I am less than 24 hrs away from saying goodbye to a kangaroo pouch and sagging boobs it seems like I've had for a lifetime. This forum has been invaluable in helping me come to my decision. I've never been so nervous and excited all at once! I look forward to sharing an update as soon as I can on the flat side:-)
I've lost 127 lbs, and mycurrent height is 5'4, 200 lbs, and I'm having a circumferential tummy tuck with fleur de lis, mons lift, bbl, bl/ba, liposuction

Made it to the flat side:-)

So thankful and grateful to have made it successfully to the flat side!! I will not lie, with all my research, I was not prepared for the pain coming out of surgery. I ended up staying an extra night and came home yesterday. So I guess today I'd day 4, and I get a little stronger everyday.
My lifesavers have been the beautiful sunlight from the spring weather, my medical recliner, the toilet seat raise, some organizers to keep neary chair, and most of all, the support and love from my family and friends. My colleagues sent me this gorgeous arrangement, and it was waiting for me when I arrived home from the hospital.
Swelling is NO JOKE, and these first couple photos are crappy, but I can see such a HUGE difference, and am very encouraged about how my results will turn out.
I go back to see Dr Lalla on Thursday, so will try to post another update then:-)

Congratulations, can't wait for an update. Just wondering since I'm currently working out myself and will probably have to get loose skin surgery, how long did it take for you to lose the 100 lbs ?

Thanks for your question! It took me about 18 months, slow and steady. I love to eat good healthy wholesome foods, and also fell in love with working out, mostly HIIT type strength and cardio, kickboxing and spinning. Hope this helps:-)

Must say, the first two to three days were the toughest, in terms of pain. This whole process is certainly not for the faint of heart. But it gets a little better each day, and I'm able to do more for myself as well.
Had my first post op visit today, and Dr a Lalla says I'm doing great. He removed one of four drains, and I'm ok with that. My body is prone to inflammation, so didn't want to rush that. I'll go back next week to possibly remove the others.
I had my first BM in Tuesday, which was my much of anything, but did much better yesterday, which provides some relief. The worst thing right now is swell hell and the WORSDT itching ever. The doc thinks it may be a reaction to the antibiotic, so he changed up my mess, and I'm gonna take a little Benadryl also.
Otherwise, I'm so encouraged with my progress so far, I'm developing a shape and contour I never had, and is what I really wanted. Even with all the swelling, I'm miving in the righties toon.
Will share more pics when the rest of these pesky drains come out. Stay strong ladies????????????????

Thanks so much, what a blessing to be here now. I followed yours and so many other reviews for months, but it's totally different to finally experience for yourself:-)

You look amazing! Dr.. Did a fantastic job... What did they do to get rid of the back bra fat? That's my next procedure. IAM thinking for my they will do lipo then cut off extra fat and skin then re attach.

Hi! Some Lipo was done to my flanks and back, and it's much better, but I still have some loose back skin, and also bat wings on my arms. I'm looking at arm and back lift as my next procedures possibly. Thanks!!
