Post to 100pounds2lose about abdominoplasty
So I lost about 115 pounds, got fit, ran some 5K's and 10K's, and now it's time to take another step. I've got a lot of loose skin, it's not going away by itself, and I want it gone! It is so hard to have worked so much to lose all this weight, and then to look down at my body every day and still see the body of a fat girl. That changes soon!
I'm having my surgery on December 7th. I'm just going for the abdominoplasty now; in the future I might get a breast lift and a brachioplasty (arms). When the surgery is done, I should have a lot less skin on my stomach! I've been documenting my surgery journey on my LJ, so if you're interested in knowing what it's like, I plan on posting the whole way through. It's about 3 weeks til the big day now, and I feel an amazing mix of nervous and excited.
Here's a bit about where I came from:
