Omg that is a lot. Dr egari. Have to check and make sure I am spelling right. He is in Bellevue. The liver thing is scary. Hope you get well soon. If you have any thing to share to help out please do. I was hoping to go back to work in two weeks what do you think

Great choice! Dr Egari and Dr Dry are two of the best doctors in our area when it comes to plastics for people who have lost a great deal of weight. If I had not decided to go with Dr Dry I would of gone to Dr Egari. However, I have decided to use Dr Rand in Bellevue for my facelift as he is know for faces to be his specialty.

Dr Dry gave me a walker, shower chair and toilet riser chair to use until it was no longer needed. I found these to be valuable during the first part of recovery so if Dr Egari's office does not provide those, make sure you have them. Definately the walker and dont over do it even if you think you are doing better because it will catch up to you. Also, I needed help for about 10 days so make sure you have that planned.

By the way, what part of washington do you live in? I live in West Olympia.

Best of luck with your surgery. I know he will do a great job. Its a pretty tough recovery, but oh soooo worth it!

We live in Olympia off of Marvin....I really liked Dr Egari...he made me feel good. I went to a couple of other ones but they did not feel right. Thanks for the tips...we need to keep in touch.

You do look great. That swimsuit is cute, but I'd prefer purple.. lol

I have never worn a bikini, NOT even when I weighed 145 back when I was in the army. I don't think I will put one on after I have my surgery and lose my 2nd body... I always wore 1 piece swimsuits and up until 2 yrs ago, I wore shorts and a t-shirt to swim in.

Growing up, we were not allowed to have bikinis. And now being this size, I wouldn't wear swim suits cause I wanted to hide the fat.... 25 yrs of being big/fat, it's going to take a lot of work for me to get out of the hide the fat routine.

Thank You! Well let me say, I never thought in a million years I would ever be wearing a bikini and without the lower body lift I sure would not of ever attempted it then either. Now with everything nice and tight, tummy, mons, butt hips and outter thighs and being a size four, you bet I will be wearing a bikini, at least in my front yard which is where that pic was taken. :)

I was told that after my procedures I will wear smaller clothes. What size were you wearing before the procedure?

Thanks for posting pics, i'm on a waiting list for a tummy tuck and am trying to get my act together and re-lose the weight i've regained before seing the surgeon. Also a little chicken about having the surgery.

Congrats and enjoy the bikini!!

Thank You. It is a little scary and its a pretty tough recovery but if you ever have the chance I say go for it, it is sooooo worth it.

Wow what a fantastic job both weight loss wise and surgery wise! Thank you so much for posting pictures! I have at least twice as much as you in my tummy area and arms legs, etc. but my own md says ps won't operate until I am below 200# (Currently 264) oh well! I am almost 4 years out, down from 450+ # and relatively happy. Would love to be smaller, but seem to lack some motivation for some reason.
You however look fabulous!!! So happy for you!! You give me hope that before I'm dust in the wind I might be able to look good in a one piece bathing suit!! Take care & keep up the good work too! Mary
