I haven't posted anything in awhile due to being ABLE to get out and do some fun summer stuff. I love being able to get out and not hurt after. I feel so free and young again. I will post a few pics of me during the past few months. I have read the comments below and I am so excited that my story has helped others in their own quest. I promised myself that if I can do anything with this experience, it was to document it. Document it all, no matter how embarrassing the pics or review. I had trouble finding information and stories that related to me. I wanted to help others and help them work out the process as I wish I could have found. I have met some really spectacular ladies on here. Not to mention the great support they showed to me! I hope I put this TT and thighplasty process into perspective. Just remember the recovery time is HELL but it is only a few weeks and will seem like a great trade off once things have healed properly!! I will try to update more often from now on! Cheers my friends!

Couple more weeks and I think I'll be back to normal...or at least back to better then normal...Im excited to see and feel my new muscles when I work out! Wore my heels to a wedding tonight and did well! I miss wearing heels and dressing girly, I'm almost back to that...I swell up pretty good by start of evening, almost every night...I've been back to work for two weeks now and I wore my binder the first week and a compression tank top the second week..as soon as I get home I slap my binder on and wear it from about 5 pm till I wake up in morning...then I like to wear it while I'm getting ready and moving around alot...everyday seems to be better then the last...my thighs are healing well and are almost all sealed...the top of my thighs were I had Lipo are still sensitive, as well as my knees but other then that they are looking really nice...I need to call the Dr. to find out when I can swim and hot tub...I'm going to add some before and after pics

How much weight did you lose from the surgery? Did you go down sizes? I ask bc you and I have very similar pre surgery bellies, so I'm trying to gauge what I'll look like after my tt. Thanks!

I did not lose much weight, about 25 pounds and am still wearing the same size pants, but I actually fit the pants and look good in them...I didn't go into this wanting to be skinny or go down a bunch of sizes, I just wanted to be a fabulous me! And be able to work out for the body I want...And that's what I got...my Dr. made sure I was aware that this is a slow process and with good diet and exercise within a year I should be the me I want to be!...I have noticed that my pants are now getting loose and that my body is still changing every week...I'm excited to get back to the gym next week and see what other changes will be taking place!! :-)

You look awesome. Do you have any recent pics? Are you still swelling up at certain times in the day??? Any advice if I am thinking of getting a tummy tuck through the same doc as you???

I still swell up some...mostly by the evening and when I don't eat right...I would recommend Dr. Workman 1000 percent! He made me beautiful.and gave me the body I wanted and asked for! I love him, his staff and even his wife! He has done tummy tucks on two of his nurses and his wife and they ALL look great!
