8 Months Out

  • Popular Post

Just a quick update....

I am now 8 months post op and I am down 115lbs! I went from a size 4x top and 26/28 pants down to a large top and size 12 pants! And actually at work I fit into medium scrubs!!! I feel as though I've been given a second chance at life! I'm going through a divorce (and please no I'm sorry's it's the best thing to happen to me since this surgery) and I give all of my newfound self esteem and courage to my sleeve! It helped me find myself! And the best part is...I get to experience dating after my divorce is final!!! Lol

Keep it up everyone!! PM me if you have any questions!!!!

      Thanks everyone! As for the excess skin, it's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be! My arms and boobs are probably the worst of it! I hide it with spanx and tummy tuck tank tops pretty well! Oh and

    Congratulations on a stunning transformation!! Lookin' healthy and happy. You're going to be a hottie for the dating world. Congrats on your divorce. You sound like you want the divorce and it's a positive thing, and I have been divorced before so I know that getting one can be liberating. Wishing you all of the best!!
