The cost was initially shocking, but it was well worth it! I have lost over 80 pounds over a period of 3 years and had a lot of excess skin over my abdomen and inner thighs. I was pleased with my weight loss but felt uncomfortable and sometimes even ashamed of the way my body looked nude. I knew I would not be able to fit into a smaller size without having the excess skin removed so I began to investigate my options and potential surgeons. I had a little difficulty with the recovery due to a complication unrelated to the surgery itself.

The tummy tuck portion itself was not bad at all. I had more pain with the thigh lift due to the incisions being in my inner thighs and just below my buttocks so sitting and walking was uncomfortable for about a month. Even so, I am extremely happy I had the procedure done and I am now planning on surgery for my upper body to include brachioplasty and a breast lift. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has put in the hard work it takes to lose a lot of weight. I feel like a new person and have gone from a size 10/12 to a size 6. I feel like I am well on my way to "getting my body back"! I can't wait to finish the journey!



Updated on 4 Apr 2012:
UPDATE: Since having my surgery I have lost another 20 pounds, making my total weight loss 100 pounds. I'm not sure why, but it seems like my metabolism kicked up a notch or two after the procedure! I am now a size 4 and feel more comfortable than ever!

How long would you recommend taking off of work? Was the pain manageable?

Thanks

The pain was very manageable (with medication). The thigh incisions were more painful than the abdomen and it is difficult to use the restroom for a few weeks (I hadn't really thought about that). I got a potty lift to make it easier so that I wouldn't have to bend down all the way to use the toilet. I took a week off of work and that was plenty of time.

Thanks, How were stairs? And are scars as bad as I hear?

Thanks

for the first few weeks, you'll need to take your time with stairs, but I managed with 3 flights. The scars are actually disappearing and my doctor said they are likely to continue diminishing with time. I was very vigilent about applying creams / lotions though.
