Hello everyone. Yes, I know, long time no hear again. All is going well for me. In two weeks I will be two years out since surgery. I have lost a total of 241 lbs with 10 lbs to go to get to my goal weight. The day of surgery, I weighed in at 467 pounds, I am now 226 lbs. My BMI has gone from 67 to 33. Most of my co-morbidities have gone away. No more high blood pressure. No longer borderline diabetic. No more pulmonary hypertension. I do still have some issues with leg edema but on rare occasions.

I do have my plastic consult on October 5th. I am consulting on a tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation. I am excited, yet mostly nervous. I have been on the fence with this decision for a long time. I wanted to be happy with my weight loss and accept myself as I am, but the more I thought I was set in that decision, a nagging feeling persisted that I would have regrets if I dont do this while I have the financial opportunity to do so. I dont expect the perfect body by any means, but these three procedures will help me both physically and emotionally in the long run. I can deal with my bingo wings and my thighs are not great, but I can deal with them as well.

I hope everyone is doing well with their journey. Also...anyone who has had plastic surgery done...any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks Jen :)
