 That is great and you have three healthy children too.  Keep up your success:)  It's nice to hear a happy ending once in a while.

Hi Vixen and welcome to the LW board!

I hit my goal of 125 9 months after surgery and lost 93 lbs then - I now am below by a few pounds and bounce around a bit. 

I had a tummy tuck back in January of this year to get rid of the excess tummy skin.  I had the anchor cut (which is the hip to hip and vertical up the middle of the stomach) with muscle tightening.  I could have gotten away without the vertical, but I'm very happy with my flat flat tummy! 

I just had a scar revision on the vertiical cut 2 weeks ago - and its looking MUCH better. 

I'd like to have a LBL and boobs done too - but if I had to choose between the 2, it would be the boobs.  I can live with my lower body.

Something to think about and remember when you get to that point is - most surgeons want you to maintain at your goal for 4-5 months before plastics.  NOW - that's what I did, but even after that, my leftover fat redistributed still - falling into my thighs.  I also had gained a few lbs, and after taking that off, luckily some of it DID come back off my thighs - and they really aren't all that bad.  I think I can live with it!

HW-218/SW-208/CW-126/ Lowest Weight-121/Goal-125 - hit 8/23/09/Height-5'3"

Regain 30 lbs from 2012 to 2016 - got back on track and lost it.  Took 8 months. 
90+/- pounds lost      
BMI - 24 or so
Starting BMI between 35 and 40ish?

 I am scared of you:)  That is great.  I didn't know tucks could be done vertical.  Technology has allowed us to truly re-create ourselves to our own liking.  Loosing the weight will be my focus and the within the next two years seeing what my body wants as well.. 

Thanks for sharing and I hope your scars heal as well as expected.

Hi there and welcome to the LW board!  As for me, I think I was a fast loser because I lost all my weight (83 pounds!) in exactly 8 months.  I also got very lucky in the skin department with no excess skin at all besides a little bit under my arms which I am hoping will get better with time and toning.  Also, even though my boobies have shrank drastically, they started out as 42DDs and now they are 36Bs, they are still nicely shaped and not too saggy so I think I will keep them and just embrace being small. lol 
                                  Goal in EIGHT months!
 
         Highest/Surgery Weight 248 Goal Weight 165 Current Weight 165-175
                           Starting BMI 33.7 Current BMI 22.1
             I'm 42 years young, my height is 6' and I've had no plastics!

 That is great!  8 months sounds awesome.  It sounds like you are pretty well put together.  Thanks for your input.
