I have included several before and after shots of plastic surgery through the following links. They have not been edited so if you don't want to see them, don't click! They are nude and scarred and may be alot to take but for those who will make the transforamtion, you deserve to see the results and I know I would want to know.

These shots are only 2 weeks post op and I am a bit of a bruiser and very fair skinned. I am happy with where I am and know that once the sweeling goes down, I will be even happier. Well, here it goes!

Hey I was just checking out your pics.. I am a little smaller than you were then..but my boobs are about like that..I need my arms done too..I have lost about 80lbs..and as long as I get below 200, I am at 230 now..I will be fine..I really would like to get my tummy, arms, and boobs done..is it ok to do while still loosing..I am really ready..thanks geri

I went back to pg 1 and read everything.

You are amazing to have taken all those candid shots. 10 Years ago I had a Breast Reduction too... your scars brought me back.

I am pleased to tell you that ALL of my scars are WHITE and very light coloured. If I was on a topless beach no one would notice them.... Unless I swim in COLD Water then they are a little purplish for a few minutes.

I did not find the pain from the BR that bad. I was back to work in a week and no one was the wiser.. I DIDN"T TELL ANYBODY..

Breast SENSATION questions... no worries there.... because my surgeon did NOT remove my nipple stem, the blood supply is not cut off during surgery. They reshape the nipple smaller to proportionally size it to the 'new' breast but you retain sensation...

I remember in my room after recovery lifting off one bandage to 'peek' at my new boobs... as soon as the cool air hit my nipple... it stood up to attention!! Whew was I happy.

My neck and Back have been much better because I had this surgery.. As well, it make shopping for bathingsuits, bras tremendously easier.

Presurg. I was a 40EE, today I am a 38D cup... still lots to love!

But as my lapband does its job and I lose more weight I'll probably end up a 36 C....

I am waiting to see if I'll need a tummy tuck once I've gotten to goal weight. Right now, I am girdling it LOL

Peaches - Thankyou for your post. I'm doing the PS in reverse order to you. TT in 2 weeks and BR sometime next year. I wanted to do both at the same time but the doc wouldn't agree. I've been worried work would give me a hard time about even more time off for additional surgeries, my husband is already sick of my not having any vacation time left over for the family. So it's good to hear you were up and going within a week after the BR.

that shot where the skin is removed and not sewn together is brutal! but, it was worth it, right> congrats

I went to look at the 12 week pics and it said photobucket took them down for violating TOS.

Must have been the nudity?

But wow, the first set of pics look so painful!! Is it as painful as it looks? I was thinking of possibly doing my boobs if nothing else, but I don't know if I could put them through that!!!!

I am curious how the scars have turned out.. damn photobucket.

This is soooooooo cool!!!

Congratulations!!!

THanks for posting. I am going for first consult in a couple af days and am looking forward to having the skin gone from my midsection :scared2:

Neal this is absolutely great, i LOVED seeing the pics, thanks for such a detailed picture narration. You are exactly what i'm hoping to become.

I just had my band on july 20th, almost three weeks ago. I have had terrible, inexplicable complications. Extreme nausea, some uncontrollable vomiting, acid reflux all the way back up into my throat and left ear, excruciating pain......etc etc this whole deal has been a tough experience. I keep telling myself it will get better but man it's something new everyday.

Your pics are great and a bit of an inspiration. This device is in me now so i might as well make the best of it that can be made. I started at 296 and in three weeks have lost 32lbs. Today at the doctor, between throwing up, i weighed 264.

I wish i could say there is glory in losing 32lbs, but with my complications there is none at all. Good luck to you! Have your scars healed from the skin removal? How well have they healed?
