Damn, you look good. Like, really, really good.
I know I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about this. I had pretty much decided that I'd never undergo surgery, but these pictures ...
Again, congratulations for your hard work & also for your braving the surgery and getting through what must have been considerable discomfort afterward.
Yes, Jen is inspiring, isn't she?
I understand how you feel. I was the type of person who always considered cosmetic surgery as something I was not interested in nor thought it was personally necessary. That was before I lost the weight though. After I had my first consultation with my surgeon, he worded it as reconstructive surgery opposed to cosmetic.... that shifted my mind set and made me realize that what I was doing was necessary FOR ME.
Yes, Jen is very inspiring! I have a cousin who has lost 250 lbs now and will be having a lower body lift in the next few months too. I stayed with her to recover after my surgery so it gave her a really good idea on what to expect.
lol... too funny about my boobs!
I *could* have benefited from a breast lift but my doctor had reassured me I would be happy without one (he also could not do the lift coupled with the lower body lift as it would make the surgery too long). I am not interested in having any more surgeries so it is what it is and nothing a good bra can't fix. I just wanted some volume back!
