I meet my plastic surgeon on 25th sept, about having a tummy tuck, im rather excited but a little nervous too. I am at my personal target weight so it should be ok to go ahead !! Fingers crossed all will be ok.

Good luck Puddin! Let us know how things go. I hope to follow your footsteps later this year.

Okay, I suppose every freakin doc has seen my 'before' anyway, so I'll go ahead and post them in about 2 weeks next to the 'after'. How's that?

that'd be great! I'm sure many of us would appreciate you sharing them Puddin' - lots of us are thinking about or planning for the same thing. Its always good to see/hear about a success story!

Puddin: You'll be in my prayers. I wish you the best!

I'll keep y'all posted. I have 'before' pics, but they're nasty. I don't think I'm brave enough to post them.

Puddin;

Post those pics! You're doing so well, it might encourage others to see what changes can come about.

I started the Pre-op diet today, so a gal at work took my before (the pre-op diet) pictures. I think they're fat & ugly! But...I will post eventually, when there's a slimmer me to compare them to.

Well, only 5 days to go!! going to Vegas today, in an hour, then only 3 days till TT and BL-

Telly, did you have a fill before or was your band pretty tight when you had your TT?

My plan is to have a small fill on Tues. wait things out and then surgery on Thurs. 7:15am. my hope is to be tight enough i dont eat like i have been. I work out alot with a trainer-(think her goal is to kill me some days) so eating the extra calories is ok as I am burning appx 500-800 cal 3 days a week. I have stayed the same weight since October 3rd but I have lost 2 sizes of pants and feel GREAT! working out is really the answer for power but this extra skin and boobs on my knees is crap- therefore Thursday!! I dont want to eat or snack alot when I am not burning those calories so I think I will need a fill.

Dr. thinks I will loose enough fat & skin for 2 pant sizes- do you think you lost that much? seems like alot, didnt realize there was "that much" there extra. I am worried in order to get that much my boobs will lift up and where my boobs are now will be my stomach! yeah, what a worry.

Any words of wisdom to keep my sanity for mon-thurs. let me know!

Brenda congrats on the TT. Please do Not get a fill before surgery... You need to be open just in case there is a medical need. You can get a fill after you recover. Please consult the surgeon,,i think he will say to wait.

I've only had one fill to date and that was Sept. 15th, 2006. I have also had a complete unfill.

I did not up my fill prior to surgery, but say... a month before I had a fill. I was fairly restricted at 2.8cc in a 5cc band.

Here's updated pictures..and yes I'm doing arm flex poses for another site.
