I have worked for 3 years to lose 111 pounds and am now rewarding myself with a tummy tuck. I have quite a bit of lose skin on my abdomen and I am ready to look as good as I feel.

Updated on 10 Apr 2012:
I am now 17 weeks post op and still so happy with my decision to have this surgery. As spring and summer role around and I am beginning to wear swimsuits I am so proud of my new belly. For so long I have been embarrassed of my extra skin and worked so hard to cover it up. I am thrilled to be able show it with pride. I am about 9 pounds heavier than I was when I had my surgery but I am attributing some of that to my workouts. When I look at my pictures I don't see that I look any bigger so maybe it's muscle. I still don't have feeling in many places on my front side and still no feeling on my sides where the lipo was done. I have gotten used to it though, which I didn't think I ever would. I ran my first 5K race since my surgery and it was wonderful to do it without having that mass of skin bouncing up and down. I actually came in 2nd place in my age group! This surgery has given me motivation to do so many things that I was emabarrassed to do before. So grateful to Dr. Rizzutti for doing such and amazing job!

So I just posted pics in two new 2 piece bathing suits. I can't wait till I can work out again and get back in shape. I want to see my tummy workouts show on my tummy. I worked so hard last summer and didn't see any results. I will be able to see them this summer thanks to my new tummy. Looking foward to a tan too! So worth it!

You look really good.

Looking great, I always heard not to get on the scale for 8 weeks, by then the swelling weigh should be gone. Too late but may help with perspective. - thanks for mentioning the Belly button and marble - think I will try that - mine seems to be getting smaller and longer.
Bellanocha 15 Jan 2012
Lisa-WOW!! Love that new bikini-you look amazing! I'm 5'9 (used to be almost 5'10-LOL!) Not really sure of my weight as I NEVER weigh just go by how my clothes fit...you do look TINY to me too!! I'm still holding out hope as I'm only 3 1/2 weeks out :)
