30, No Kids, Circumferential Abdominoplasty & Thigh Lift After 110lb Weight Loss - Melbourne, AU

After maintaining 50kg weight loss through diet and exercise since 2013-14 decided I couldn't get the body I wanted with just that alone due to excess skin from being overweight my whole life. My skin is not nearly as bad as what I have seen on this site so I do feel lucky that because I've got quite a solid build a lot of my weight is carried in bones and muscle which I would never haves realised until I went through my weight loss experience, everyone is different & Ill never be that petite and that's ok.

Surgery is December 8th & excited for the next step!!

What I can't get rid of..

Currently sitting in my hospital with all sorts of tubes and things coming out of me, my operation was yesterday, went from 8am-2:15pm, have 4 draining tubes, 2 on each side of hips, a pain buster which is releasing pain relief directly to my stomach area. I also have circulation leg wrap on my calves with the none movement, having a catheter in has been a godsend! Not having to worry about peeing is amazing!

First day post op I'm feeling very tight, for obvious reasons, have a little difficulty taking full breathes but other wise the doctor is very pleased with how it all went and how I'm going.

In total I had about 7kgs/15lbs of skin which is pretty incredible ????????

Ok I'll leave it there and update when I've gotten
out of my bed and I'll post some photos.
