I lost 115 pounds from 2009-2012 through Weight Watchers and exercise. Although I would love to lose another 15 or so pounds, I've been at the same weight for a little over 2 years now and have realized that my stomach and arms will still have some loose skin, despite working out regularly for the past 6 years. My surgery is scheduled for April 1 so that I can have it during a slower time at work. I'm hoping to only take off 2 weeks but will take more if necessary. Very excited for April to get here!

Good for you on the weight loss! April will be here before you know it. I decided I was getting a TT around July or August, and my date is just a little over a month away... time has flown by :) Good luck! This site is a wonderful source of 'real life' experience and information.

2 months pre

A few pictures; possibly moving surgery up by a month

I took a bunch of pictures this weekend to serve as some "before" pics. I'm not sure if I'm ready to post my mostly unclothed pictures yet because the surgery is still a few months away, so it's harder to get excited about sharing them until I have something to compare to. But, I'll probably post them as the date gets closer. For now- here is a pre-weight loss picture from January 2009 at my highest weight ever, and pictures at my current weight, 115 pounds lighter.

I'm also thinking about moving my surgery up to late February/early March. I may have to cancel a trip to Phoenix at the end of January and I had been trying to put some time in between that trip and my surgery to make work/time off a little less crazy. If I cancel the trip and they can get me in sooner, I will likely do that. Will update soon!

15 days pre

16 days away, and finally some before pics...

I can't believe surgery is 2 weeks from Wednesday. I started considering this surgery last August and began my consultations in October, and I can't believe it's finally almost here! I am not nervous at all right now, just very excited and ready for it to get here already.

I'm finally including some unclothed "before" pics. I tried cropping my face out of my previous pics (pre and post weight loss pics, clothed) but couldn't get it to work so I ended up removing them. I will definitely update with post-surgery pics as soon as I am able to.

I'm obviously not thrilled with my body, hence why I am having the surgery. But, I've been trying to avoid saying anything too negative about it now or in my before pics because it's still my body and all things considered it could be worse given the years of dieting and weight loss, gains, etc. That said, still excited for some impressive improvements following surgery! Very excited to be in the homestretch.

I hit post too soon. Sorry. After 7 years I'm still extremely happy with my tummy tuck results. He did my breast augmentation last week and I'm just as happy so far! If you have any questions, please feel free to teach out to me!
