Looking good...so glad you are all healed up now...I am 3 weeks from having the longest thigh lift (leg lift) ever...Had so much excess skin I needed to have it cut into my calves. My surgeon did a new tech. he had just learned in Europe where they don't do drains and so to my surprise I woke with no drains and no issues...This was a first for me no openings whatsoever... I would love to see your scars for the long thigh lift now so I know what to expect...

Almost three months po (pics)

I can't believe it's been almost three months. I'm back at full speed with no restrictions. Just a few weeks ago the swelling in my right knee was reduced enough that I could squat comfortably. It hasn't been visibly swollen in quite some time, but I couldn't put pressure on my knee in a squat position. If I could have done anything differently I would have asked the surgeon to go a bit past my knee, but I knew I would have a skin pucker regardless.
My scars don't bother me, but I am more aware of them than I expected to be. I wasn't concerned about the scars at all and I feel so much more confident, but I can tell when someone notices them for the first time. Of course, that doesn't even compare to how much I was overlooked and ignored or stared at when I was 300 lbs. I much prefer skinny me with fading scars ... Hands down!!! I've included a number of pictures, too. Until later!!

You are looking awesome Tande!!! My scar kinda curves past my knee and towards it a bit but it's hard to see! I know what you mean about people noticing scars but with becoming skinny I have become tougher so I just stare people down and dare them to ask me about my scars:). Not gonna start wear sleeves and long dresses now!!

Thanks! Good for you! It's amazing the confidence I've found with weight loss. I feel like a new person. I've been wanting to get a tattoo of cherry blossoms for a while now to signify new beginnings. I got it today as an early birthday present and I absolutely love it. I also got a sexy little heart right above my bikini line in the inside of my hip. Frankly the scars bother me a lot less than my elephant skin did. I have one small procedure coming up on June 14th. After my LBL my mons was so much better, but the thigh lift left things looking perma swollen. My surgeon is doing a small in office procedure in a few weeks to tighten things up. Hopefully it goes well. I'll be out of work one afternoon and back at it the next day. How are you feeling overall?

I will be thinking of you on the day of your procedure!! I knew it was coming up in June!! I am jealous of your tattoos! I'm getting one on my right arm that will look like 2 bracelets and one will be a saying "never let fear decide your fate". That became my motto when I started my weightloss journey! I'm feeling frustrated! I know you understand! I am only 2 weeks out but want to feel normal again already! But this time around I am bouncing back quicker! But I am forcing myself to stay low key, want no complications from my incisions! My right knee was worrying the doctor but I have iced it all this week and it looks good. It's just a bit hard to the touch and stiff. Still it was all worth it because my legs are so nice looking now! Wish I could show them off but this darn compression garment shows in all my cute short dresses!:(

Thanks! It'll come! I went without compression for a few hours for the first time on Easter Sunday and still wore compression for a week after that twenty hours a day. Can't wait to see the new tattoo!

So now that three months have passed... how was getting your arms and thighs done at the same time? I'm getting mine done together in October and i'm trying to prepare for the good, bad and ugly. Many of us can relate to being invisible and it's nice when people not only notice you, they do a double-take. i smile to myself and keep walking.

At the same time was really rough. Pain-wise it was doable because my arms really didn't hurt. More like goosebumps on a sunburn. Not great, not the most pain I've ever been in. It was tough because I couldn't use my arms to support myself and couldn't compensate with my legs. If you do both plan to have help for everything for the first four days. I was able to bathroom by myself and stand at the kitchen bar to eat, but couldn't move my arm to my mouth. I needed help getting in and out bed. That being said. If do it the same way again since it saved me time off work and money to do the procedures together. Good luck! Are you so excited?
