I've finally booked a tummy tuck! It's something I've been wanting to do for years but have never had the courage to pull the trigger and sign on the dotted line, but it's happening in 10 weeks time and I have an equal mixture of fear and excitement!
I'm a 6ft 4in British guy who used to weigh over 350lbs and over the course of one to two years I’ve managed to lose roughly 140lbs via diet and exercise, now the lifestyle I lead keeps my weight steady, and I’m growing by 1lb or so per month in muscle mass as opposed to fat.
I lost the fat over the course of two to three years, I started off my fat loss by cycling which worked brilliantly in terms of getting the numbers on the scales to go down, however it wasn't really leaving me with the body shape or type I wanted, only the gym would do that. I've been going to the gym for the past 18 months and have finally started to develop a physique which I am proud of when it's hidden under clothes, however I've never been happy with my tummy due to the loose skin.
The reason I have a mixture of fear and excitement about the tummy tuck procedure is because you can't be sure of the results you're going to get - I've seen some post-surgery pics via this site where I wouldn't be happy with the final result if it was me and others where the results seem nothing short of phenomenal! I think a lot of that is down to how much excess fat the patient is carrying before the surgery, and as such I’m using my final 10 weeks prior to surgery to try and drop as much remaining fat as I possibly can, I’m hoping to be 5-8lbs lighter than I currently am now before I go under the knife.
I'm lucky in the sense that I didn't ever deposit my fat in my chest too much so even after a 140lb weight loss my chest doesn't need any work, my thighs are fine also in the areas which you would see whilst wearing swimming trunks or boxer briefs, just the very upper thigh is a little loose, as is my mons pubis but this should be addressed in the surgery.
The one thing I hope to gain is the confidence to take my shirt off at the beach or pool, something which I’ve been against doing for the past 15 years of my life.

5 Weeks out!
JonnybcSeptember 13, 2016
So we're now 5 weeks out, I've been hitting the gym hard and regularly, my weight is staying fairly consistent but I am leaning out it feels like. I've attached a few pics which are up to date and when I'm weighing roughly 218lbs, 15st 8 or 99kg - whichever works best for you!
I'm going to start concentrating on dropping fat rather than just getting stronger from 4 weeks out, I anticpate I'll be able to lose 10lbs in this time due to my experience in losing fat when I want to!

4 Weeks today!
JonnybcSeptember 20, 2016
4 weeks today until I hopefully have a body which I'm proud of! I've booked my pre surgery tests with Mr Percivals nurse, these will be taking place on 3rd October and I want to get another consultation with Mr Percival prior to the surgery to ask whether he thinks I would benefit from having flank liposuction whilst undergoing the tummy tuck - I want to be as close to perfect as I can be!
