Denise, thankyou.. Sorry to wish the same a day late!!! Talk about cardio conditions!!! All I can say is WOWWWWW!!!!

 Damn, I would have dressed a little nicer if I had known my Photo' were going "Primetime" Bad things happen to Bad people....

I am I have a letter from my P that my procedures were a functional medical neccesity and NOT ellective

 Patty, I didn't have any muscle work done. Straight LBL & Mini Medial Thigh ¥. One week to the second week is significant but easy to over do it at day 6-10. When your drains come out its pretty glorious. It seems like the drain removal really woke my body up to start the healing process. At 3 weeks your feeling like it wasn't such a bad idea after all. At 5 weeks I am ready Winter Ball !!!!!

 All you gal's talking about feeling normal, I didn't feel normal pre surgery!!!! lMAO In all seriousness get ready because you are going to feel great!!!!!! Think about how good you are going to look too!!!! Looks good, feel's good, MUST BE GOOD!!!!!!!  Life is going to be changing for the better. Girls and  Boys. Like to stay but wife is wanting me to straighten out her sock drawer!!!!! Hahahahaha... LMAO

 Hi Michelle, thanks for the kind words. Everyone on this board has been wonderful. What a great board. The information, knowledge,compassion,and support here is unbelievable. I know that I will never be physically like I was pre obesity, but that's okay. The imperfections are a reminder of where I was and the life I have chosen for the future. I Love Life!!!! Those here that were at a place to feel compelled to post Pic's are greatly appreciated. I was able to prepare mentally, understand the procedures, and prepare for the "stages of recovery" by visual references and the discussions that followed. I appreciate the maturity involved and the vulnerability displayed in an effort to help others. I' m sorry to here about your lack of well you know! That gives you something to look forward to. Now, long as you don't name your "little friend" Steve while simultaneously viewing Pic's, I think he would be totally understanding..... Especially if he doesn't know!!!!!!!
Best Wishes Michelle.

Don, you've got it all wrong I'm Irish, and the sock was to cover my Tatoo advertisement. Obesity Help has strict policies concerning ads on their board so I had to cover mine with a sock to conceal my Tatoo of my ownership of my Restaraunt. The Tatoo reads;Eat at Steve's Mexican Restaraunt Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I was thinking more along the lines of a tuxedo!!!! With Bell's of course!!!

Gee Don, I'm sorry about that !!! I've got some others that you may prefer in that case LOL!!!!

Your so sweet! I new you would love the sock effect, I started to wear an old time tube sock but that would have just been showing off LOL!!!!! I'm actually very modest. Lee, in all seriousness, I lost apx. 160 lbs. but I hit the weights and cardio like a crazy kid. The areas that I could develop muscle I didn't have any loose skin. I just increased the size of my muscles in my arms,chest,back, and legs. Needless to say the abdomen and inner upper thighs are another matter. And thank you so much for the kind words. I had one opening on my left lower end of groin incision and that was my only "complication" and it filled in unbelievably great. I saw my PS Dr. Sawan on 1-13 he said don't come back for 3 months and go back to doing everything you were doing pre surgery. I'm sorry that you had a testy spot or two. You took on a lot at once, no doubt, but it's behind you now. I hope to see many more of your posts in the future.

Steve

Dasie, that's exactly right. Narrow on the ends and wide where the redundant skin needs to be lifted and resected. Thanks

Hey guys, those of you that are interested in Pre and Post LBL and Mini Medial Thigh Lift Cresent Cut Photos at 4-8 days Post Op.. These are nude except for a well placed sock. Please don't repost these. Password is Plastic if needed. I will post more @ a couple of months when the swelling is down and my surgeons skill is more evident. My PS was on 12/8/2011. Thanks
