Thank you very much, I worked very hard in the gym to accomplish my goal. ...

Thanks. .Thank I've been having a smooth run so far. I've been back in the gym walking on treadmill as much as I want, my doctor cleared me after taking both tubes out on day 6.HOPEFULLY I WON'T EXPERIENCE THE ITCHING I'M ON DAY 14 and my cut is already starting to fade. I'm praying for you a speedy and comfortable recovery.

Just to let you know you look amazing. ...keep up the good work.

I'm sorry I meant to tell to get you a jar of Aquaphor from walmart it's about $15.00.I've been using it for years it's even good for eczema.

Thanks, I am going to start walking next week, I had my breast and tummy done. I'm so ready for the swelling to be gone. Ur tummy seems much flatter so soon

Take your time follow your body, listen to what it tells you, everyone's body reacts differently. You'll be just fine.

I hope so. Thanks

The doctor took some of me....I did too but I deleted them from my phone. I go back to my PS in 2wks, I'll ask him for a copy. I've been so excited about my results I keep forgetting to ask how much the skin weighed that he removed. .

No I only got a panniculectomy and my navel had to be moved up because it had dropped down to where the pannis was being removed.

Thank you so much. ..and I wish you a great and speedy recovery. .you will be just fine. ...

Thank You so much. ..and it was it takes a lot of dedication and hard work. It's a part of life tho. I'm determined to live as healthy as I can. We can't prevent some illness but we can do our part to help cut down on them...people must realize looks are nothing without good health. ...My books are large but it's nothing a good bra can't handle, that's my breast lift....LOL....WE as women must learn to Love ourselves. I totally agree with the comment you made to the other young lady.

Thank you, I may have had it some where under there ,but yes I had to work very hard twice to find it.....LOL Just to let you know I was always the fat girl in school with the pretty face, at least that's what they called me. I hated going to school, I don't know if they realized but it didn't make feel any better. I didn't know it was there until 1996. Had to find it back after menapause at least I didn't have to start from 326lbs again. ....YOU will be just fineLLtd. Go and let God. ...

I have always been the fat girl with a pretty face too! I actually had gastric back in 2000 with my highest measured weight seen at 489 lbs. I am sure I was over 500 lbs at one point because scales back then couldn't weigh me. I got down to a low of 303 lbs but fluctuated up and down within about a 20 lb variance. After a hysterectomy in 2012 I jumped back up to 365 and as much as I tried to exercise I just couldn't. I walk or ride my exercise bike and my thigh hits the gut and causes more pain. It took a year to be diagnosed with a hernia and it has been a year of trying to get a hernia repair with the panni. Sores. rashes, hernia....yes insurance will cover...but the small town hospital was not experienced insurance wise for the plastics side of it. They referred me to the nearest larger city (st paul mn) and finally here I go! At 5'8" i am still very very large (current 339...hoping to loose another 9 lbs by surgery date) ...but in High school being physically active (jogged, played tennis, basketball, softball, broomball) I was 220 lbs. So I would love to get back to about 250 lbs and go from there.

I'm glad you're going to get the relief yo

Thank very much. .
