I have stalked pretty much every one who has had a tummy tuck and breast lift and figured it's time for me to finally leave a review, comment on others and discuss my own experience!! It's late and I've been off and on pain meds for days so I apologize if anything is confusing! I'll check this tomorrow and explain anything that doesn't make sense.
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I was 220 by 9th grade and it was hard. I ended up losing weight from the summer before 10th until senior year but not the right way. I starved myself and kept my carb intake under 20 for months. It was nice getting all those compliments and I weighed 155 by the time I graduated but I gained it all back and more after.
The college life....need I say more? Lol. I yoyo dieted, partied, smoked cigarettes and just lived this awful lifestyle from 18-24. By 2011, I had a desk job and weighed 276 pounds. Fed up with being obese and constantly out of breath from smoking, I decided to do weight watchers. I lost over 100 pounds with WW and doing Zumba but I just plateaued. I ended up eating clean and doing this workout which I love called buti yoga and I went from 176 to 145 doing that. My weight fluctuates and it was hard for me to stay at that weight so I would say my average weight now is 160.
I was so happy and proud of losing weight the right way over the course of 2 years but I had no idea I would have all this extra skin. People just don't understand how depressing it is to lose over 100 pounds and have this extra skin that no exercise or diet can fix. I've been somewhere between 145-160 the past 2 years and it's been so stressful living like this. My breasts also went from probably a size F or G (I don't even know) to a 36 D. That left them like deflated balloons and I just couldn't stand it. My breasts have always sagged, it's just a genetic misfortune but it became so much worse after the weight loss. Having a body like this has kept me from dating, being happy and just being content so I decided I would do whatever it takes to fix it no matter what the cost. I couldn't look at myself naked without feeling physically sick so there was no way I could imagine being in a relationship. It was different before I lost weight, I guess because there wasn't all this skin and craziness going on lol

Wow thank you!! I cried reading this, I worked hard to lose weight and it means the world to me when someone notices! The last 20 are the hardest, that is why I had to change my workout!!! It is so frustrating to be stuck at the same weight no matter what you do. But you CAN do it and I'll be right here congratulating you when you do :)

You look amazing! Just to clarify, this was a lift without implants? That is what I'm hoping for. I have lost over 100lbs and gone down from a 44F to a 34H. I like the size of my breasts but not the sag. It seems like every time I search for photos of lift without implants there aren't many out there.

Thank you, thank you!! And yes, this was a lift without implants. I really thought my breasts were a lot smaller before the lift so I debated implants for a long time. I'm glad I didn't get them because I think the amount of loose skin made them look smaller then they were. It seemed like every person who got lifts also got implants to me too! It was hard to gage everything without seeing pics with no implants. Congrats on your weight loss also and I wish you the best in your journey :)
I sincerely hope that you will post more after photos as your body heals from the surgery. I can't wait to see the new you, without bandages!! God Speed with your recovery!!
I'm looking forward to those photos and will keep you posted on my progress.
