  1. Yes, it was night right before surgery! I honestly thought I still had a lot of fat and wanted to get my arms done first but when I first saw surgeon for consultation, he told me to wait on arms until at goal weight and that I was ready in my mid section. I was surprised with how much he removed!! I've never really had hard fat though, it's always felt a bit loose.
  2. Greetings Gals! I started at 350lb, Surgery weight was ~325lb, Tummy Tuck was at ~195 and my one year mark in February has kept me at about 175lb. 13 months after my surgery, I had to get gall bladder removed because I was having ugly gall bladder attacks and they found several stones. They attributed it to severe weight loss in small amount of time. Also, for those at the beginning, my best advice is to not allow yourself to get discouraged with stalls because oooooh my, how I loathed them! Just stick with the magic number 6 and don't consume more than 6g of sugar in any sitting or with any beverages. Stay Focused. Be Grateful Everyday. Appreciate your wonderful body at every stage,
