Weight Loss Everywhere but my Tummy Resolved with Abdominoplasty with Liposuction - Edgecliff, NSW

ORIGINAL POST

I've been overweight my entire life and diabetic...

WORTH IT$13,000
I've been overweight my entire life and diabetic for 8 years. At age 49 With a shift in focus for my life I lost 30Kilo's to reverse the diabetes and then kept it off for 2 years. My Legs, thighs, bum and arms became toned and solid and strong but my stomach of excess skin and significant fat just hung lower and lower and bloated. In addition, there was so much excess fat and skin over the pelvic region, my "secret women's business" hung so low I couldn't see it in the mirror. It was embarrassing and it also hung down in the back below my bum, that's how much excess skin and fat. No amount of exercise, 5 days a week for 2 hours a day and 200 - 500 sit-ups 3 days a week would reverse this, it just go worse as I lost more weight and toned up everywhere else. When I sat down, an inner-tube went around my torso and I had to tuck Grapefruit size wads of belly and skin into my jeans, but everyone could see them anyway. I couldn't hide the apron in front no matter how tight my jeans were.

Doctor Jeremy Hunt assessed and discussed what he could do to help. We both agreed the Abdominoplasty with Lipsuction was sufficient to correct all the disfigurement.. he told me I didn't need a lower body lift, which surprised me since so much was hanging, and thighs were in rolls too. I trusted he'd know better than me what to do.

The Results were noticed before I was barely conscious from the anesthesia .. Laying a hand on a flat torso, the WHOLE torso, not just the tummy is the first JOY.. but when I got to the bathroom by myself and looked in the Mirror, I thought I was Hallucinating! Seriously I had NO idea it was possible to remove that much off my torso.. And then I saw the work on my thighs, bum.. I twirled around in the mirror and Oh MY GOD.. I knew I was on hallucinogenics. I burst out of the bathroom to ask my sister what she saw, I couldn't believe it! I have an hourglass figure now like Marilyn Monroe! Before I had a BEACH BALL under my breasts and an apron of skin and fat hanging.. BUT he also pulled my thighs, pelvic and correct the disfigurement of my now beautiful Vagina. It's been 2 weeks.. and I CANT believe it! I've been the "fat girl" since I was 12 years old an now I'm 52. 40 years I've dreamed of a body like this! For 3 years I worked my ass off with exercise and healthy food and a different way of life.. I never gave up, but I was going to be happy just to have "Less" tummy and no apron of skin and fat. What Doctor Jeremy Hunt discovered under all that fat was a very firm, sexy hard body of Marilyn Monroe.. I'm over the moon, I've never been so happy in my entire life to stand in the mirror and feel like the Goddess I always dreamed I could be one day. It just took me 40 years to give up on exercise and go for surgery.. Honest to GOD if I knew I looked like this under all that fat and skin, I would have done this 20 years ago. I look and feel like I'm 30 now... Don't wait, JUST DO IT! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ME so much now.. I feel so wonderful and I'm not on any pain killers as I type this, haven't had them for days now.. this is me, so excited with the greatest investment of my entire life. Thank you so much to Dr Hunt and his team, it was such a smooth, easy, process. They handled EVERYTHING so I just had to show up. His team in his office is the most efficient team of doctor and practitioner I've ever experienced. Everything was so easy, so simple, so professional. Don't wait.. go see Doctor Jeremy Hunt, he is kind hearted, smiles and confident.. and rightly so, I see his work and experienced the process.. AMAZING!

I think the first visit is where "peace" begins with Jeremy Hunt. It took 2 years for me just to make the phone call for a consultation. But I'd tried everything for an additional 2 yrs after losing the initial weight to reduce the tummy and it just got worse as I got fitter and more toned. Doctor Hunt was Kind, almost playful about another injury on my nose I'd just incurred on my Motorcycle.. That relaxed me enough to talk about probably the most embarrassing topic in my life. I felt comfortable and NOT judged and he also told me that many people struggle with additional weight loss at a certain point. I felt like I'd found my person, the doctor who didn't judge, he acknowledged my efforts to tone up and knew when he saw my tummy he could help. He is confident, knew exactly what to do and showed me several before and after photos of his patients. I could see myself in those photos. But what is interesting is, MY OWN results after my surgery are spectacular! I think I look WAYYYY better than the photo's of the "after shots" of the other patients.. so I guess I didn't have "Pie in the sky" expectations, he was realistic of what I'd look like. And honestly, I'd of been happy with any of those photo "after" shots of his other patients.. but MY body is extraordinary now.. He is professional, respectful, efficient, the process is smooth and easy. I just had the bandages off the other day and the scar is barely noticeable. But what is even better, as a diabetic that skin that was previously there was brown from the apron hanging down.. disfigured. He removed that and the new skin is beautiful pink and white like the rest of me.. My scar looks 100% prettier than what was there prior to the surgery. Anybody that has a tummy that hangs down like an apron knows what I'm talking about.

Wow! What a story! Congratulations! Post photos!! So excited for you!
Yes. Please post pictures!!! I would love to see your story... I am losing weight now... hope to have a TT like you in about a year.
Amazing journey! Thank you for sharing.
Your journey has brought me to tears. I am so happy for you, and I understand more than most would. May I suggest something? If you are on insulin and I am, I didn't want to start putting the shots back in my tummy because over time with me it left spots on my skin. After my tt I started giving myself the shots in my upper thigh on the sides where the skin is a little tougher. I am sure I don't look as good as you do. But I still didn't want to scar up my new smooth tummy either. Would love to see your before and after shots. congratulations!
Did u heal good
