At 17 I weighed 13stone 12lbs (184lbs). Almost 4 stone more than i do now. I woke up one and hated what i saw, after 4 months of hard work, excercise and diet i managed to shifts 2 and a half stone!! Unfortunately i wasnt educated on weight and lost it too fast without targeted toning and have lost elasticity in my stomach :-(! Since i have lost another 1stone 8lbs and feel at a happy weight! I love working out (almost addicted) and watch what i eat always!! Aimeekirbs (Instagram) i look in 'great shape' as i always hear but under clothes i look horrible :( ive tried everything and it affects myself and confidence so much!!! Hearing people say 'aw you dont need that' 'theres nothing on you' it like calling me fat! It hurts the same! Its so frustrating i just cant wait to lift the weight off my shoulders and be proud of my body! Ive thought about a tuck for so long but i am now finally in a place where i can support myself financially and cannot wait!!!!

Hi there good 5uck with your tt. It is totally normal, what you are feeling pre op.
I had a 360 tt last sept. And 6 weeks ago had bilateral arm and thigh lift.
Like you i lost a lot of weight, 7 stone 5 lb, which left a lot of loose skin.
Get ready to feel tired and unable to do much for several weeks, but it will get better. Have a positive feeling about the end results, this helps with healing and be up and out oed bed as soon as you can, this also helps how quickly you recover.
Good luck and god bless and i look forward to fopward to hearing how you are doing

Hi jean thankyou for your response! Glad i wasnt alone with my anxiety. I was really worried i still cant believe ive had it and its over with... Just the road to recovery now! Thanks for your advice. I was up within a few hours walking to and from the bathroom and by the next morning i managed to walk alone. Though that said i am taking it easy using the advice off the nurses and Dr:)! Im feeling the tiredness already. Sickness only lasted a day or so and today im back to my usual eating habits (quite sad about this) id much rather be off my food so i dont pile on the weight) but its good to keep myself fuelled! And a huge well done on your weightloss that's fantastic you should be very proud!!

All checked in and waiting
So i arranged at St Hughs at 10:00am. Had all the usual checks done, blood pressure, questionnaire and temp! Saw my surgeon Dr.Diaz and his assistant surgeon, he talked me through my surgery and eased my nerves slightly... Although i am still terrified!! He drew on me in marker to mark the areas of my body that need working on and removing!!!:-D just waiting now for my nurse and anaesthetist to come see me. Then...
I can bombard him with all my prepped questions and worries. So nervous still i cant explain, i never thought i would be this nervous...but the excitement is high which seems to be counteracting my anxiety and keeping me from running a mile!!
