LOVE all the comments that you are getting. I am sooo excited to get to where you are! I really just can't wait to get to 8 weeks so that I can hold my babies again!!! woot!!!

Lucky you!! How much did the skin weigh, if you don't mind my asking?

He took 7lbs off my, I got to the see the pictures of what he took off. NASTY!! My doctor was very surprised actually he thought it would only be 3-4lbs.

Did they show you those pictures at one of your follow up appointments?

definitely isn't pain free but it wasn't too bad.

Holy buckets! I hope they show me mine too! I was told almost 3 pounds of fat and 13 inches of skin. She didn't tell me the weight of the skin though.

And yes, I will agree with Mj. There is some pain but actually not nearly as bad as i thought it would be! Just stay on top of your pain pills. :-D

You look great!

I had one years ago, the scar will eventually turn silver, it took mine about a year to do so. I will take the scar anyday to have a flat stomach! Wait until you shop for clothes and you dopn't have to worry about holding your stomach in

I still love mine after all these years and would do it all over again if I had a choice...

Wow ... what a big difference. I am so glad you are nearing the end of it. Getting back to exercise will feel like such a gift, but take it easy! Keep posting those after pics!! :happy:

I am so incredibly jealous. Really I want to cry. I want a TT so so so bad. I don't have the money and the time off work :-( one day I suppose. My belly looks just like yours and I have worked and worked to tighten my core and its just not there. I ve had 2 bigger (8.5lbs) c-sections. I think I will ask my OB for referals next time I go though. Oh how I wist I were you. You look amazing!!!! But really did it hurt? how long were you imobile? Do you work? If so how long are you off?

Nice to see an Oregon Fan!!

That looks really good, especially for 6 weeks! Have you had much of an issue with swelling? I've been looking into this, should I need it (and I think I might, due to muscle separation, but I'd like to lose as much weight as possible first), but the residual swelling makes me nervous.

Oh, and if you haven't been to RealSelf.com, take a peek, they have some fabulous TT boards over there.

You look fantastic, nice flat tummy, you are so brave, and congrats on your weight loss.:):)

You look great, thank you for sharing!

You look awesome!!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you qualify for insurance to cover the surgery? I'm hoping to qualify once I hit my goal weight. Not only will I have lost lots of weight, but I also carried twins. So. My tummy is awful
