Check out this 3fc's pre-op and post-op photos. I'm sure she will pipe up if you have questions for her.
These photos are pre-surgery:
She had lost 210 pounds
She had reached maintenance (minus the weight of the loose skin)
Post surgery (and these are when she was still healing - photos taken 2 weeks post-op). She looks FABULOUS!!!! This was about a year ago I believe.
Cannot tell you how much hope this gives me. It's actually very rare to come across many examples of such a major weight loss in a female. I have my tummy tuck savings account started.
