Thank you for your update this dr is moving more towards top of the list I like his results from what I've seen. You have listed that it was around 14k for the surgery is that correct?

Before and after weight loss for perspective

JourneyContinued
I never shared my before and after picture of my weight loss.
For me a lifestyle change with diet and exercise allowed me to take control of me and start living the life I believe I was meant to live instead of hiding in the shadows due to my weight.

I love inspiring others to BELIEVE they can loose weight and now inspiring others to know they can undergo this surgery if they choose and come out on the other side just fine - lol

Sorry so long between updates. In between last update and today I had my arms lift completed and have been recovering from that. (I will create a separate review soon I hope)

Anyway I feel great. About 3 months out from the 360. I still have to deal with my thighs swelling. Super annoying. Some pants I still cannnot wear that I did before surgery due to the swelling and that makes me sad but apparently this is part of the process (that and because I went under anesthesia again that caused some backward swelling if that makes sense). Anyway I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I have a waist. I don’t have to hid my making my shirts puffy where I tuck in. I tuck in right cause my belly is flat. Lol.

You really look fantastic! I can't wait to wear cute panties but afraid I'm have to wait until after the thigh lift. I'm so tired of panties not fitting correctly, dragging down with the excess skin extra. It must feel great while shopping now, being able to buy cute things and have them fit well too! Congratulations!

Aww thanks Pattibe

I think we are always our own worst critics as I read your comment and the first thing I say to myself is "my thighs are horrible" lol -- but then I remind myself - I have the surgery's for me not for others -- I feel Awesome - lol -- And then I look back and see and absorb your first line - "You really look fantastic" -- SO THANK YOU and be confident to the core as I am sure you too are way harder on yourself than need be -- go be you - go be great
