying to ignore my lap scars from RNY...aaaaand my lumpy thighs.
(I will never be satisfied!!)

But at least my belly looks sorta kinda normal!

Surgery appt tomorrow.

Hope to set the date for boobs and arms in December!!

Your stomach looks ridiculously good!  I can't believe the amount of healing you've done in so short a time and how great a job your surgeon did!  Are you using the same person for arms and breasts?  What a brilliant surgeon.  Bravo on that flat tummy you've got.   I am seriously impressed with the transformation!

Lee, you are so sweet! I feel like the healing has been fast also...at least on the outside!

I will be using him for everything.
I love him. Really.

He has mad skills!

If my brachio scars can look as good as my midline abdominal does at 5 1/2 weeks- I'll be more than pleased!

The transformation is crazy. Hard to wrap one's head around it. This morning in the shower- I just automatically reached down to grab everything and lift up on it to wash underneath...but there was nuthin there! I had to look down there and double check.

On a even better note- I've shaved a few minutes off my shower time!

I hear you on the never being satisfied!!! Worried I'm going to get addicted to plastic surgery!! Lol! Thankfully I'm way too broke for that!

Anyway, wow!! Isn't it almost surreal?? I'm still totally shocked when I look in the mirror.

Congrats on your transformation!!!

Thanks Denise.

Lets hope me and you don't up on some Plastic Surgery show on Discovery Health!!


I'm with you on the mirror.
I passed a full length in Target and stopped to stare at myself.

(I don't own a full length...have not ever wanted one!)

Two walls in my bedroom are floor to ceiling mirrors so I've been forced to look at myself regardless of weight.  About a year post-op I made myself actually stop and look at myself and say those California words.... I love you exactly as you are.  :)

I can't imagine how I'll feel after my body by Suaceda is done.

You look super good and I can't believe how healed your incisions look. You look further out than you are.
