I had my abdominoplasty last Thursday, August 23rd. Now its over! I am about 3 to 3 1/2 lbs lighter after the doctor removed the excess skin. And let me say, my stomach is so tight! But it hurt more than the original gastric bypass surgery did. My abs hurt trying to get up, down, in and out of everything… chairs, cars, and I am sleeping half the night in bed and in the recliner. But it is getting easier.

I cannot believe how much different the stomach area is… still a bit swollen but immediately there were some wonderful results. The scar looks a little gross, I must admit. The doctor moved my belly button so it looks gross too. I am on the mend… Now I can’t believe the weight loss journey is over. I weighed in today at 119 lbs. Far cry from over 10 mos ago when I weighed in at 251 lbs. That is a total loss of 132 lbs!
