Claire, love your term knackeredness. My husband is from England as says knackered quite often. Glad you got to get out and enjoy yourself!

Looks so good! It's crazy to look in the mirror and see the new you, huh? I love it!

PinkPolkdadot, let me know when the get together will be! You can PM me details.

Hi Deanna! So glad you are feeling not too bad and surgery went well! I was not able to stand up straightly for awhile, way too tight and sore! You will get there but it takes time. My surgeon wanted me stretching throughout the day to help with it. Looking forward to hearing more about it. Send me pics too! Kim

I'm in San Diego. I had my surgery 2 years ago.

I want to have my arms done as well. No help from insurance.

The pictures were crappy quality as they were a picture of the pictures provided to me by the doctor's hard copy. The results are even better in person. Would love to see yours too! I wore a pencil skirt yesterday and my tummy was so FLAT, it was crazy! Lynn, if you provide me your e-mail I can send you the pictures. I am not comfortable putting them on the internet with my name associated. I met with 4 different surgeons. I got a full body lift (a cut all the way around my abdomen, so basically a butt life and tummy tuck) and a boob lift. I got estimates from $20K - $40K.

Claire, you have had quite the journey over the last couple of weeks. You seem in great spirits though, so that is great. I'm glad you are doing ok and getting through it all. Hope the swelling goes down soon so you can continue to see the results. I'm also glad to read you are happy with going through with the procedure. Deanna, they removed 10 pounds of skin from my surgery. I continued to lose more weight after the surgery as I was not hungry at all for awhile. I did not do measurements! Silly me. Sending before/after pictures now!

ryn2bthin, so exciting about your upcoming surgery! The weeks after my surgery are like a blur now. I do know that sleeping in a recliner really helped. I also need a body pillow for a good 6 weeks. You'll need help the first week as you'll be on pain meds and can't move too well. Are you staying one night in a hospital? The results are so worth it, just keep that in mind!!! I'm so happy I went through it and I had a full body lift (cut all the way around), breast lift and lipo. Sorry I never posted before and after, I'm a little weird about that. If you want I can send you them via e-mail. Just don't want them on the www. Janette, sorry about the bounce back. Glad you are going to get back to the gym. The surgery is difficult, but for me, very worth it. If you have any questions, let me know.

pinkpolkadot, I had my first surgery at Pacific Bariatric!

Hi Smallbird I do not currently go to a group, and the only one I know of is on weekdays. Would love to meet you if you want when you come to SD on weekends!

I'm in SD

My weight has been at a stand still for awhile (although I did loose from the skin removal surgery). I am completely recovered from the plastic surgery. It is wild to have a rock hard stomach!!! And perky boobies. :-) Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. Kim Good luck to you that are having the plastic surgery in January, I'm here if you have any questions!

I don't have this as an app on my phone. I can add the picture now, but it's upside down. I can't get it to rotate and save. Sorry. The picture is me with my shirt tucked in! First time in years!

how do I post pictures?
