 So, I finally got up the nerve to try on a bikini that I bought before I had surgery (to wear after surgery).  I'm still very swollen, but I wanted to share how my body looks 9 days post op from a LBL with muscle repair.  I had an extended brachioplasty and BL 3 months ago as well.  I have no curves anymore after my weight loss ... haha! I am still not in my pre op pants yet, but I know that is most likely due to swelling.  I am trying my hardest to be patient. I am living in a nightgown and robe right now anyway :)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how my midsection is looking so far.  I am pretty pleased with how things are shaping up. I love the definition that the muscle repair gave to my abs. :) Next surgery is a medial thigh lift in June. That is my final surgery! Yay!!

You look fantastic. Wow! I wouldn't have guessed you were only nine days out.

 Thanks so much!  I'm glad you can't see the swelling. I am up 10 lbs on the scale (if you factor in the 6 lbs of skin he took off) so there is unfortunately some swelling going on.  I can feel it in my mid section and my upper thighs.

You look awesome!  Great Contouring.  I would love to see your arms up close if you have a picture of them.  Thanks for sharing.

 My arms look exactly like your before arm. The after looks GREAT! Makes me excited for my eventual arm lift!
If you don't mind a question, how far down towards your elbow if the insition/scar?
Thank you for posting and sharing!

 Thanks!  My scar stops about 3 inches from my elbow (maybe 4). Good luck with your plastics!!

 Your arms are fantastic!  Do you mind me asking what your preweight was prior to surgery?
