[Paulax 8]

Continued healing my dear!

OK, I got the QUICKEST peek at my arms tonight and I'm going to be super happy! First of all, the scar is scary and long, but it's so well placed. You really have to contort to see it....

You're not kidding about the placement. That's fantastic! No one is ever going to notice the scars unless you raise your hands up over your head. I'm so relieved it's going well for you. I've also heard (and seen) some scary stories about brachioplasty. Do you know how many ounces or pounds of skin your dad removed? Not that it matters, I'm just curious about how it will affect your overall weight.

Do you know how many ounces or pounds of skin your dad removed? Not that it matters, I'm just curious about how it will affect your overall weight.

He said it was "negligeable." He took 12 lbs off my stomach the first time, but said he didn't remember if they told him how much it all weighed but he'd be surprised if it were more than 2 lbs (which I'll get back with my implants next month, so it comes out in the wash). He took 8 inches of skin off my thighs, but it didn't weigh much because it really didn't have any fat or other tissue come off with it, and it was very thinned out skin from having been so heavy. I was surprised, honestly -- I thought we'd be taking off another 7 or so lbs with this surgery.

Sitting where I sit now (at goal), I can tell you it doesn't matter. 2 weeks ago I thought it mattered, but it really doesn't now that I'm here.

OK, I had some staples taken out tonight and I got the quickest look at my legs. They're going to look so great once the inner thighs are done! I can't wait. I think the outers look great, but it feels half done. And that's ok too. It's not that long of a wait!

HOLY COW:eek:. I am totally floored:faint:. Your afters are totally AWESOME!:clap2: You know it is so easy for people to look at your clothed before photos and think why would she ever want to have more surgery you looked freakin' HOT already. But the difference is just amazing, absolutely AMAZING!:whoo:

I am so happy for you:D. (still hate you and want that friends and family discount:heh:, but happy all the same )

Hey silly comment. Are you having to pin those drains to you all the time or just for the pics? I know your an old pro at this PS thing but I had a little fanny pack the docs office gave me to tuck my two drains into when I had the Tummy Tuck. I really liked it, pinning them up just made me nervous and it was easier to camoflauge them in the fanny pack when I had to go out.

Wow Julie, you just look fantastic. It already looks worth all the pain and discomfort to me!!
