Well, nine months ago today I had 85% of my tummy removed and I haven't looked back or once regretted doing it. I don't miss is one iota!! My journey was a piece of cake and has been such a joy. Now that I am learning to maintain I actually miss the excitement of the losing phase but alas, all good things must come to an end. Anyway, these pics have all been posted before but I am sure there are some newbies who can benefit so I am posting again. Seeing all the "before" and "after" pics are what kept me going when I was pre-op and early out so I want to pay it forward....enjoy!

I'm so jealous! I have 44 lbs to go to goal... You look amazing! I'm sure I will need plastics to look that good, though. I started out about 60 lbs heavier than you. I will get there! I figure by mid-May. Then I'll get the plastics next fall!!!

Thank you for the inspiring pics!!!
