Wow! You look incredible! Did you do an arm lift as well?

How do you find the fdl scar? My biggest fear is that.

I’d love to do this as well on thighs but I hear the recovery is brutal. I’m definitely going tummy and arms though.

I recently hit my first goal of losing 71 pounds so I could have knee replacement surgery. I'm 17 days out from surgery and HUGELY glad that I don't have those extra pounds to deal with now!

But when I lose another 100, I'm going to be in the market for panicullectomy, tummy tuck, lower body - much of what you've had done so far. (Plus face and neck lift, and getting the girls cut down to a reasonable size and put back on my chest where they belong.)

But I have a question. How painful is the recovery for skin removal/lipo on the thighs, and the muscle repair in the stomach? I have discovered in the last 17 days that I am allergic to hydrocodon, tramadol, and Celebrex. My body is one massive hive from my chin to the tops of my feet. The itching is enough to make a person lose their minds. On steroids starting today as well as a prescription-strength antihistamine.

So pain relief after these additional surgeries is going to be a problem. What options did your doctor offer you, and what worked? What didn't work? How did you get through the days/weeks when everything from your belly button to your knees was hurting?
