Today is my 5 month surgiversary!! It was on that day 5 months ago that I really saw the results of losing 165 lbs! Before that I looked like a deflated balloon with my tummy hanging down past my crotch! Not cute!

I'm still definitely a work in progress with my breast lift and brachioplasty scheduled for August 10th! I'm so excited to get this work done. Then next year- thighs and possibly implants if I need them. I'm hoping I don't.

Here's a couple of pictures:

I just took a look at your pics, you look great, that is amazing.  I'm curious, do you know how many pounds of skin they removed?  I'm having surgery very soon so I really appreciate anyone who is brave enough to share their pics.

Looking good Leslie.  Does it just get better and better each passing week?

 You look smashing!!!!!!   You've healed beautifully.......good luck on the next procedures - I managed to cram all my in in a few months time (nice to get it all over with but I've got sutures every damn place!).....but it is wonderful to say goodbye to hanging skin and embrace a whole new body.    Susan

Hi Susan,

I viewed the site for Dr. Fodero and his pictures are very impressive...Can you send me a message with some estimates of his cost if possible. I am not at goal yet but talked with two surgeons in Pa and for TT, Brachio, and Lift (not sure if with or w/o implants) the price ranged around 13k to 16k which reasonable for me...I would really appreciate it.
