I'm curious, When you went in for surgery, I'm sure most of you weighed yourself... and based on what your surgeon removed from your procedure(s), how much skin/tissue/fat, etc was removed and what did you have done? I am at about 180 pounds lost from my highest weight and have had several consultations... but haven't taken the plunge yet... I carried most of my weight in my hips, stomach and thighs so those would be my focus areas... Just curious on some realistic expectations.
mine too! I wish I'd had this done when I was young - although I became super morbidly obese in my 30s, so I would have had to have had it re-done after I lost all that weight...
ditto here! love that i can even go braless most days at almost 62 y/o. they're so cute!

I spent a lot of time on realself researching surgeons and looking at before & after pictures. I still look at it occasionally even though my two plastic surgeries were over a year ago - comparing my results to other people's, which I know I probably shouldn't do! I must admit he did a great job with my breast lift, though - I don't see many that I like better (or even the same, for that matter...)
I swear I can look at surgical Before and After photos FOR DAYS (insert Squints from The Sandlot's quote here: "FOR-EV-VER")
Anyone else? Wishful thinking for the natural progression of a bariatric patient, I guess? Trying to save every penny I can!
Went and saw my surgeon on 3/13 for my checkup on my extended TT and arms. All my scars are fading and I'm a head of the healing schedule. Talked about my 5/5 surgery and he's taking the wait and see approach.
