Brenda: Wow! You look 15 years younger! Fantastic. Thanks for sharing the pics. It's wonderful to see progress. I know that getting to this point was a lot of hard work, especially with everything you had going on in your life. What a great thing to do for yourself. Congratulations!

wow, thanks! Is it crazy or what, I only see a difference in my face and neck.

In the first photo, I weighed 266, that was 10 days post op I flew to Seattle. Add another 18-20 for heighest weight. I now weigh 169 ish lots of swelling in ab area still. I have always been a size girl. the lbs seem so high so I go for size pants and shirts. I started in a tight 22 or 2-3x- bra was 40 dd/E. Shopped this weekend and got- 10 pants, med/lg shirts and Victoria Secrets IPEX bra size 36c my boobs havn't been this size since JR. high! I love it I feel smaller just having the boobs done. I think once the swelling is gone the 8's will be perfect about 1" too small now and that was end of day and traveling 6 hrs.

I accept the daughter comment, as my daughter is beautiful, she is 17 dad isnt ready for her to gradute and move away too hard to protect.

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Damn, yall both have amazing results! I am so inspired! I have 15 more lbs I want off first, but cant have any surgery done until my summer break anyway. I have only been to one consult and I have a question over it... the doc said I could get away with just apron removal since I have never had children and my ab wall is in good shape. I wonder if I should go ahead and go for the full TT though, just to get the best results. My dilemna is that he says the recovery will be much easier from the apron removal and the full TT would not make that much difference for me. But I really want everything as tight, flat, and small as possible lol!!! Should I get a second opinion, I really like this surgeon and he has done 2 of my friends with amazing results. Plus he is in Mexico and quoted me $6000 for mini TT and breast lift.

Lianna: I hope some people with more experience reply to your questions. I always think that getting more than 1 opinion is a good thing. Also, the doctor has no motivation to do just the apron removal since he would make more money with the more extensive procedure. I would just make sure he understands that you want to be nice and tight. Good luck! I hope you'll keep us posted when you have the procedure. It's so motivating to see everyone's progress!

I agree with Karey on this one - get a 2nd opinion. I went to 3 docs, all of which said "lower body lift" when I JUST wanted apron removal, and only two of them actually DID the lower body lift. When I was quoted the price for aproon removal and then the TT there wasn't a significant difference in price. I went for the full lower-body lift (which includes a TT) because I thought why NOT get the full flat-stomach benefit with such a small price difference. But there is a much longer recovery time. But we're used to a little patience when it comes to our bodies, right ladies?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
