U look fantabulous, congratulations, how was recovery after the Tummy Tuck? What other surgery did u have?

Thank you! I had a panniculectomy and tummy tuck. I am in the process of appealing a denial for a brachioplasty (arm lift). The recovery from the TT was ROUGH. In retrospect, I would do it all over again because the results were amazing (I think there are pictures in my profile), but it is definitely WAY more difficult of a recovery than the WLS itself and I would say even more difficult of a recovery than childbirth. :-) BUT again, like I said, the results are so worth it once you get past that first few weeks. I'm 2.5 months post op on the TT and still wearing full compression and sometimes my ab binder (mainly when I'm at home) and my abs are still sore. My surgeon told me it takes a good 6 months or so for the ab soreness to go away.

Great compliance! You look younger and way more healthy. Hope you feel the same.

I am years out from surgery but love to see how others are doing.

I find these boards inspirational to me and check them when I have down time.

Congrats !

Ps. I also thought the TT was way harder recovery than I expected... And I also have kids!!

Wow! You are a clear example of how taking the weight off also takes off years in appearance.

In a good way, looking at your before/after pics are like looking at a mom and her daughter.

You look FABULOUS!

Thank you for this! I am smaller than ever but not at goal! At 13 months you help fuel my hope that reaching my goal is possible! Congratulations to you! I have around 30 pounds left! I lost almost 100 pounds and life is moving!!!!
