Pic of 9 days post-op LBL with muscle repair

 Thanks! My weight prior to plastics was around 190 lbs. I am 6'2" so that put me in a healthy BMI range.  I didn't have surgery to lose the weight.  I started at 380 lbs and lost half my weight through diet and walking over a year and a half time frame.  

WOW...GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! Looking at your body now, NO ONE would be able to imagine you were ever overweight.

 THat is so nice of you to say!! Thank you!!

PS   you need to submit your story to Fitness and Shape magazines

 My friends are telling me the same thing.  I am pretty private.  I don't know if I ever would actually have the guts to do it.. haha! Never say never though :)

You should...seriously.  You have an inspiring story to tell.  You might be amazed what doors open for you when you do.  I hope you will.  I understand the privacy issue, but you look amazing and give hope to others who cannot qualify for surgery or don't have insurance.

 :) Thanks! 

 Thanks so much!  You really look awesome and ought to be proud of your accomplishment.  I want to have a LBL first and then have my arms done.  My breasts are okay and I will live with my thighs.  Thanks again for sharing.

 Thank you!  Good luck with your plastics!!

Your surgeon did an amazing job.
