Interesting! I've had a number of friends tell me this is something they experience - sans weight loss, child bearing, or plastic surgery, and they've got perfectly flat stomachs. So I'm inclined to think that my hang is a natural body thing :)

Yeah, certainly not as much as I have left. I've seen other LBL/TT post op pictures without the degree of hanging I have. Disclaimer: I am not blaming Dr. M for any of that, I realize that it's just it is. I think I probably would have benefited more from a Fleur De Lis but I wouldn't have chosen that given the option anyway, I don't think.

At the same time, it's funny what I can see from my point of view that when Jon takes a picture, I realize isn't obvious to anyone else.

Great question! I have no idea if that's normal since I was always big too! So I just think damn I look better now than before and totally don't focus on the things that are not perfect. I mean, my thighs sag, my knees are still fat, my lower arms and wrists are thick. I'm no Heidi Klum! But I feel a million times better than when I would wake up at 350 lbs with aching knees, having to strategize how to not have to walk far, not get sat in a booth, not get a middle airplane seat, etc. So I will take the weird sags and lumps any day! Maybe that should be my advice to anyone getting plastics lol. Don't expect perfection but love what your body is able to achieve :)

I can totally go braless as well if I want. My breasts were always a completely different cup size, so having symmetrical breasts that stay where they are supposed to is a miracle.

How nice to have a nice butt and hips now, right?!

Also, I was thinking about the stomach skin that bunches up a tiny bit and it's really only when I lean forward. In a bikini. Which is a marvel in itself that at 40 I wear a bikini in public. Since I could not wear one even as a teenager. So it's a first in life for me!

YAY! It sounds like you're doing awesome. I can't remember how I was at seven weeks out but similar to you, I think. Feeling really good, back to being "normal" to some extent. I used to just walk in the bathroom butt naked to brush my teeth and look at my new shape! I would marvel at Dr. Ms work. I actually still do, and I am almost 3 years post-op from my LBL I think! I also have found that when I bend over I get a small bunch of stomach skin but man, compared to how I looked before my LBL, it's nothing to even notice. I am so glad you are happy with your results and sleeping well and feeling good. Clothes fit so differently, right?
