So have had a long journey with weight loss over the last 20 yrs. Lost 120lbs with diet and exercise in 2006. Then gain 90lbs back.:( 2014 had gastric sleeve surgery. My heaviest weight was 330lbs now at 215lbs trying to get to 200lbs but just can't get there, height is 5'8. I am having a lower body lift with fleur-de-lis and a breast lift with 397cc moderate profile. My current band measurement is 38 cup size DDD. Stomach is 43 Hips at the fullest Point over my sagging belly is 53. I am really nervous about scares healing and being under for a 8 hr surgery.

Wishing you a smooth surgery and recovery! I lost just under 100, most of it was in my 20s, but had a handful of babies after that. I will have to do the tummy, boobs likely (unless I decide I am OK with saggy, still losing and not sure how much worse they'll get). Still wonder about my arms, I lift weights now and definitely have loose skin hanging. Not sure if it's worth those scars.

I am not too worried about the scars only my husband will see them as I will not be running around in a 2 piece anytime soon. I just worry about the healing of all the incisions. Thank you for the wishes of a smooth surgery and recovery!

I am certain it will be worth it, I agree with you on the body scars, for me here the upper arms are the issue, whether or not it's worth the scars. :/ Strength training to fill them out a little.

Right I did that the first time I lost weight back in 2007 and it did help my arms a lot. It really just depends I think on hope much extra skin u have.

You had all of that done at one time? Brave woman. Did they give you a healing time ?

I took 2 weeks off and worked from home for 2 weeks before returning to work full time.

Did your health insurance pay for the fleur-de-lis?
