I am 46, within 10lbs of goal weight and done having kids. Despite regular exercise, I have this loose extra bulge of skin that I want gone! I have some muscle separation, so I've decided (after my consul with doctor) to have a full TT with flank lipo. I'm going to keep you posted along my journey! Hope my story helps!

Well ladies, I'm 24 hours out- can you say nervous?? :) I know I'm nervous as I've been waaay too chatty... thankfully no one has told me to ' zip it' yet. Had pre op pics yesterday. Getting naked for photographer?? Now THAT was scary..I felt like a naughty D list actress haha... anyway would love to hear about your nerves pre surgery. Here are last two before pics... talk to you again on the flat side!!

36 hours post op- first off, thank you for all of the well wishes..you ladies helped me through this tremendously! Thank God for pain meds!!!! I am pretty sore when they wear off and my back is pretty sore from the flank lipo. But I did take a peek down there and WOW, the bulge is gone!!!! I'll post more pics tomorrow. They are on my other phone and it takes me so long to get up! I'm patiently (trying) waiting for the hardcore pain to subside
