You are so sweet Heidi.  I think OH attracts a lot of awesome people. Maybe because so many overweight and formerly overweight people have learned to be more sensitive and develop their personalities due to the poor treatment of society. 

In any case I love the interaction with other members here.. seems so much higher quality than the average person in real life.  I am also honored to have several real life friends I have met from this board.. and every single one of them is amazing.

I can't imagine going through this journey without the help of OH folks.  I wouldn't want to.  It is such a helpful thing to have that camaraderie, support and understanding of those that have been there.

You look fab!!! Like others said, can't wait to see your progression.  My arms and legs/hips are thin, but I will never lose the fat from my back, stomach, and muffin top.  It is still filled with sig. fat and has shown no signs of going away no matter my diet/exercise.  So happy you posted, gives me more hope.  And your bubbs look great, awesome shape.

Thank you!  I could have lost more in my arms and thighs, but they just didn't bother me like my belly, and like you I just didn't think all the diet and exercise in the world was going to change that.  When I sold my house I didn't think there was any better way to spend the money than investing it in myself. 

It was cool being a homeowner but I love these results way better then all the work of owning a house anyway.  Thanks about my boobs.  They are really hard feeling, and the implants aren't dropped yet.  I don't seem to have cleavage yet but we'll see how things turn out.  It's hard to wait when you are excited.. you know? But I hear they change a lot over the next 3-6 months.

Thank you!  Are you thinking of a tummy tuck or LBL yourself? Or have you had one already?  I would never post pictures like this if I didn't just feel so comfortable with the folks around here and so many others who were brave before me.. even showing their faces!

 I am thinking I will need a tummy tuck, thigh lift and BA/BL. But to tell you the truth, I am petrified to ave PS. I don't know if I will ever have the courage but looking at pics and reading this board are helping me understand and sort things out.

I agree with everyone else...You look fantastic! Can't wait to see how many sizes you are down once the swelling goes away. If you are like me, it may take the swelling a while to subside. So glad to hear that your recovery is going well. You are tougher than I am, for sure! That's a LOT of surgery! Way to go!!!

I know.. I hope I go down a few sizes.. I could use at least a size!  At first the swelling was in my legs and they looked like tree trunks.  I started elevating and that went away.  Now I'm swelling in my belly.. boo!  I was enjoying looking down at all that flatness. Boo to poofy! 

I can't say that I'm too tough.. just didn't want to have to go through that hell more than once! I figured I'd do it all at once and get it over with. I was scared but I knew that if I didn't think about the pain.. just went in denial, that once I had it done I'd just have to deal with it.. no choice right?

And I was so wimpy about the pain I had to make them keep in me in the hospital on morphine and have people caring for me, even though I was supposed to go home the next day.  I screamed and cried like a baby when they tried to send me home. LOL.

Hugs.. you are just stunning!

WOW!  Looking amazing and still so soon out of surgery!  I have to say...even though not much of them are shown, your thighs look excellent - much tighter!  You will have to let me know if that's truly the result!  I am thinking of a LBL...it's still a year away but wow...if I could have results like that - awesome!  Hope you continue to heal well!!
