I get alot of comments on my posts that my skin "wasn't that bad". I guess the photos I was using as before plastics didn't quite show the extent of the damage that obesity did to my stomach so I am here to set the record straight with pictures. While I understand that there are much worse cases of excess skin, for me it was unacceptable for me to live the rest of my life looking like I did. I guess I set my standards high - some people can deal with their skin, but I could not so that is why I got my extended tummy tuck. I can now look in the mirror and smile and thats all that really matters. I don't have to hate my reflection and that is a priceless feeling. Heres the pics.

food. There will always be reminders with scars and stretch marks, but at least now I can feel comfortable in my own body. Lifes to short to hate how you look. But thats just my opinion.

Awesome! If you can do something to make yourself happier and feel better then GO FOR IT!

HOORAY AND CONGRATS TO YOU! You look amazing!!! I'm 2 months out from my TT and am very pleased as well. Can't wait to get the thigh lift!

Good for you:). I think you look great. After all the hard work losing the weight you deserve to be happy...I don't think it was a bad decision at all...and hopefully when the rest of my weight is gone, I will be getting mine done:)
