Second Round of Plastics
Jun 21, 2008
I am 2 days out from my Tummy Tuck and I am beyond happy with my results. This is the first time I have been without a hanging stomach since childhood! Today was the first day I could shower so I took a sneak peak at my new stomach, and I cried like a baby. Even with the swelling my stomach is flatter than I have ever seen it, my husband was even amazed at how great it looks so soon after surgery. My Plastic Surgeon did such an amazing job. I am so glad that I switched to a surgeon that specializes in patients that have had massive weight loss. That is so important when choosing a surgeon for plastic surgery (which I didn't do with my brachioplasty - which is why I am not 100% pleased with the outcome of my arms).
Once I heal from this surgery I will be moving on to round 3 of plastics. In January 2009 I will be having a breast lift with autoaugmentation (using my "side-boobs"). I promised my husband that I would not have any more elective surgeries after that because I swear I am starting to feel like the bionic woman.
I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First round of plastics
Feb 22, 2008
Well I finally got my long awaited brachioplasty surgery on Valentines Day 2008. My arms have always been extremely large, and I have always found a way to hide them under my big shirts. Well now, I am free to wear whatever I want and I feel so good about it.
I am one week out from surgery and still have a lot of swelling, but they look better and better each day. They are not as small as I would have liked for them to be, but it's a tremendous improvement. I know I am being hard on myself especially since I am still swollen. I should see the final results in another month or two. The doctor removed 5 inches from each arm which weighed a total of about 2 pounds.
I am confident enough now to wear a sleeveless shirt in public!!!!! No more hanging dimply skin to contend with. Now I have big, smooth, pretty arms. Maybe down the line I will get a little Lipo to firm them up a little more - or even invest in a good weight set :)
Now I have my eyes set on getting a tummy tuck and maybe a breast lift. I am hoping for sometime in the summer of 2008 or early 2009.
PS. I am still reaching for onederland - just 5 pounds to go!!!!
I LOVE MY LAP-BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 Pounds gone forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it, I am pinching myself. I never would have thought I would be down 100 pounds in 7 months. I feel so good about myself. I actually am accomplishing something that I set out ot do. Only 41 pound to go until I reach my first overall goal of 195 pounds. My previous "mini-goal" was to make it to 250 by Christmas. Since I had a early Christmas gift I am changing that goal to 220.
