I guess I'll be brave and share a pic of my tummy at 4 weeks post op from my LBL. :) I know that seeing other people's results helped me a lot in the preparation for my own surgery. I am so happy to be rid of the excess skin and finally feel great in my own skin!
Ps. sorry for the crappy I phone quality pic :). The lighting in my room was horrible and I couldn't get a pic without those shadows... Also, you can't really tell in this pic, but my doctor did a wonderful job tightening my muscles and giving me defined ab muscles. yay!

Thank you so much for sharing. Seeing everyone's photos keeps this front and center for me while I contemplate what I should/need to do.
You look amazing. I do not know how old you are....but to have a tummy like that! What does you butt look like? That is where I have the most sagging skin there and in my upper abdomen and upper thighs.
I went shopping for a swim suit on Saturday for the first time in 15 years. After trying on some of the cutest suits...I just walked out of the store. There is nothing I can do but try to cover as much of my legs and tummy as possible. Even a one piece won't work because of the top of my thighs.
You look fabulous. Please post more photos.

Thanks so much! I am 29 years old. My butt isn't saggy, but it is completely flat. I have always had a flat butt. Luckily, I never had much sagging skin there. The LBL lifted it a few inches and made it perkier. My doctor actually added a little fullness to it by adding a pocket of fat over my tailbone. My bony tailbone has caused me lots of discomfort in the past and it is nice to have a tiny bit of padding there now.
I understand how you feel about swimsuit shopping. Last year, I had lost the weight but still haad the excess skin. It sucked feeling like I didn't even look good in 1 pieces after all the hard work I had done to lose almost 200 lbs through diet and exercise. These surgeries have completely changed that feeling! I bought my first bikini in forever this year :)
Good luck!
