Hijack Cyndi!  I have that space between my upper thighs too!  It's beautiful!  LOL!
I've been living my life - falling madly in love and just enjoying the new body!
How have you been?

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.

 I did my thighs along with a brachioplasty. It was a rough recovery but well worth the results. If you make a few preperations like mentioned above (toilet seat riser) and maybe sleeping in a recliner in the early days it really helps. I would definitely do it again.

the thighs was the worst out of all of them, but would I do it again? YES cause they were very painful for about 5 days or so then each day was better and  love the way  they look

 The thighs were the worst, but manageable.  I'm 6 weeks out from my inner thigh lift now.  I had a lot of excess skin, and my scar goes a little past my knee.

The scar is a simple tradeoff for me.  It doesnt bother me much at all, and is much better than the excess skin I had.  I was already at goal weight (normal BMI) and my PS still managed to lipo 4 lbs of fat from my thighs, and removed 2 pounds of skin.  So for me, it was totally worth it.

Before my Inner thigh lift my thighs measured about 25 inches around, today they are 21 inches.

Wow Joanne, 4 inches off your thighs at your BMI is incredible!  I immediately grabbed a tape measure to see where mine are.  I measure 23 at the biggest part.  I have a lot of muscle in my thighs along with all this skin and fat.  Now I'm so curious to see what Dr. S will be able to do with mine.  I think I'm going to have a long scar as well since I have big fat pads around my knees.

 Hi Lee,
I did!  But a lot of the excess skin was just hanging, draped skin that took up a lot of room.  I have some pictures on my profile if you want to see what I'm talking about.

My long scar at 7 weeks is already starting to flatten and fade.  I'm going on a cruise in a week and I'll be wearing shorts for the first time since, um, probably my teenage years!  I'm much less self conscious of the scars that I was of the skin.  Plus, they're well placed.  You really dont see them if I'm just standing there, they're on the inside towards the back.

Have so much fun on the cruise!  Even with my extra skin, I wore shorts for two weeks in Spain last summer.  It was so hot and I just didn't care.  You're going to feel so liberated!!
