All skin removal surgery done...... before and after pics

Feeling a little better now .. some pics of how much skin overall was removed in 11 months 3 Operations and a total of 28 hours surgery.

My surgeon is extremely cautious and takes her time with all surgeries she has done for me. I had a total stay in hospital of 13 days .

Only complication i experienced was allergies to the medical adhesives causing stitch abscesses when i had my thigh lift in October 2012. I also developed an encapsulated seroma in my thigh which was removed when i had my maxoplasty 8 days ago. I developed a haematoma in my left breast and ended up with an additional 2 hours in surgery and 4 pints of blood transfusion.

My band is playing up due to the swelling from all the iv fluids but overall i am feeling much better and looking forward to no more surgery and no more scars :)

good luck to all of you contemplating skin removal.

You give me such huge hope!! I look like your before pics right now, in fact, I'm embarrassed to admit I think my stomach actually looks even worse. Seeing your amazing results makes me so excited to get all this skin removed!

Thank you so much for sharing!

I ended up having to have 1 mls removed from my band today, i am 2 weeks post op from my plastic surgery and i was getting tighter and tighter to the point where i could hardly even drink over the weekend.

Please dont leave it like i did and have a small unfill before any surgery, took a chance and didnt this time and have had a miserable time last week getting tighter and tighter. I now am able to eat and drink normally and feel so much better for it. Being tight can impact on your healing process if u get dehydrated etc so its really not worth taking the chance :)

Wow, you look incredible! You worked so hard and lost so much weight, you really deserve to feel comfortable in your skin. I have no doubt, you will now do feel just that way! Here's the big question, how the heck did you lose so much weight, I'm in awe...

finding what worked for me and sticking to it, i weighed every day, did all my exercises everyday and ate similar food every day, sounds boring yes, but i had a lifetime of eating too much good food, i never ate junk food anyways, so a couple of years being rigid with myself paid off :), now i am in maintenance i mix it up now and manage to keep my weight stable so it was all worth it :)
