WORTH IT$24,000
I cannot be happier.
Its been over a yr and 3 mths and I am seeing a 6 pack. I am getting results I never in my life thought possible. I even see 20 yr olds come into the gym and my stomach is in MUCH BETTER shape then theirs and they are cheerleaders..LOL.. I am not kidding.
I am beyond thrilled with my results. I feel like a rock star...

I will be posting photos soon
How about your inner thigh scars?? Can you please comment on how those turned out? Maybe post a pic?
I have my first consult with a doctor on Dec 1st! I'm so excited! One of my main questions is are we able to gain and tone muscle after this is done? I know we can workout but can we build and tone the muscles to look better?
I admire your commitment and you deserve the beautiful body that you work so hard to achieve and maintain. Keep up the good work!!!
This is really an inspiration. Like you I was heavy in high school, lost it, and started working out with weights later in life. It is SO annoying that my lower half does not match my upper half. I had a tummy tuck in 1992, but the only real benefit I got out of that was 6 cm of extra skin removed and tighter lower ab muscles (which prevented a midlife hernia, so I am happy about that. Hernias run in my family). But the tuck pulled a lot of me *down* and now it all looks like it needs to be pulled back *up*. I am 57 now, weigh 123, still work out with weights but have all this looseness/extra flesh going on. My inner thighs are worse than ever. All the thigh lift photos I've seen involve horrendous long scars. It seems like a lower body lift might be a better way to go. I'm happy you got the results you were looking for.
Nice! Congrats :D. You truly do look great.

Been a long time

Its been a while but I wanted to update you all on my progress.
I am back full force at the gym. Doing well.. gained about 10lbs of muscle or more.
I am extremely happy with results. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow for a follow up. Its been about 10 mths now. I have one jump on the back of my leg (under rear) what I have had forever.. I might want to have that addressed. Other then that, I am great, feel great and getting in better shape each day. I am hoping to get a 6pack this yr and more defined legs and rear..
I am hitting goals I never thought I could.

Amazing
Girlfriend you better do it. Fabulous
Oh I am! I am on a mission.. all the baggage literally cut away... LOL.. nothing is stopping me now
Wow! Phew-phew!!!! You are looking AMAZING, Sandy! You motivate me and inspire me to work harder. Love the definition in the back! Thanks for sharing :D
Honey! Been a long time.. Hope you're doing well.. Thank you.. I am an animal in the gym..LOL..
Hi, you and I were 'done' about the same week. I used to have a 'barrel', then a keg and now a 6-pack. Amazing isn't it. So pleased with the photos of your result, well done. Read my review for my updates as well. Look after your 'new you' and love life again.
GOOD FOR YOU.. thats amazing.. I will have to check yours too. hope to see afters also :) I am so happy with the results and going to push myself for more.. i am def on a mission to get the 6 pack.. I am right there!!!
I'm thinking of getting lower bod lift,hate the excess skin,do feel complete and are you happy with your inner thighs(tight enough?) And are you happy with your backside(heard they can literally chop it of with lift)
I am.. but let me tell you, I wasnt in the beginning. I was freaking out at how high my back side scar was and we never discussed going all the way to the knee, we talked about going half way.. so when I woke up, I was so upset for days about seeing my scar all the way to the knee, as well as the back side being so high.. I was so worried it would show when I leaned over or my undies not covering it.. He did tell me the scar was going to lower.. it did.. and as I started to heal, I am actually glad he went to the knee now (although it should have been very clear prior).. because I feel my body is so much tighter now.. I feel like I can meet goals now physically that was IMPOSSIBLE before, due to this surgery.. You will be regretting it though for the 1st mth.. If you meant my butt being fluffy looking.. I had a nice round butt before but too much in a way.. so the lift brought it to where I like it now.. It may look a little flat the 1st 3 mths but once the scar heels, you tend to notice your butt more.. if that makes sense Good luck with it all
Thanks for taking the time to respond,youre very inspirational!

You are one haute momma! Congratulations Hunnie! You deserve this. Soak it all up!
Thank you... I feel like I can finally hit goals with fitness I never knew possible.. also, my ab muscles are so tight (sewn) that I feel like I am 20..LOL..
You look terrific! Congrats on your beautiful results! If you don't mind my asking, how much did it cost to have the laser on your BB? Mine looks like yours did, with a thick red scar around it. My PS is going to inject it with cortisone this week and says it will help a lot. But I have also thought about getting it lasered, if it isn't too costly...
I am not yet even doing my inner thigh. Its $650 a treatment. It can take 1-6 treatments. The darker the skin, the chance of it being more then 3. I want to do it so bad. I will post after my 2nd and see how it is. But chances r, I won't be able to do more then 3 anyway. Getting tapped.. And I want to save for inner thigh too. I never heard of cortisone. Let me know how that turns out!!
What was the name of laser they used. I had a friend that had a tummy tuck. Her's looks nothing like yours. your results are absolutely amazing. Good for u. Awsome.
