Ready for the next step
Apr 17, 2019
I will add photos from before wls, during the journey to my current weight and before I have the excess skin removed THIS FRIDAY WOO WOO WOO.
I have been asked by many people to show the before and after photos of this next surgery; they are on the way to being at that point as well and are wondering what that journey will be like. Nothing graphic, I promise...all the ehmmm...personal bits will be out of sight.
My biggest question (and ask my surgen, Dr Chen, I have had A LOT) is how much this thing they are taking off is going to weigh. He estimates it from 15 to 20 pounds because most of my weight was carried in the abdomin so that is where all the skin is hanging around (yes, the pun is intended). I am not worried about recovery; I have all the information and support I need and I have food that is good for healing already in place. I will be out of work for two weeks, the drains come out and I get back to the job I love.
Wish me well....let me know if I can answer any questions, or if you have any stories you would like to impart.
Carry ON!
