Please be sensitive ... I have been on threads where people have made negative comments about any number of things. It took a lot of courage for me to put these pics up here. I had my TT done 13 days ago and still swollen a bit. I am feeling pretty well, just tired mostly. I have added the pre-op pics .... I will warn you, they are NOT pretty! I am not perfect but I am on my journey.....

Thanks, Katie

Amazing results. You look fabulous.

Katie....surgeon did a great job....You look great!!! Well - you did all of the hard work to start with!! Did your doctor do anything with your port?

Oh my goodness!!!! You look so good!!!!

You look great. Thank you for posting... so many of us are in the same boat and it helps to see the pics.

The difference is amazing. Thanks for being so brave to show us your photos. So many of us want/need to go through the same procedures, and it is really good to see the before and after.

They aren't pretty they beautiful you look great thanks for sharing

I have to agree with everyone here, you look great! And thank you for sharing, I know how hard it is to put yourself out there when people have reacted negatively in the past. It does take a lot of courage to make yourself so vulnerable. Thank you.

you look great!!! i go for my surgery on the 13th

Are you using anything for the scars? Looks Good!

Hi there,

my PS did not want to touch the port so it is in its original location. I have not started using anything for the scars yet but I have heard Vitamin E works well. I still have a few scabbed areas that need to heal up before I can start softening the scar. I have been told that the scar will lighten over time as well.

Again, thank you all for your support. I have come a long way physically but need my mind to catch up with where my body is. I still see myself as "the big girl" that I once was. Work in progress I guess....

:^) Katie

congrats!!! u look amazin!!!!

You look really good, I am now 3 months out from a body lift, for me the swelling took quite some time and you can really tell when the skin gets to the point that you can feel the muscles and bones below.

it takes quite a lot of courage to do this but it is worth it.

BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, get your beautiful mind wrapped around the idea that ALL of you is GORGEOUS!!!
