I am 9 months post surgery and have NEVER felt better! I lost all my weight in 2011 and had been working out VERY hard, my stomach was rock hard, but there was skin that needed to be removed and I wanted to wear a bikini again...I hadn't done that since college! I am confident and LOVE to wear fitted shirts now :)

Marykay - Just read your postings, you will do great!! I am so curious to hear what you think of the lopo on the flanks, I was going to do it and at the last minute changed my mind and now I WISH I would have gone with it. My surgeon was so amazing, I know he would have done an amazing job. Think where you will be by the end of January - it will be awesome!! Last night I watched a video my hubby shot of me the night prior to surgery, pics are great, but seeing video of me pulling and tugging at the extra skin was REALLY eye opening. Once that skin was gone my abs were revealed and I can now say I have pretty awesome abs!! :) Merry Christmas and EVERYTHING will go wonderfully, enjoy the sedation vacation :)

Today is officially 13 weeks and we leave in 2 days for Hawaii and I feel FANTASTIC!!! Just got my bikini in the mail today and had to share pics!! The only residual issues I have is some numbness, minor bloating and some strange "tugging" sensations. I am thinking ALL of those will pass with time. I am back to working out, doing HOT yoga almost every day and just ran a 5K this last weekend! When I return from Hawaii I am thinking about getting a personal trainer to help with the "finishing touches!" ha!! My weight is stabalizing and this morning I am 4.5 pounds from my DREAM weight...and 1/2 pound from my goal weight! Thank you all for your support and comments! ALOHA!

You look amazing, jealous are are already to go out in your bikini. I live in Hawaii and my family goes to the beach every weekend and I'm stuck wearing my spanx and a tank top, hopefully I can wear my bikini out soon.

10 weeks tomorrow and feeling great! I didn't post pics the last few weeks as my weight kept fluctuating up and down 5 pounds and it was making me pissy! Today up 2 pounds, but hoping that's water retention/PMS. I have been jogging for about a month and JUST got released to ALL activity last week, so I got in 3 yoga sessions. My musles are TIGHT and outta shape, but it feels great to get them working again! We leave for Hawaiii in 24 days - now I gotta get my toosh in shape! Going Bikini shopping this weekend - eeek! But excited. My oldest kid doesn't want me to get a bikini, silly boy! I still have swelling when I work out and in the morning, I am hoping that will go away with time, its rather flat in the mornings so hoping that will be the end result! Thanks all for your comments :)
