So I have lost 120 lbs over the past 6 years. My high was 341. I am 5'8" but still considered obese. I finally went ahead and scheduled the consult with Dr Peters, and I have a date! I am so excited and nervous. I have never been able (as an adult) been able to buy clothes that fit me due to my spare tire.

7 Weeks to go!
I am obsessed with reading everyone who has experience with a LBL. I am very nervous. I have been eating really well and exercising to ensure I am as healthy as humanly possible on surgery day. Dr. Peters will be gone shortly after my surgery, so most follow ups may be with her associate. They called to let me reschedule for this reason, but I already arranged the time off work. Keep breathing.

I lost 140lbs by VLC diet, I spent 8 years pounding the treadmill and gym never to lose the spare tyre - 8 years later I have just done it LBL on the 2nd sept ... Spent the last 9 weeks on a terrified count down - not sure if I was more petrified or excited ..
I'm post op now 2weeks and honestly should have done it years ago
I give two pieces of advise
Pay for the best surgeon close enough for aftercare
Be physically fit with strong muscles from Gym excersises - be in the best condition with a high protein diet
For me so far - no problems - no pain
Just numbness and swelling but that's it
Do it again in a heartbeat
Good look

I agree. I lost 80 lbs and had a ring of fat that would not go away, front and back. Also still considered obese by BMI - but. At like 28 instead of former 45. Am 10 weeks out from my LBL and, while a few days sucked, am terribly happy I did this. Good luck!

Thanks! I am glad I am doing this and still terrified. I can't believe it is happening. I really want this Dr, as she is listed as the best for this type of procedure.

Getting closer
Well, pre-op is in two weeks. I have been writing all my questions down so I don't forget anything. I feel like I exercise and eat right and the scale won't move. Meanwhile, I have arranged my time off work, changed my schedule for the kiddos, etc, for the weeks after surgery. Getting close. I am going to take some more "before" pics and measurements soon.

I'm going in for a LBL on Tuesday, 27 Sept. Very nervous but excited. Doing brachioplasty at same time.

Hi. Now almost two weeks post op. Very swollen and bruised still. And very sore. But results already spectacular and pain well managed with meds.
