i wasnt offended at all... dont worry about it unless someone says something.

I'm certainly not offended, Nina, as a matter of fact, may I say you have a lovely derriere! I'd like to see a close up of your tattoo, too!

If anyone is easily offended, we probably already chased them off with all the talk about hair removal of the nether regions and the effects of weight loss and ps on the male unit! I can't think of anything better to take our minds off of major surgery than talking about our naughty bits, LOL.

I have just looked at your piccies and I have to return the compliment *wolf whistle*

I will get my dh to take a picture of my tattoo, I love it, it has yin/yang to represent me and DH in the fire of our love, and six stars for the kids, all very sentimental

Do you have any tattoos?

It didnt hurt at all, just felt like a bit of sunburn while it was being done.

No tattoos, yet, but I will get one sometime in the next year. I promised myself one after reaching goal weight, but now I want to wait until after the ps. Maybe I'll get one for my 49th bday in October.

OMG!!! YOU are 49!!! ?????!!!

Looking good girl, looking good.........

Heres the picture of my tattoo close up. I am pretty darned pleased with it, I like the way it looks and it means a lot to me - there I am being sentimental again!

Hi all. Guess I will post my before pics too.

Nina, no offense here for sure.

As for the 1 inch per 30 pounds, not sure about that particular ratio, but if its not TMI, I can sure tell the difference and am quite happy about it

[nina874 48]

LMAO off @ Neal!!! Bet your wife is pretty happy too!

I am very impressed that you have put your pictures up.

It must be a bit of a nightmare sometimes with us all chattering on about 'girly' things. I was talking to my DH about getting him a band and he said that he is just to worried about all of the blokes that we know ripping him for it. Was that something that you encountered? He mentioned his weight the other day and one of his 'friends' told him to stop eating so much and get his arse off the couch!

You are going to look amazing after the op, you are the ideal candidate!

I have just been posting on a PS board and people there were fairly negative about me getting the op at this stage, I understand what they are saying but I think that it will make a huge difference ( especially with 7 litres of lipo!) and that it will spur me on to reach goal. I really truly dont think that my skin will sag if I lose more weight after the TT. I have been lucky so far when you consider the sag that I have is a result of having 6 pregnancies I dont think it is too bad ( ehem) well you know what I mean.

Sorry to moan it has just negged me out a bit, they were all saying things like 'be realistic about the results that you want', is that polite speak for ' you too fat to even consider doing this '????

No worries the girly things don't bother me at all. I haven't had any negative reactions from others, at least to my face. lol You know, I did this for me and no one else. I am doing PS for the same reason - for myself, to make me feel better about me. I tell anyone and everyone and am ok with that.

Did you notice our ticker in in days now instead of months and weeks! Getting ever so closer

[nina874 48]

:biggrin:I know!!! I noticed that today!!!:biggrin:

I am back in Lyon on Tuesday for my pre-op/final consult and I was thinking that by the time I get back ( I have to travel for 4 days, fly from here on Monday to Manchester, and then from there the day after to Lyon, same in reverse on the way back!!) there will be only 3 weeks before I fly out again and that time for the op!!

I wish that DH had that attitude, but his mates are very blokey and just couldnt get their heads around it, he sees it as a weakness to get the band, I see it as a weakness to eat the food!

[TamifromAL 1]

I told friends on another board that I would *not* post "before ps" pics until I have "afters" to compare to, but if you guys are brave enough, then I am, too!

The good:

The bad (port bulge & frowny belly button!):

And the ugly:

The bent-over front view:

The "lift and see what it might be like after ps" view:

And last, but not least, the "butt puddle":

Heres the picture of my tattoo close up!

Love, love, love it! I want to do something with that "tribal" quality, too! (Edit to add: I like yours too, Neal!)

[nina874 48]

OMFG!!! Tami you are going to look amazing!!! What kind of weights are you pumping? I am just toning at the moment but you must be ripping to get that much definition!! When you lay down you can see just how awsome your results are going to be.

Ooooo I feel a high five coming on!!!!

Hi everyone,

It's nice to see a Feb/Mar PS thread! I'm going for breast augmentation/brachioplasty in either February or March, I don't have a date yet. I'm going to post before/after pics, I'm a little worried about that, but I also COMPLETELY appreciate PS pics that are posted on here so I feel like I should share. Thanks for starting this thread!

Tami! Looking great. Look at those guns! :smile:

I am going to get another tat after my PS. I had a freind on another board draw it up for me. Kind of cheesy, but its a Phoenix to sybolize my rizing from the ashes. Probably going to add a little color to the head and tail:
