I am going to the flat side day after tomorrow. I weigh 222 lbs. I lost 90 lbs 13 yrs ago and have been at this weight since. I know I have more to lose but I'm so sick of this tummy. I will be having an extended tummy tuck and arm lift. I will have breast lift later this year. My dr has said he will prob not do MR repair on me. Also likely no Lipo. I respect him and know he will do what he can to give me the best results. I wanted to post my pics and will do after also just because of the lack of plus size pics. We are all combing this sight for some clue of our end result. I hope this helps! Keep me in your thoughts on Monday!!

Good luck to you tomorrow. I will follow closely as I am interested in doing both procedures at the same time as well and wonder how the recovery will be. All the best to you.

Everything went fine today. No troubles. I'm in a lot of pain. Arms mostly. I didn't the the arms were going to be the worse part. I was sure the tummy would (that's no picnic either). Off to rest again. Should be able to see my results at the dr tomorrow! He took 12 lbs of skin on my tummy. Removes a lot of fat from my arms.

My thoughts for a speedy recovery! Thanks for posting your journey. Not many plus size tummy tucks even though many of us qualify and want such. You're courageous to share with us!

Up from my 3 day coma.

I have been in a drug induced coma the last few days. Today is a little better. My arms are still the worse. It so funny that I wasn't even worried about the arm pain. I have a nerve pain that shoots down into my right forearm that makes me see stars. While putting on my cg on my arms I have a 5 min mental breakdown. Ugly cry and all. I called dr today. They gave me options and I am going in Monday so they can decide what to do. Hopefully a different garment. My tummy looks nice. My hubby said its lop sided. Thanks Hun. I know that's normal though. No bm yet. My mom is a nurse is one day away from holding me down and giving a suppository. I keep one eye open when I sleep. I'll try to get picks tonight. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. It's nice to have people that are going through the same thing.

Hang in there My Girl! Everyday will get better! I would have thought the TT would be the worse pain!
You look great! I can't wait for our swelling to go down!
March 5, 2016
Me too!!! my tt pain is totally manageable. My dr called me in specific nerve pain meds. Hopefully that helps. Still glad I did this just gotta get through the rough patch.
