jms462001 9 Posted May 12, 2009 There was an bunch of skin cutting with my surgery. A TT typically is hip bone to hip bone with maybe a vertical incision. I had a 360 around me with a vertical incision. Plus my arms plus a revision to my breasts. 8 feet plus in incisions all together. Ouch, ouch, ouch Ouch is right with a big O!! I meant did you have a lot of skin cut when you had the breast reduction 7 yrs ago or mostly Lipo? ? I know you are relieved the worst is behind you and the best is to come!!!!!

OH Juli 15 Posted May 12, 2009 Ouch is right with a big O!! I meant did you have a lot of skin cut when you had the breast reduction 7 yrs ago or mostly Lipo? ? I know you are relieved the worst is behind you and the best is to come!!!!! There was a good deal of skin cutting with breast reduction. The only lipo I had was on the sides. My breasts went from a H/I to a D. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks everyone for your kind words! I'm not brave enough to post half nakkit photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many accomplishments at the same time - you must be such a fabulous multi-tasker. Now you can relax and reap the benefits of all of your hard work! Congrats!

JosieK 120 Posted May 21, 2009 hi julie, i have to say you've been a power of example to me since the day i had my lapband done. you continually plodded along in so many areas of your life and achieved great things. you are also so positive and direct to the point in helping people.....i like that you look so cute in your graduation photo. you should take another one same as that one and add your bicycle in the photo. that would be your trifecta (degree, weight loss and cycle achievements) i must say i've lost my mojo for cycling and want to get that one back....i may have to join you guys on that thread once i get better. anyway.....thought i'd email to you what i've thought about you and your journey for the past 2 years josie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH Juli 15 Posted May 27, 2009 Hi kids. It was 8 weeks ago that I had surgery and yes I actually feel 100% now. Yesterday I ran 2 miles and today I completed a full 50 minutes of spin class. I'm back to tracking my food again. My goal is to keep it around 1200 give or take 100 calories. The bigger news is that I interviewed for a new position today that uses my exprience with food service and my MBA. I hope they offer me enough money to jump. I've always got something going on huh? Bless you all for all your encouragement. I really appreciate it. XO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
