Mid 30's Female Left with a Mess After Losing over 100 Pounds Needing Tummy Tuck and body contouring - Houston, TX

I want to thank everyone for having the courge to post your journey here. I've been obsessed over this site for the last week and I feel more prepared for what's ahead. I think knowing ahead of time the mix of emotions that are to come will help tremendously with my recovery. Has anyone rented a walker for recovery? My husband is going to be working part of the time I'm recovering and I don't want my mom to have to try to lift me if I'm in bad shape and I was thinking a walker would be good to help pick myself up.

These were taken at my consult. I'll post again before my surgery. I'm working out and will be dropping a few pounds over the next few months. These pictures are all the motivation I need to keep going!

So the truth is after losing over 120 pounds and going from a very tight 22w to a size 4 and 6 I was super excited about my transformation. It was a HUGE difference. I felt amazing in clothes, but I didn't like all the skin hanging without them. A compression garment can do wonders and I never left home without mine! After the newness of new body set in I got used to my body and started focusing more and more on what was "wrong" with my body instead of focusing all that was right about it. Over the past year I've allowed myself to gain almost 20 pounds. I'm disgusted with it, even though it's a far cry from where I was. I knew I needed to go ahead and look into a tt so I could fix this crazy mind game my brain is playing. I'm going to do everything in my power to get those 20 pounds off before surgery. I have an amazing plan that works and I've also hired a personal trainer. I'm more motivated than ever. I'm so ready to be happy with what I see in the mirror!
