Anyone out there with before and after photos with reconstructive surgery after WLS? I would love to see the "final product"! And those who have decided they are good without the surgery, show off those tummies!! I am concerned about how much sagging skin I will be left with and want to see how well you all "shrunk" back to you final sizes.

:clap2: Hooray, for flat tummys... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Momoffour, when did you have your tummy tuck? I'm sitting here wondering if your belly button is healing well. It looks very different from what mine looked like. Mine looked like a small little belly button right off the bat, I am just wondering if yours is okay. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, how recent are those pictures? Just concerned for you. And make sure once its dry and healed that you put a marble or something so that the wound doesn't heal itself shut. I didn't know this and my belly button is kind of tiny because since its a circular cut the natural tendancy our body would have is to heal it shut, I myself am scared to stick a marble in there, but the ps said that is what they recommend. I just take a square of toilet paper and fold it really tight into a little cylinder type thing and stick it in there and it has helped. And is worse comes to worse, the ps said he could correct it a little with local anesthetic to open it a little more.

thank you both so much for the posting of pictures/ yall look so good. did it change your pants size alot?

I still have some swelling because I'm only 6 weeks post-op, but I went from a size 14 to a 10 :clap2:

Yeah! Good for you...that's great work.

I'm still in the getting ready stages. My surgery is in May so I'm hoping to be feeling better soon.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing everyone!!! Inspiring.

wow!! from a 14 to a 10?!!? that is great! what an amazing transformation!

I love pictures like this. it makes me wonder what I will look like when I am at goal and done with the total body lift. I keep wondering if I will be back to my original size and hottness lol

Thanks for sharing! You guys look great. I hope I won't need a TT (no more money) but if I do, I sure hope it turns out well like yours.

Thanks for the pix...I am wondering what it costs, since I'm sure none of it is normally covered. I know I will need a TT, and a boob lift at the very least. Thighs aren't too bad, upper arms not great but still elastic somewhat. Belly gotta go though any qoates on how much?

wow, your before pictuers look just like me!

OUCH, that picture with the bellybutton hole looks kind of raw. Is that the way it's suppose to look while it's healing? Yikes, that scared me, but you're looooooking good.

The tummy tuck took you from a size 14 to 10??? OMG, that's great.
