Last summer I was able to wear 2 piece, but with a coverup. I was still conscious of my tummy and thighs. But after recovering from plastics and working HARD in the gym 5-6 days a week, I can officially say that I will be hitting the beach this spring without a coverup. When I put on my 2 piece and saw my pic, I think I cried and cried for a good 10 minutes. Cried for my experience as an obese person, cried for the struggles of life post-op, cried because I WORKED HARD for this dang it, and I have finally arrived. People...I have FINALLY arrived!

Sorry for the crappy picture! My husband "cleaned it" with something that was not Windex...and I have yet to purchase a full length mirror! Isn't crazy how our past obesity still rules us even after we've shed the weight. Ugh! I am going to go and buy a full length mirror today!

Wow that's incredible and totally inspiring! My surgery is in June and everyday is a battle but I'm not giving up hope to look as amazing as you one day!

@@smallbird, I do not mind at all! I am sorry, I have not logged onto this site in a while, but to answer your questions, I received a lower body lift, spiral thigh lift and breast augmentation. If you are planning to have kids, I would definitely wait. The pregnancy would definitely ruin your results. I have four kids and a lot of that stomach flappyness came from each one of those pregnancies. Good luck to you!
