WORTH IT
I started out at 430lbs and got down to 170lbs size 10/12. Post surgery I didn't change pant size (swollen!) but over the next few months swelling went down. I waited to week 10 to start hot yoga back up but put it on hold till week 12. I went back to my normal work out routine and by my 6 month check up I was tone and down to a size 4/6.
This procedure is intense. Was so lucky that my mom could come up and stay with me for 10 days post-op... it's not pretty during the healing process but now my body looks the way it is suppose to; my hard work is visually realized.
Scars: In my head I said I was ok with scars. Even if they ended up bumpy and noticeable. No surgeries are perfect and I accepted the risks that even Dr Peters can't control to remove these skin aprons as they affected my life personally and professionally. I was so blessed. the scars are flesh with my skin and fading fast.

Wow, that is amazing, congratulations! Can you share a few pics? Love to see how great you look!
What was the healing process like? Would you say you were able to get back to your routine at week 12 like driving, etc.?
