It's been almost seven years since surgery.  Here are some maintenance photos. 

I have struggled the last four years with my loose skin. I have seen two plastic surgeons and just couldn't decide if I was willing to spend almost $40,000 on plastic surgery. I have ALWAYS had low self esteem and I still do. Losing over 100 pounds was not the miracle cure I thought it would be. In fact, it has made me even more guarded. My husband asked me if plastic surgery would buy me self esteem, SO SMART!! No, nothing ever will. So I had these great boudoir pictures taken. The photographer didn't Photoshop a thing and my body, I would never have believed it was me if I didn't see my own tattoos. Here is one I can share. These photos help me on days I don't love myself!
