Hey all, just wanted to pop in and say hi.

This Friday marks 8 years since I have surgery. Happy to post I have maintained my loss, still take my vits/supps daily and get blood work annually to make sure all is well.

I am 2.5 years out from an extended TT and am super excited for July 10th when I am scheduled for a BL/BA, brachioplasty and laser skin tightening on my neck. One more step completed on this journey that started 10 years ago. I am hoping to have a thigh lift done in the next 1-2 years and my transformation will be complete.

Cant believe its been 8 years, seems like surgery was only yesterday but the person I was 8 years ago seems light years away from the person I am now.

I look forward to see what the future brings!

Congratulations. I love to hear of long term success. Some days I am not sure where I will be in 8 years

Thanks for the update. I am about two years out and am thankful every day for my surgery. I am doing things now that I never would have done as an obese person. I encourages me to know that you have maintained your loss and done well. I hope I can be in your shoes in 6 years!

So glad to see your post. I love hearing of long term success. This is my greatest fear; not being able to maintain my loss long term. Reading posts like yours makes me more secure that I can do this too. Congrats.
