Hello! When I started out I tried to research what my body and scars might end up looking like after surgery and there wasn't much out there. I promised myself I would post pics for other people researching these things...no matter how embarrassing lol I took pics from all angles (front, side, back) to give a full account. These pics are in no way flattering but... hey, I look pretty good with clothes on, so I'd take all this over being my former obese self any day lol

Heres my stats for reference: 5'2", 34 yrs old,current weight 152, starting weight 217, starting BMI 39, 8 months out from surgery, surgeon Dr Kelly, 5 scars total. I still have about 20-25 lbs to lose. My loose skin is the worst on my tummy and thighs. I had to take my bra off to show my 5th scar (but I tried to cover up the girls the best I could), so there are bra marks under my breasts and around my torso. Those are not scars. I know those familiar with the surgery would know that, but those just starting out might not.

Yes! I would love to look like you at the end of this! You look great! Congrats! Love your bra too btw!

You look amazing!

I have not been sleeved yet and was wondering how the scars were going to look like. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, totally hot...I hope I look that good!

You look just lovely! Thanks for the pics and giving us hope:)

Wow. You have an amazing figure! Nothing to be self conscious about. Wow.

Thanks so much! I'm actually same hight but weigh a bit more so this give me a general idea..I'm sure ill have more tummy flab but hopefully since ill only be 21 age will be on my side! Are your boobs still droopy? Mine are DDD so I expect ill need a boob lift if I can afford it >.< you look great though! Congrats!

I'm glad it helped! It makes the embarrassment worth it ha ha Its great that you have age on your side. I am sure you will bounce back beautifully.

My cup size has actually gone up since surgery. I was a 40D before surgery and I just recently got measured and was a 36DDD. I guess I have lost weight in the circumference of my band area faster than I have lost boob. My boobs have deflated some and hang a tad lower but my hubby is still very happy and he's a boob guy so they must not be too bad YET lol I still have 15- 25lbs to go though so who knows how they'll end up.

Umm... It would be my dream fantasy to look that good after all of this is said and done !

You are waaaay too kind, but thank you so very much!! While I am self concious and pick myself apart without my clothes on, I just have to remember that overall it isn't too bad and I need to be grateful for that.

Wow!!! You are so lucky to still have a butt!!! Mine is flat and saggy!!!

While its not in the best shape its still there lol Before I gained the weight and while I was heavy it was more bubbley, if that makes sense. Its kind of fallen to the bottom and lost some top fullness, which I am sad about. I think I would consider the butt plastic surgery where they put the fullness back it, but we'll see where I end up after the last 15-25 lbs Thank goodness for shapewear lol

Ok this is weird coming from another woman, but nice butt!!! You look amazing!

Ha ha Thanks and not weird at all...I can totally appreciate the female form too!!

Ummmm excuse me-- but those pics are def flattering
