Liz, thank you for sharing these photos. You look absolutely fantastic! I'd love to have such a flat stomach. I have (or will have - it's the way I'm built) a relatively small waist, but my stomach/abdomen hasn't been flat for a long time. Way back when it was concave! But that was long ago. I'd love to have as flat a stomach as you!
My neck is mostly fine except for my jawline, which has been getting sloppy for a while now - I have developed jowls, which I hate. I would love, love, love to get rid of them! Plus my eyelids have slowly descended until they rest right on my eyelashes. I really would so love to have a result like yours. You look perfectly wonderful!
Dr Bernard Shuster hands down!!! He's in Hollywood and I had my arm lift and breast done with him and had outstanding results. I am getting my LBL with him next year too. He makes you feel so comfortable and is incredibly honest. If you decide to go see him, let me know I will give you my name for a referral. You will not be disappointed. Ps. If you want to see his work on me check out my instagram page (nadiamazz). Ps. I lost 170lbs

The fessing up part is more painful than the thing itself most of the time...
Thank you! You are going to look wonderful and toned with all your swimming! It feels good not to have your tummy jiggling around when exercising and not have to stuff it into clothes.

Once you're in a garment you don't really care but it does cover (mostly) like underwear. I wore them on/off after day 8 (which is also when my drains came out).

Yeah, I had to shimmy out of my undies in the bathroom stall and ball them up and tuck them in my pocket. The worst part was that then I had to fess up to what I did in front of husband and kids because otherwise, I was going to have to ride in the car with pee soaked underwear in my pocket.

I don't really remember how long I went without, like a few things, it was one of those "I was able to start wearing underwear again when I started caring about it." :)
For my LBL, I had both drains out at the first post-op appointment which was 8 days post-op.

The crotch-less-ness of the garments drove me nuts with everything peeking out rubbing on pants. I experimented with wearing underwear over/under them and settled on over. Until the day that we were traveling and I opted to pee through the garment hole but forgot to pull the underwear down. That was fun.
