Hi, my experience almost mirrors your journey. Congratulations on the weight loss, it shows the focus and dedication required to mount this challenge. I arrived home from Hospital this afternoon after having my 'boobs' removed and skin tightened. I had the Tummy Tuck 5mths ago and like you, the change is insane and mentally will take time to comprehend. Read my review. Well done, it really is a life changing event.

I'm really sorry to say this but I am really concerned by your results, you look as if you have been butchered. I would not be happy with the result you are left with! Has your doctor seen the result?
I dont know if your poor result is because your surgeon operated on you when you were still such a high weight (220lbs) with a body fat of 30% +. You should have dropped another 40-50lbs before considering surgery.
Please if you can update this profile with your doctors feedback on his work, I do not believe he could ever be satisfied with these reults
I'm sorry for my negativity, Lastly well done for loosing the initial 110lbs

Day 6-20

So much happens after the first week, it gets so much easier. By day 8 or 9 I could begin to shower every day without it being so much of a misery.
On 12/29 (Day 13) i got my right tube out. it was simply sutured to me, and once that was cut it slid right out without any pain as others sometimes talk about. The left tube was left in for four more days to make sure no chance of Seroma (removed 1/2 - Day 17) once the tubes are out, it is an unbelievable freedom feeling, you can shower move without being attached to a cord, always fearful of getting it stuck on a door or chair and ripping things out (maybe just my personal nightmare at the time)
Went through all of the emotions after this surgery and it wasn't really until day 19-20 when i could shower and not need to redress wounds or deal with tubes that I began to see how great it was to have this surgery. Looking at the before and after photos, it's just insane the difference... and all my measurements on waist and chest went up! What makes it great is I know the swelling will go down, the wounds will patch up and it will only get better every day!
So if you're thinking about it, do it. Understand if you are anything like me you'll hate the experience and regret everything until about day 19-20 when you have freedom and can see the difference. then it all becomes worth it, and the times you nearly fainted and struggled to stand upright will seem like a distant memory
