After finishing with several consultations I have chosen a doctor and committed to a surgery date. I am both excited and terrified if I'm being truly honest, but can't imagine not doing this. I am curious for inside and opinions about things to have on hand helpful tips for recovery etc. I will update as I go along I am finding it so helpful to read other people's experiences and want to offer the same.

Taking a big deep breath and adding my before pictures. I am 2.5 months out from a LBL and a breat reduction and lift. I will happily take any and all tips and tricks. Looking forward to the day when I have after photos to share.

you're story has come into my feed. Whilst this is one of the few issues I don't have, I just want to say how much I admire your braveness in showing your photos and I hope you get the body you deserve:)

I'm about 6 weeks before my surgery. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Thank for the note. Excited to follow your journey. I am maintaining a 90 lb loss.

That is awesome! It feels so good to have the excess weight gone. I can't wait to see what it's like to lose the skin too!

Your before pictures look so similar to mine! I just wanted to wish you luck on your journey, and let you know it will all be worth it in the end...I know you will LOVE your after body!!!

Thank you for posting. Your pictures are amazing! It is inspiring to hear from people who are on the other side. Any advice would be welcome?

Thanks a million, 3 years out and I still give thanks daily! Just a few tips I can think of: Trust your physician and adhere to his advice, set realistic expectations, don't compare your results and recovery to anyone else, it is your own journey and your progress will be unique to you. Also, try to get in your best shape possible prior to surgery, nourish your body, increase your protein intake, and if exercise is part of your life, try to increase your strength, especially your core, it will make a big difference in your recovery.....

Hi, I live in the Pacific Northwest as well and will be getting a circumferential tummy tuck probably about the same time as you. I also had WLS to loose all the excess weight and have maintained it for a year now. I am just researching all and any info I can find to help me along the way. Along with this site I also found a plastic surgery support group on Facebook and that has been a wealth of information as well. We can never have TOO much information going into something like this. :)

Feel free to pm me - we can chat more there! What's the facebooks group you found?

So sorry for the crazy delay in responding. I didn't see this until right now. I went with Dr. Egrari

About six weeks away now. Got my preop blood work done this week and beginning to make a list of things I will need/want after surgery. Suggestions welcome. Planning to rent a lift recliner for sure. Took some more before pictures. Lots of anticipation here.
