Hey guys! I just wanted to share with you a HUGE nsv I've recently experienced. I have lost almost 75 pounds, and last week, I bought my first bikini ever. And the best part? I LOVE it! My entire life I have been overweight or obese, and while I still have about 45 pounds to lose, I am thrilled and so proud to have the confidence to wear this bikini this summer.
Here's a before picture, the bandages are from gallbladder surgery. My weight here was 302 pounds.

And here is a picture of my bikini. My current weight is 227.4. I am 5'11".

I actually had a tummy tuck after losing the first 50 pounds because I had a big apron of skin hanging down. That's one of the reasons it's so flatlol

How was it?
Expensive? Recovery time?
Last time I lost weight (80 lbs) had a grotesque amount of skin left and thought about treating myself to that type of surgery.1 -

Yes it was expensive and insurance usually will not cover it. I was able to start light exercise after 6 weeks of down time. I got an infection and that may have slowed my recovery time. It was all totally worth it though. I love my new tummy!1
