WORTH IT$6,990
I have been debating this surgery for so many years. I am 41 yo, no children, married. I lost a significant amount of weight in my early twenties and have worked hard to maintain a trim figure. This dang flap of skin would go nowhere! Although I was very happy with being much healthier, it depressed me when I'd look at myself naked because instead of seeing any hard work or progress I had made I'd only see this mess of skin and stretch marks covering it up. I finally did it and all I can say is YES!!!!! I had the very best doctor and I don't regret my decision in choosing him one bit. He is very kind, patient, personable and accommodating! He's awesome!!

Initially the pain was terrible but my pain meds did help a lot. Just staying on top of my pain was what made a difference. Before I knew it, it became more a discomfort than pain and at this pious now, I feel almost 100%! I originally took two weeks off from work but changed it to four. Fore, two weeks just was not enough and I wanted the best possible results.

Wow, that looks like a size zero waist, it's beautiful. It's like you are not even swelling.

Wow thank you very much. After reading so many stories on rs I truly expected the worse swelling wise. I am now officially 6 weeks post op (yay!) and I've had minimal swelling. I wore my binder for the first two weeks then switched to a simple waist shape wear I bought from Walmart. I don't know if not having drains made a huge difference...I'd like to think it did. I am very happy with results so far. I have definitely noticed being a bit more swollen after eating a high sodium meal but hey, life's too short not to enjoy food still right?:)

Congratulations, your body looks amazing! What a great shape, seems like all your hard work, being active, is now, fulling showing. I have the exact same problem (and age), loose skin, and i'm considering the surgery for the beginning of the next year. Can you please post updated pics? Thanks.

6 months post op
It's been a while and so much has happened. I am not experiencing some swelling, in my lower abdomen, above my incision line but my mons is also so swollen! It started at about 5 1/2 months post op. I have not been at my best with my diet and exercise and I'm thinking that may be the entire cause but I don't know. I'm eating better and exercising hard once again, hopefully that will give me some good results. What do all of you think?
