Thanks for sharing!! You look GREAT! I'm always interested in those that have anchor cuts because there are not as many of us. I'm happy with mine, even though I've had to have it revised, and it's still not perfect. Like you mentioned, we'll never be 100% happy!

My pics are public if haven't looked and want to. I'm posting monthly.

Happy for you!!!

Thanks Laina. I saw your revision pics. Looks good.

I wonder if I will end up doing that. As my swelling subsides...I notice the area above my umbilicus is not as tight...a slight pooch has appeared.

Not a deal breaker certainly...god knows I look so much better.
But sometimes I think there could be another little chunk (like yours) that could come off.

I will see my surgeon today. I mentioned it last time...he was not in the mood to listen to complaints at my 3 week visit!

We'll see how he is feeling today!

Either way...you and I look fabulous Dahling!!

Hi
Could you add me as a friend so I can see your pics? I had the same surgery just two days after you.

Are you considering your thighs. I got some old man balls going on and I just know that when I get my circumferential that it's going to force me to see those giant hot dog buns even more!

OMG Ju- I almost choked on my coffee at your note.

Yes, removing the belly flop has shone the light brightly on my thighs. I absolutely hate them.

But, I know insurance won't cover so they are gonna have to wait.

Went to surgeon appt this afternoon.
Breast lift and brachioplasty has been scheduled for Dec 14.
Yipee!!
