Good luck! You'll have to post before and after pictures so we can see how it turned out. I'm super excited for you, relax and enjoy your new body!

Just wanted to reach out and tell someone that can relate to my feelings right now that my Tummy Tuck is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Jan. 3, 2013, at 7am! I'm soooooo excited but getting nervous and anxious. I was doing o.k. until the anesthisiologist called me a minute ago. I am not at goal weight which was originally set at my personal want of 140lbs. I really don't think I can maintain 140 as the last time I was that weight was 10 years ago and prior to my open heart surgery, full hysterectomy, hypothyroidism and Hoshimoto's . I could probably get there if I tried extremely hard but I know that realistically I won't be able to maintain that weight and if I could it would be a constant struggle. I'm at 157 and my plastic surgeon believes that 150 is a more realistic and maintainable weight for me since for the past 4 months I have maintained from 153 to 157 (I'm 5'71/2"). Therefore, since I'm within 10 lbs of my goal weight my surgeon says it will be perfectly fine for the TT operation. My VSG was one year ago on Dec. 13th.
I've already ordered the silicone sheets for after the scabs have fallen off to help the scar look better. If anyone is curious or wants more info. on them go to silon.com. I bought the abdominoplasty shaped sheet that is made for TT's or C-section areas. I watched a Youtube video where a woman had a TT and used the silicon sheets and her scar came out beautifully!
Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started around 190 and had surgery on 7/31. I'm around 145 now. It's slow but I didn't have as much to lose...about 15 more to go.

Just a quick check-in!! Everything is going so good!! I feel amazing and I am beginning to really see the difference in my face and body. For the first time in forever I'm looking forward to summer. Shorts and tanks from somewhere other than lane bryant. And a fancy new bathing suit!! All my nursing scrubs are huge! Love it! I'm creeping closer to onederland and when that day comes I'm treating myself to something fabulous.

Well, when ur done with them, let me know :-)

I did too. I gained three pounds back. I'm sick about it. I've noticed that I'm more hungry now too. I'm so worried about being hungry alot and not being successful. I am tracking and counting every calorie now though. I guess one day at a time

I have not exercised or watched what I eat since released to full foods. My New Years resolution is to exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week for 45 min. I want to lose 20 lbs or more by Feb. 14 I have a surprise Vegas vacation for my hubby..

I'm so excited and had to share. I have been in a stall for about 2 weeks now...been teetering over 200 and going INSANE to the point where I was questioning whether the surgery happened and/or if I was the ONE person it wasn't working for....
Well, this morning, I hopped on the scale and I was 199.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been below 200 in over at least 15 years! I actually did a Julie Andrews spin around my apartment (Referring to "the hills are a live...with the sound of music").

I have been hungry, too. My doc increased my Protein intake & calorie requirement. I still get hungry, but I don't feel bad about eating. It's such a small amount anyway. Protein, Fiber, and fat make us full longer, so I try to focus on those. Hunger is natural. Learning how to manage hunger is the key. For me, eating several small meals a day helps me most.
