    Default Life is Good! post tummy tuck :)

    I'm now six months post tummy tuck and 18 months or so post sleeve. I'm about 10-15pounds from goal.
    I could not be happier. I didn't feel thin after i lost 100 pounds...because my huge gut was hanging in front. Thank god insurance covered the paniculectomy and I paid an additional 2900 for muscle repair. My doctor, andrea strauss in bridgewater, NJ did a wonderful job. I plan on having a neck/face lift sometime in the next six to 8 months. this photo was taken the day before surgery and about two weeks after surgery. I feel like a new person...and ladies, lemme tell you, i am YOUNG downstairs now...every thing is lifted and no fat flab etc. it's freaking awesome lol.

    she removed eleven pounds of skin and fat from my belly

    Pounds LOST since surgery 111
    Finally reached Onderland 3/1/2013
    Height 5'3" Small frame
    Starting BMI day of surgery : 45.7 MORBIDLY OBESE CLASS 3
    BMI current 26.0 OVERWEIGHT

    my first goal is to get to 141pounds, that will put me in the NORMAL range bmi. My second goal is 120, which is thin and healthy.

    I went from a size 14-16 the day of surgery...elastic waist pants....to a button up size 8 jeans I can now wear anything...if any of you are on the fence about getting a tummy tuck, omg i can't say enough about it, it's life changing.

I want to be "young downstairs" too (love that). You look utterly wonderful! Best of luck with the rest, be sure to share b& a pictures. Enjoy your gorgeous bod!

    My wife had it but she only had three pounds of skin. She didnt have the muscles reworked and yet she had a ton of pain for four or five days afterward. It looks great now but I was sure after I saw what she went through that I would never do it myself. You look great after. Good luck losing whatever else you are trying to lose.
