Awesome job! It's amazing how we don't see the transformation in ourselves unless it's pounded into our heads! A couple people didn't recognize me and I asked my husband if I really looked that different. He said, "honey, sometimes I don't recognize you in a crowd of people"!!! Keep up the great work!

I'm 17 months post op now. Just had my TT 10 days ago. Someone else asked about excess skin. I had quite a bit around my waist line....there was no avoiding that for me...I had a real big belly. But other than that it's not a problem. I've done alot of working out and alot of running. The lowest I got was 217 but mostly fluctuate around 220-225. But now that I'm post TT I can see abs so I'm not overly concerned with how much I weigh.

I figure I'm going to have excess skin around my belly that I can't avoid. The picture of me from Saturday is a little deceiving. I still have a belly. Did you pay out of pocket for the TT or did insurance cover that?

I had to pay. Insurance would have covered the cost of a panniculectomy if I had complications due to the skin.

But man it was worth it.
