I will turn 41 years old on the day I'm scheduled for surgery. I am the mother of 1 child, he will be 21 in a few months. I've battled with my weight for years, its been a rollar coaster. I'm weiging 212 now and I have just decided it's time. I've never been thin, but I would be thrilled to be a size 12 or 14. I'm excited but yet I'm nervous about this surgery. I'll post before pictures next weekend. Thank you to all you ladies for the helpful information you have provided. Many of my concerns have been answered by this website. Best of luck to all of you!

Hey I am glad you made a review so I can find you, I see we are paying the same for the surgery seems to be the going rate I guess. That makes me feel a little better, are you getting lipo when you get yours? He said he is doing my pubic area and flanks, I am still unclear what the flanks are but I guess I will find out, I am weighing abour 204 now and can stuff into a 12 if all the blob comes over the top, he thinks I might be an 8 afterward which is totally unheard of to me after being so fat for so long, even a 10 will make me happy, I just want to be under 200 for 6 months I have not lost any weight I am stuck here that is why he agreed to do it now, so that it might kick the weight loss back into gear too! I live in Mt. Penn! We will have to get together for lunch after our surgeries, in sexy belly shirts, LOL

Wow, your going to look amazing after this procedure. I haven't had weight loss recently, I've been exercising 5 days a week since October and have seen inches disappear but no weight. My plan is to continue my exercise after this and hope to lose about 20 pounds. I'm only 5 ft 4 inches tall so my legs, arms, and butt will need some major workouts. I will find out exactly what the plan is for me tomorrow when I see the doctor again. If he can flatten out the roll and skin under my breasts I'll be thrilled. I'm now fitting my size 16's loose, a true size 14 would make me so happy. I love the idea of meeting one day, that would be great since we live so close. I'll be totally tuned into your updates. I wish you the best of luck.

I agree about the roll under and on the sides of the boobs, ughghg, I want that removed, but I guess he will fix that when he does my boobs in the future, I got a lot of work to be done! Exercise is good I was a 16 in August and weigh basically the same but can now wear a 12 all from exercise it makes a world of difference, I read that a pound of fat takes up like 3 fists, a pound of muscle 1 fist,so the more muscle you can build the better, I know it is crazy to be so scale obsessed it just seems impossible to get under 200 I am 5'10

Well here it is 1 1/2 days till surgery. I'm having mixed emotions, excitement, nervousness and anxiousness. I guess this is normal. I had my husband take my before photos tonight, wow are they an eye opener. Jillian Michaels has been my friend for the past few months, her and I have some major work to do after this surgery. Legs, butt and arms will be our focus!!! I know I still have a long journey ahead of me, but without this extra fat and skin hanging in front of me I will be able to work harder and feel better about myself. My husband is on vacation this week and already is making sure everything is ready for my arrival home Tuesday. We picked up my grandmother's spare walker just in case I need it. Started my Celebrex today. I think I am ready, I'm having a hard time sleeping at night I think it's just the emotions.
Bejewlme- we will definately do dinner this summer. You look amazing and have been such an inspiration for me. i'm so glad things are getting better for you!
