My before and after Photos

This was me in Aug 2009 at 245lbs  ...and now, March 2014, at 130lbs 

before and after

Congratulations!  You look great, how was the pain of the tummy tuck?

Thank you!!

It wasn't horrible but I am numb, even still. I did/do still get pain, my body just seems to now when I am in pain... According to other people, I start walking hunched over or my demeanor is just off and different; I have some pain meds that I take when needed. 

I have had alot of little issues and I am still dealing with them (hence the pic with the dressing- that was on thursday) BUT I would do it all again if I had to. 

He took off 7lbs of excess skin off my tummy and breasts!!! 

My RNY was in Sept 2010 and my tummy tuck and breast lift was in Jan 2014

I have absolutely NOOOOO regrets!!! 

Wow you look amazing, thank you for sharing. May I ask how tall you are?

:-D

I am 5ft 2in tall

I know we are all different and lose differently but I still love to see people that are close in start and goal weight as me :-)

So inspirational. Did they take a lot off your tummy? What all did you have done for plastics? 

He took off 7lbs of total excess skin

I had my panni, upgraded to the fleur de lis tummy tuck and abreast lift

:-D

I had a reduction in 2007, kinda scared that I won't have any tata's left when I lose the weight lol. 

I've heard the plastics are very painful. That itself doesn't appeal to me...I've had quite a few surgeries myself and I have to say my hysterectomy and the RNY were the worst. I said after the RNY I wouldn't be going back under the knife again if I can help it. I think the older I get my pain tolerance goes down. BUT if I did ever get approved for the panni when the times come I'm sure I would do it, and try to upgrade if I could afford it. I would deserve it after all!! :-)

I have had ALOT of surgeries... I have to say I think have my gall bladder out was the worst for me. 

I had my gall bladder out at the same time as my RNY. Thinking that is why it was a bit if a rough go.
