ORIGINAL POST
I am 36 years old. I have a 14 year old daughter....
WORTH IT$8,400
I am 36 years old. I have a 14 year old daughter. I have been overweight most of my life. I gained over 60 additional pounds with my pregnancy. In December of 1997 I weighed 228lb. I woke up one day and was determined to change my life. I was sick and tierd of being over weight and the depression that comes with it. Determined to change I lost 75lb within a year and eventually worked my way down to being 140lb. I have kept it all off for over 13 years. I am very active and have been going to the gym consistantly. Of course I realize there leaves no other option to get rid of this skin but surgery. I am also going to have some contouring of the flanks, and outer thighs. I had a breast lift and implants last september. I'm excited to have found this site. It really helps to read all of your stories to be prepared for what is to come. As exciting as it is, I am also very nervous.

I bought some comfy jammies yesterday with recovery in mind. Any suggestions on what type to wear for the most comfort?Updated on 22 Dec 2011:My surgery is 4 weeks away!! I am having a very hard time concentrating on Christmas. I'm a hair stylist and holiday times are my very busiest. I'm kinda looking forward to some down time. I'm still VERY anxious! It really is a roller coaster of feelings.

Probably PJs that open in the front for easy access to your drains, etc.

Well...I have 22 days to go. I am becoming less anxious and more excited...I think, or at least that is how I feel today. I just wish the time would pass faster. I can't wait to be on the other side!

I also work in the salon industry as a manicurist. I am interested in how Long you are planning to take off work? I am most concerned how to tell my clients..and how long to be off for!

Hi coliecole!
As a manicurist I would think it may be a little easier for you since you are sitting.You may be able to handle going back in 2 weeks. Hard to say. I am taking 18 days off. When I do return I am going to space my clients out so I have good breaks between each one. I told my clients that I was having hernia and muscle repair surgery. It has been because of my business and my fear of what my clients would think that has kept me from doing this much sooner. I have just reached a point where it is time to live for me. I'm hoping for the best for you. When is your surgery?

So excited to see your before photos!!! From the looks of it you're at a great body weight and you're going to LOVE the change you will see post TT!!! I'm so excited for you!!! And as far as I can tell... I think you'll be good for your two hr days at two weeks! I have no pain at all... I do get tired standing for more than an hour! Can you use a stool for some extended standing?
