4 Weeks Post Op from Circumferential Body Lift w/Pics

CyberEd312

I haven't put an update on here in a few weeks and wanted to get something up on MFP. I am healing well, still sore at times and the ab repair continues to lead the way in the discomfort factor. Just feels like I have done a million crunches. Still numb to the touch all the way around and will be til the nerves regenerate which will take time. The weirdest feeling though has to be the feeling of needing to itch but when I go to scratch it the skin is numb so I can not get rid of the itch!! lol.... Anyway just want to get an update out and for those that have not had the opportunity to follow my journey. I put a link to my blog below (which I have the OK from the staff of MFP to list) Thanks for all of the support you all have given me..

Looks good Ed.

Must be nice to see more of the results of all your hard work rather than having it covered. So glad it went well for you and hope the rest of the recovery goes just as smoothly!

You look awesome ! What an amazing accomplishment ! You have worked your *kitten* off ( no pun intended hehe) and it shows.

I went to your blog but your most recent photos Post Op Wk4 are not loading properly, they are all elongated.... every other pic on that blog works.... weird those were the pics I was looking most forward to !!

You lost two of me. Oh my goodness... I have a little bit of loose skin from losing my 62lbs and sometimes I think
of getting surgery. It is nothing I can't hide with clothing so I probably wont unless I come into some unexpected money..
Good for you... Keep living the healthy lifestyle...

I am in awe of the hard work you have done to make this happen! Well done!

joannathechef

You are amazing and brave to share so much - I have to ask how many pounds of skin was removed?

strawberrytoast

You are extremely brave, that is a huge wound and looks very painful. Glad your healing is coming along nicely and you must be so please with the result. Keep everyone posted on your recovery

I'm so glad I happened to see your post! I've always loved following when you post updates and I must have missed some in between. I didn't know you were having the surgery, and I'm so happy things are going well for you. When I tell people about MFP and ask if it really does help, I like to tell people about you. Thanks for posting the link to your blog, as I wasn't aware you had one. Sure it's cliche, but you REALLY ARE an inspiration! Heal well~

bahacca

I read right before you went into surgery, but hadn't looked at the pictures. My goodness what a journey you have traveled. I hope you continue to heal well and quickly and that you continue to get results you are striving for. COngrats!

I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. Thanks for posting.

Looks like you are doing very well and healing nicely.

Best of luck with the healing, that is an insane amount of weight you dropped you must be so psyched.

AddieOverhaul

Wow that is an amazing transformation! You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your story.

StarkLark

So glad I came across this thread. I saw a post a few months back about your upcoming surgery and I've been eagerly waiting for a followup. You look great!

I've known for a while that my own goals are going to require skin surgery. Your blog and photos are an enlightening and amazing resource to me. :happy:

Thanks for your candid posts and willingness to share your stunning transformation.

VelociMama

Incredible! They really took quite a bit of that excess skin off. It's nice to see your progress Ed. You've got a LOT of people in your corner!

MrsDrk

You look amazing!! I had a c-section in Jan 2011 and still have numbness, it'll come back in time but yea, I totally hear you on the itch that can't be scratched!!
