@@Daisee68 Thank you so much! There's no "absolute results", no this is what you will look like. Makes it really hard to comprehend. It's terrifying but then I look at my belly now and it can be any worse than this!

@TheRealMeIsHere! Oh thank you! I'm hoping this will get me in some kind of exercising mood because I need to work on my thighs, arms and butt still! I'm trying to avoid anymore surgeries if possible.

I'm actually interested in pics and info...

I'll be looking at surgery for myself some time in the future and am not averse to the idea of traveling to have it done...

Perhaps plan it at the end of a little tour of wherever I end up going...

I'm so excited for you! I really want to see your before and afters. I have had the worst time trying to find tummy pics that look like mine. I am sad I was supposed to have surgery next month but my coworker quit and there is currently no one to fill in for me. So my surgery is on hold until further notice. But at least it gives my skin some more time to tighten.

@@Elode - don't fall for @@KindaFamiliar 's tricks. He just wants to see pictures of you! ;)

Wishing you the best! Truly! I am calling this week to set up a consultation in May with Dr. Peter Fisher in San Antonio. Probably a little early but as I am so close to goal, I want to have an idea of what we are looking at time-wise and money-wise.

How rude...

Correct, but rude... :D

@@Elode

Don't you listen to the nasty lady...

My interest is purely scientific...

I'm pretty sure it is..

I think...

But I will share this with you! Everybody remarks that I don't look like I have any loose skin. Umm yes, yes I do. If I pull it all real tight you can see how small I really am under there. I will show you the real before later....stop looking at my nakedness Familiar!! I was never meant to be a big person. I'm praying she can get me flat!

@TheRealMeIsHere!, I get the general idea of the pre- and post-op pics, but not sure of everything going on there because of the bruising. Have you since had a belly button fashioned or are you Eve incarnate? Or was it done along with everything else?

I've just read your post above (the one with the pic) and had to read it a couple of times...

I thought you'd had some sort of conniption because it wasn't making sense...

Then I realized you were talking to me!!!

You'll be pleased to know the following -

Once you told me not to look, I clicked on the pic..

What did you expect when you put the words 'stop' and 'nakedness' in a sentence with my name..

Anyway, I've no idea why, but no matter how many times I MAY HAVE tried, the pic would not get any bigger...

Therefore, rest assured that I am yet to gaze upon your nakedness...

Damn you cheap, shitty internet!!!

Ok, I'm leaving this thread so you can resume normal service...

That is all...

@@Elode - FINALLY!!!

I was wondering where you had disappeared to :)

If you keep losing weight, and the plastics are done, we will have to get you to hold up a flag (colorguard reference) to see you in a picture!

cannot wait to see your after pics!

I had a breast lift and didn't have any pain with that, go figure. I have had two tummy surgeries and I have a suggestion for you. Ask what shape of belly button your surgeon does. The straight up and down one(as in the pics from the other poster) does not turn out very nice, as someone else mentions they couldn't see it. I had this one the first time. The second time the surgeon did a round one much much nicer looking. Congrats on your surgery, you will be soooo happy!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
