Is your TT circumferential or do your incisions end somewhere around your back? Was it a spiral thigh lift? Sounds like it might have been if your incisions go across under your butt cheeks.

The incisions go around my back a couple inches, they do not meet. I am not positive as for the thigh lift. Pre-op, we had talked about if I just wanted the groin incision of the full inner upper thigh incision. I decided, for maximum results, I could live with the full upper length scar. The scar actually does not go all the way to my knee, so I am happy about that, you will never see it with Bermuda shorts on. As far is going around under my butt cheek, I did not expect that, so added bonus for me. It goes about half way across, under my butt cheek.

It sounds like you are doing well and have made decisions that are good for you. I am happy for you.. not sure if I'll ever afford $11,000 for the procedure...

I think you are gonna have a fabulous result!

Thank you so much for sharing @@Spiceyfrog

Do you happen to have any before pics where you are not holding the skin that you would be willing to share? I'm curious to see how we compare, I think our shape might be similar. I've always had a larger waist relative to the rest of me.

While I'm asking I might as well say I would love to see a back view of your incisions! Lol

The only before picture I have, is the one that I am wearing jeans in. I may have an unrelated one, I will take a look. The behind photos were not great because you cannot see my leg incisions from behind. I took some new ones today, with each leg up and you can see the leg incision and the end of the incision under my butt cheek. I also included a behind view of the tummy incision. Don't mind my saggy butt, that will be next...lol

As I was uploading I found the last picture of me in a bra, that was this time last year before my brachioplasty and augmentation/lift, that shows most of my stomach.

I read a blog of a woman who had a circumferential body lift after weight loss and while she looked normal standing up, when doing planks and pushups her skin still hung around her middle. A fleur de lis incision takes care of that side to side stretched skin and the Tummy Tuck or body lift only addresses up and down stretch, so to speak.

Hope you heal fast - i'm sure you'll be thrilled with the result! Thanks for sharing!

That's exactly why I did it. I also have an aunt who had a tummy tuck and still has a muffin top - no thank you!

Did he do any Lipo?

I'm surprised at some of the childish and negative comments that people posted in here.

@@Spiceyfrog went out of her way to share some person and honest photos and a lot of the things that people posted in here are inappropriate. I admire Spiceyfrog for not tell you all to go to hell.

I don't remember any really bad comments either. Keep doing what you're doing I'm sure you'll be happy with the results and sleep comfortably knowing you help people.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
