WORTH IT$5,600
I would like to start off by thanking everyone for sharing their stories. I have lurked on here for almost a year. I have learnt SO much from all of you!
Now that my day is approaching, I thought I would share my journey. I am 45 years old with two children. I have struggled with my weight since my late teens. 2 years ago, I finally decided to make myself a priority. I started clean eating and working out. I have to say that I am in the best shape I've ever been in. Lol. Anyways, with the 100 + pounds weight loss I am stuck with a deflated tire around my abdomen as well as what I call my "fluff" above my belly button. Also, I have dealt with asymmetric breasts since a young teenager and breast feeding and weight loss certainly haven't helped.
I decided to finally reward myself for all my hard work! I will be having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair as well as a breast lift. My surgery date is quickly approaching and I am nervous as well as excited to kiss my deflated tire and asymmetric breast goodbye.
Hope to hear from you and get support and encouragement for what I am about to face.
Pics will be uploaded soon!

I am 13 days away from surgery and am starting to stress out and panic. I feel I am not prepared in the least. Thank goodness my pre-op is this Monday as I feel I will know more of what is needed to prepare myself.
It is NOT easy attaching these photos but it can only get better, right?

Oh my goodness, I did it count the days properly. Now that I'm getting closer, it's so great to see the updates of people who've just completed theirs so seeing yours would be great. My surgery is June 9th.

Good morning. Thank you so much. I am doing well. Came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and have been sleeping on and off since. Pain is quite manageable.

Good morning. I'm glad to hear that you're home and doing well. Manageable pain is reassuring too. Get your much deserved rest hon and congratulations on finishing your procedure.
Congratulations on your weight loss, that is very impressive. It will also be really helpful for your post-op recovery to be in shape and healthy. I hope you'll find everything you need here to feel ready and supported on your journey.
