Can't wait to wear a bathing suit !!!

You look Great!!..... looking at your pics i would have never guessed you weighed 245 at one time. My TT was the best thing ever..... I'm able to wear underwear and they don't role down anymore.... i have a new love with VS. Although i can't wear the bras... i now have a draw full of sexy thongs....yes.. and i love the way it makes me feel.

You incision looks great.... keep it moisturized I had asked my PS about the silicone Patches... he said they don't do anything a good moisturizer can do.... My scar looks great... can't see it unless i remove my panties... mine does not go straight across... it dips down into my pubic area... which is what i wanted. Hip to hip.

does yours go all the way around?

Just like my two friends here.... no i didn't NEED the TT. I was a size 6-8 going in and still a 6-8. But, I hated the apron that hung down. I felt I didn't bust my Butt losing this weight, going to the gym most everyday to still not feel confident with the "total outcome". But after 2 csections, gallbladder, hysterectomy and the LB.... my stomach looked like hell (at least i thought so). No amount of exercising was going to make it go away. So, Feb 15, 2012 i did it and i am sooooooo happy with the outcome. I would do it again tomorrow.

My upclose was at two months and the other was at six months. Sorry if it grosses you all out...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
