I love the before and after pics so I thought I would share some of mine. First a little background. I am 51 years old and 5'6". My highest weight was 320+ 15 years ago. I had my VSG done by Dr Aceves, Mexicali Mexico on Nov 12, 2010 at 270 lbs. I had my lower body lift done by Dr Gavin Dry, Kirkland Washington on March 14, 2012 at 177lbs. They took off almost 17 lbs whi*****luded lipo as well as lipo of the outter thighs. Today I weigh 152.4 pounds.

Sorry about the quality of the before pics but they are the only ones i have. Taken on March 14th 2012.

5 weeks, 4 days post op taken on 4/21/12.

Heh. I wore a bikini briefly in my early twenties...but I felt so ....fat then. I look forward to wearing one again but this time a much more confident almost-fifty-year-old.

P.s. I never would've guessed your age. Get this...Today I met a coworker to see a matinee showing of "the Cabin in the woods". I didn't understand why she was charged 7$ while I had only paid 5 dollars. I looked at my stub and it said "senior citizen discount". Sigh.

Hi Kelly. Thank You. May I ask who is doing your surgery? What a coincidence, I am scheduled for a breast/arm lift on June 11th, although I may not be able to keep it. Running into some bile/liver issues right now and need to figure out what is going on. That was actually the reason for the bikini in the first place as I was trying to get a little sunshine to see if it would help with the jaundice. I am dealing with right now.

Best of luck on your surgery. The one thing I will say is I was not prepared for how much swelling I had post op (about 25 lbs) and it didnt start going down until the three week mark and then disapated pretty quickly. I knew there would be swelling but 25lbs that was a lot.
