I made it through
 Guys I made it through my tummy tuck and arms on Thursday, June 4. I had 17 lbs removed from my stomach and 3 lbs from my arms. The recovery process is going well all I have to deal with is some burning sensation and itching.  I will post pictures later in the week. I must say I'm glad I had it done. My surgeon and plastic surgeon didn't recommend me waiting additional time. Now let's see if the removal will allow me to do more exercise. I hope to lose anoth 50 lbs and I will call it done. See anywhere under 200 lbs is my goal and that's amazing considering I started at 468.8. This has been an amazing jpurney and I wouldn't trade it for the world. 
 Wow congratulations to you!  You are going to feel so much better and be so much more energetic about exercise etc... CONGRATS! Cannot wait to see pictures!
 
Hugs, Melissa
