I will be 8 months PO on the 15th.

The pain is long forgotten, healing is done, and the result is being enjoyed.

Holy cow girl..your freakin skinny!!!!! And what a great flat stomach!!!! Did you get you boobs done too???? Did they lift your butt as well, or did you have just a tummy tuck??? Man that looks great!!! I cant wait to get mine done. I am only 3 weeks out and I have 60 pounds left to go, but I have always had a little roll or pouch there. So I want it to be flat!!!!! You just gave me great hope!!!! THANKS

No, I just had a tummy tuck, nothing done to my breasts, or backside. I didn't have any lipo either. It's now been 15 months since my tummy tuck, and I am still as happy with the results now as I was at 8 months po.

Thanks.

I logged out, and could still see it. Maybe try refreshing your page?

Chickie if you don't kind me asking what was your weight when you had the TT?

I was 135lbs the day of surgery (I distinctly remember weighing in before surgery)

So I lost roughly 28lbs in the couple of months after the surgery.

Thanks. I am in an argument with my doctor as to when I should get mine done. The weight he wants me at seems too heavy and I am concerned about having more loose skin. But knowing you lost another 30 pounds after surgery and still look so good makes me think maybe he and I can come to some sort of agreement =)

If I had known I was going to lose another 26lbs (the doc took off close to 2lbs) I would have lost the weight first, then gone in for the tuck. I was at my "goal" weight when I had my tuck, I was well within a healthy weight.

My additional weight loss was not planned. I wanted to stay around 135, but my body had other idea's.

Go with your gut. If you want to lose as much weight as possible before your tuck, do it.

What weight does your surgeon want you to be at?

Well he seems to think that a resonable goal for me is 175 (I am 5'6") Which wold be 103 pounds lost. MY goal is to weigh around 150 and do not want to get my TT anytime before 160. I don't know it is just so difficult sometimes to even imagine myself at 160. I weighed 160 when I was in 6th grade. Ideally I want to get it done when I am at goal but I am so scared I will never make it there....

I would wait till you got to 160lbs. The thinner you are at the time of surgery, the better the result will be.

If I had still been overweight when I had my surgery, you can bet your boots that I would have new sagging skin. There is no way a tummy tuck will hold up to massive weight loss. As it is, I can pinch skin on my stomach due to the weight loss. And I wasn't all that fatty on my stomach when I had the tuck, the extra weight I lost came off my boobs, legs and backside.

Chickie, all I have to say is WOW!!! My only wish is that I was 27 again. My fear is that after I lose all my weight, even if I have cosmetic surgery, will it still look okay on a 48 year old???

I honestly have no idea.... Even if you do end up with some loose skin, it's gotta look better than morbid obesity, right?

Chickie, you know I have said in the past how great you look. Just revisting the PS threads since I have my TT scheduled now. Thanks for sharing your fantastice results with us
