2 Year surgiversary this week....(with pics)

Congrats Erica.  

Look at you with all that skin saluting the sun!!!!
You should be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished......you look great!

One of my goals is to wear a two piece smaller than a tankini...

I have to save up for plastics and then I'm going for it!!!!!!
The beaches will never be the same.....mwahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

LOL - yup.  Look out beaches in Hawaii!!  I'm coming - scars and all!!

Awesome post Erica! Congratulations and Happy Surgiversary, you look fantastic!

Erica, I see beauty in both pictures. Your beauty shines through from within no matter how you wrap it.

Thanks Molly.  My husband says pretty much the same thing - but as the "big girl", I always figured he was lying...

I'm just so much more comfortable in my (loose) skin now!

 You look great!!! I wish I would have posed and taken more pictures of myself before the operation. I wished I would have kept a pair of my biggest pants and shirts too. It's funny my family has never been one for keepsakes, even with family that has passed on. Maybe I have put that fat guy to rest? Sorry, not trying to make this about me, this is literally just dawning on me, again, you look fantastic.

I think it's kind of important.  I took a bunch of "before" pics, and kept the outfit I wore to my first consult (and a picture).  It's pretty enlightening to try those on again....

There are probably lots of pictures of you around....when you find one in someone else's pile - take it! 

I mostly wanted a reminder of where I came from - so I NEVER go there again!

Hey - and you motivated me to post this - with the shirtless thing - so you can take over the thread if you want!

You have come a long way and are marvelous in and out!!

Erica - you look as beautiful in that first pic as you do in the second pic because of who you are inside and your wonderful spirit! Kudos to your husband for recognizing and loving the whole Erica - he's a wise man!  It's so terrific to be loved unconditionally.  I always enjoy reading your posts and I'm continually inspired by your words.  Good for you for celebrating who you are and not being intimidated by a scar - who the heck cares about that? It's just a line on your skin. You are looking great in that "little" swimsuit, Erica, so shine on! Thanks for sharing with us.
