Excess skin removal surgery scheduled!!!
 

I have scheduled my surgery to have the excess skin removed!!! I am so excited and so nervous! I will be have a full circumferential, which means they cut all the way around to not only get the skin on my abdomen and hips, but it will also mean a butt and outer thigh life (although I have very little extra skin on my outer thighs - my body just does not carry it that way).

The doc expects to remove 8-10 pounds of skin and will be lipo-ing more.

I am so happy for you! I can't even imagine how excited you are. I wish you the best experience and the speediest of recoveries! Please tell us all about it when you are done! :)

Congrats!!! That is amazing! Make sure you come back to tell us how it went!

So great!!! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible, with as easy as possible a recovery as well!! and then onto a whole new you!
I remember reading your 200-pound post and just read your blog... Thank you for sharing your story there, what an incredible couple of years it has been for you!

So glad for you, hope everything goes well!!

So basically, you're at goal!! CONGRATS!

That is so exciting! Hope you have a speedy recovery and see the results you want! Good luck!

Come back and tell us all about it. We want facts !

Best of luck for you and hopefully you'll have a quick healing process!!!!

Congratulations! I read your blog and must say you're an inspiration.

F.

So happy for you - all the best!

Thanks everyone! The surgery is tomorrow! I'll let everyone know how it goes. The doctor has repeatedly told me that I'll have a completely flat stomach. That is so hard for me to believe!

I still see myself as weighing over 200 pounds. My brain hasn't yet caught up to my body!

wow i am breathless reading this! I am also considering this... I have gone from 260 to 160... I also notice a lot of loose wrinkly skin on my boobs (but I think that surgery is harder to do...)

anyways I might schedule a consultation... I would be interested to hear how yours goes. I hope you are doing ok!!!

:)

Just letting everyone know that surgery went off without a hitch. I'm very uncomfortable and sore but not in severe pain. The pain pump helps that.

Details will follow...

So glad it's done and went without a hitch. Continued healing vibes being sent your way!!!
