wow. you look amazing!!! would love to meet up with you sometime over the summer! Let me know if you're in town! (or i'll let you know if i'm coming up that way)

Would love to get together with you too! 

Wow!  Thanks so much for sharing your story with such honesty and inspiration.  It made my morning.
 

First you look super!  Second it was wonderful that you took so much time to wrote so much detail.  I am down 63 and am worried then its another 63 and how much skin I will have, so it was comforting to know others express what I fear and what I think I will do about it. It's really a shame that our health system doesn;t  realize that removal of skin is really important as the surgury. You look quite young, so hopefully that fund will grow fast. Good luck

The boobs are what surprised me the most too. I looke fine upright, but bent over, they are so deflated. I thank GOD for the discovery of the Miracle Bra (or whatever it used to be called at Victoria's Secret). It truly is a miracle the way it works. I had a breast reduction when I was 21, and never expected to ever have to wear padding.

My stomach, well I knew that I would probably have a panni or fullt TT. I think it will be just panni though. The rest i'm just dealing with. My batwings aren't bad....although my coworker pointed them out the other day...jokingly, but I was still mortified. My upper thighs and below my butt are weird too. Bathing suit shopping....at goal weight...still mortifying! Oh well. I'm healthy....that's what I have to keep ingraining into my brain!

Thanks everyone!  I do feel great!  Best decision I ever made...
