26 Years Old, 1 Child (C-Section), 150+ LB Weight Loss - Indianapolis, IN

This is my first post for my review. I am scheduled on 3/1/16 for a full abdominoplasty. The CPT codes are 15830, 15947, and 15843. My surgery has been approved by insurance due to multiple issues that I have surrounding the skin. I always knew when I was losing weight that I would need this surgery. This is only the first in a serious of others including bra-line back lift, breast lift, and arm lift. I wanted to give a little back ground into me.
My starting weight was 395lbs at 6 foot tall. I had been over 300lbs for the most part since middle school. I started losing weight with changing my eating habits and exercising. It took me a year to lose 154lbs, and it was at that point I realized I was having issues with my skin. I realized I couldn't run the full half marathon distance, because my skin was touching my legs causing pain. I realized I couldn't get really deep into my squats, causing bad form and lack of progress. I went to my family doctor to inquire about the steps to help me. She referred me to a plastic surgeon with the local hospital. When I met Dr. Scott I knew she was the right choice for me. She listened to my needs and problems. She discussed my options, and informed me that the staff within the hospital would fight for me to get approved with insurance. Fortunately, I only had to wait 2 weeks for the approval before scheduling. I was concerned that I would not be approved by the doctor, because I still have approximately 50lbs to lose including the weight I will lose from the multiple excess skin removal surgeries. When the doctor did the examination, she basically told me I had done everything I could to fix my stomach. The skin would never go down. That was a huge relief, because I felt the same way. Hours of weight lifting and cardio weekly, and I had not lost an inch in my stomach in months.
For me, this is just the 3rd step in taking back my life from super morbid obesity. I started with nutrition, next came exercise. Now, my tummy tuck.
I am excited to see myself looking like a normal person. I am also realistic about results. I have a very scarred/stretch marked stomach. This surgery is about taking my life back.

Here are a few more picture of the extent of excess skin I have after losing more than 150lbs. At this point, I only have 10 days to go until my extended tummy tuck. Only 6 more work days.
I have purchased some after surgery comfortable clothes, because the last thing I wanted to do after losing weight was keep all my high weight clothes around. So I didn't even have hardly any baggy pajamas. I have purchased protein shakes to keep on hand, I drink those now some, but I figured it would be quick and easy protein after surgery. I also got some vitamin E for my scar. I know there are a lot of different products for scars, but I watched my grandpas 6 inch stapled neck scar and 18 inch chest to abdomen stapled scare disappear with vitamin E oil. So I'm going to stick with what I've seen work.
I just can't wait for the day.

I fee like I have entered the no sleep zone. All I can think about is my surgery and getting everything ready for my surgery.
I just can't even begin to imagine how much my life will change without this huge mass of skin and fat in front of me.
