Having been very active in my youth-- with competitive sports --swimming was always my first love, and running came in second. When I married and started a family all my activities halted., I was 118 lbs after the birth of my first child in my early 20's , by my second child 6 yrs later, my weight was 160 lbs- at 5 ft 2 in. Through the years I reached an all time high weight of 234lbs. In 2013. , I had a health scare, and turned my life around-- went on GF and anti-inflammatory diet and, as the weight came off, I got back to the sports I love-- competitive swimming-- joined a MAsters swim team and Senior swim team. I joined a gym, got a personal trainer , in 1yr I qualified in 5 events swimming for National Senior Olympics July 2015! I did my first triathelon and came in first in my age group! And lost 103 lbs during he course of my 18 months of dieting and training-- the most amazing surprise is the incredible energy I have!! I haven't felt this full of life in 3 decades!!
Now time for the new body to go with the new me!! My Body Lift is scheduled for Jan 5, 2015. I'm so glad I have this site to refer to and to know what to expect. I've spent hours reading everyone's experiences. I've been a peri operative nurse for almost 40 yrs, yet there's so much I've discovered about my procedure(s), regarding what to expect post op.
I'm 6 wks post op blepharoplasty and mastopexy, and I praise my masterful plastic surgeon, Dr Pravin Puri-- every time I look in a mirror! I'm excited to be done with "phase 2" of he new me.
I've posted the " before pictures" of what 103 lbs of loose skin looks like:

Please tell us what town/state you are in and the cost you are having to pay. I understand that the cost varies from region to region and I just had gastric bypass & need to start saving for this particular surgery that I know I will need in about 18 months.
