WORTH IT$7,100
I eat because I'm happy, because I'm sad, because I'm bored, lonely, frustrated, anxious,nervous, and sometimes on rare occasions I eat because I am hungry. : )In 2012 I lost 110 pound going from 243 to 133 I fluctuate between 133-140 depending on my cycle and my anxiety level. God has allowed me to overcome this addiction to food and learn to depend on him to make me whole. I still struggle but I seek progress not perfection these days and I speak kindly to myself and take time to invest in myself spiritually, physically and emotionally. in 2013 I had a breast reduction, so very needed as I had huge 36g boobs prior to weight loss, now I have this adorable 32 c cup AND no pain in my back!! I have been debating since 2013 to get a tummy tuck and today I scheduled for 2-5-16, so close. I am still kinda whirlwinded by this choice and feel slightly overwhelmed. I Just wanted to start a forum to let you all know how much your feedback and forum reviews help and inspire me. On days when nobody else besides God can understand me I find comfort in front of this screen. Keep me in your prayer and I will update this as time permits.

Congratulations on your amazing weightless! That couldn't have been easy - especially as a lover of food, and an eating addict! I love food, myself! I think I could easily GAIN 100lbs if I ate every time I wanted to! It takes great self-control and a lot of hard work at the gym to overcome! I'm happy for you that you'll be losing some excess skin! You're going to look great, and you deserve that! Good luck!

Thank you! It took a lot of work with God allowing him to mold abd shape me. Allowing him to heal what was broken inside instead if stuffing my emotions. I walk and hike almost everyday, imagine that I went from a jazzy scooter to hiking backpack within a year. Glory to God for making me whole!

Amen!! God always provides us exactly what we need! We just have to be open to receiving it! Keep up that great attitude!

Thank you! It's amazing what God has put deep inside of each of us! I never knew that I enjoyed hiking, canoing, jogging( sick I know) and lifting weights. It was always in me it just took me coming to God and letting him mold me into who I was intended.

New surgeon
I had originally planned to use the surgeon who did my breast reduction, however when I went for consultation I just did not feel good about the tummy using him. I am wise enough now to listen to God when he speaks to me. Anyways I got a consultation with dr Devlin, I feel good about using him, very much at peace. The price was 3500 different but one cannot consider money when it comes to peace of mind. I go in Monday the 8th( tomorrow) I will keep you ladies posted. So I did not use moffett and used Devlin instead.

3 days post op
Today was my 3 day post op. Dr said he removed 2 lbs of skin and no lipo was needed but major muscle repairs. Had the pain pump removed, belly cleaned and he propped me up straight. I am pleased with the results. I did tear my side stitches free a bit from thr violent vomit the night of surgery. I've not been doing much, teenage kids and mom do all our chores and I feel truly blessed. Was told I could go back to my bed to sleep on my side by I am loving this recliner.
