WORTH IT

I consulted with Dr. Kortesis and he recommended the lower body lift without lipo- my surgery was scheduled for January 6th 2016 and I will be blogging my experience here! I lost 150lbs between 2008-2010 and have remained at a stable weight since then time. I will be continuing to workout and prepare for my surgery, and I am currently reading recovery reviews to get an idea of what to expect!

Well done on your weight loss.  That time will fly by so quickly.  Just one of the videos many of our members find helpful is what medications to avoid before surgery.  I'm looking forward to following your journey and thanks so much for sharing.

Hi there, you should be so proud for taking this step. You deserve it and I hope
goes well worth your surgery
I consulted with. Dr. Kortesis and put a down payment for my tummy tuck. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet but hope to do so on the next couple of months. I met in person with a couple of ladies who had these procedure done and they look amazing and speak wonders of Dr K. I can't wait to see your results. Be strong, it will all be worthy when you meet your Real Self
Good luck.

Less than two months Pre-Op!

So here we are, a little under six weeks until my pre-op appointment and less than two months before my surgery! January 6 is right around the corner and I'm getting more and more excited and anxious; some days I can't wait for it to get here and other days I'm literally wondering what the hell did I sign up for!

But in all seriousness, I have waited for this surgery for over 3 years and I know I will be so much happier when all this extra skin and loose fat is gone! I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic and my thoughts positive.

I am still actively working out and trying to maintain the best level of fitness I can to prepare for the big day- I'll post some before pictures as we get closer.

Thanks cacm!! I went to the beauty bash they just had, and I think I actually talked to you about my surgery- I've been following your profile and all your surgeries are so impressive, and they give me so much hope for my outcome, as I'm going to need every procedure you had except the smartlipo! I'm so excited to be working with Dr. Kortesis! Message me if that was you, I'd love to keep in touch more on RealSelf!

Me at my heaviest

Because I still look big, it's hard to remember where I came from. My heaviest was 358lbs, and honestly I may have been bigger because I was always afraid of getting on the scale. I am truly grateful that I lost as much as I did, and I can't wait to see what is underneath shell.
