Thank you so much!! I'm surprised at how different it has made me feel. I certainly look sooo much better, but it's not just that. I didn't realise how much emotional baggage I was carrying around with me til it was suddenly gone. Double win!!

Why the vertical verses no vertical incision?

With the tummy tuck portion of the LBL, skin is only pulled down. That means that any skin that can be grabbed in the across direction stays there. I think with a plain high lateral tension tummy tuck some of this can be pulled diagonally and tighten it up a bit, but pulling straight down does nothing to tighten it at all. Am I making sense? It means that even though I could be tight in the up - down direction, I'd still be loose side to side rather than cinched in at the waist. I have a weird mental analogy of seriously stretched socks or stockings, you can pull them up all you like but they'll still be loose unless you can cinch them in. It took some wrapping my head around as I really didn't think I had that much excess side to side, but I am very happy with the shape my surgeon has achieved. Still a big trade off for the scar though.

Looks fabulous! Just wondering who your surgeon was and whether there were many to choose from when you went looking? Thanks.

I'm healing well. Still not upright, and still leaning to the side a little (tighter on one side, I think due to an old scar), but I'm getting there.

I am very happy with my result. I have swelling still in my lower back of all places, but I am expecting that to eventually go away which should make for a nicer curve. Any other swelling (I think) is fairly minor. Obviously I'm not perfect, but you can see my before weight loss pictures and probably appreciate the enormity of the improvement!!

This whole thing is strangely liberating. Following my weight loss people started referring to me as attractive and some admired my figure (!). It felt like a lie though, I knew what was underneath my clothes and it wasn't what people were expecting. Now, scars and all, I don't feel like I'm faking anymore. A very strange, very welcome feeling. It doesn't matter that no one other than my husband (and you!!) will see me naked, just knowing in myself that I have nothing left to 'hide' makes me feel amazing. For my own sake, no one else's. I am one very happy girl, more so than I had anticipated.

I'll add some updated pictures soon.

Thank you for the kind comments :) .
