Hello, I have not updated in a couple years. I recently came back to this web-site after a long absence and felt a need to update my information, hopefully I can be of help to someone else going through where I have journeyed.....I am a 49 year old female. I am now six (6) years out from my surgery and now currently weigh 160 lbs, which I have maintained for the past 3 years. I have also had a full tummy tuck in June of 2004. I plan to some day address the extra skin on my arms and legs, but it is not a priority at this moment. I had been overweight most of my life lost enough to be considered a normal weight in my teens, but ballooned back up in my early twenties. I tried absolutely everything to lose weight without success. I can honestly say having this surgery was the best decision I ever made. It saved my life. My health has greatly improved, I can sit in places my large rear-end would not fit prior to surgery, my children are no longer embarrassed my my appearance, I can go into a clothing store and buy regular sized clothes, the list goes on. My self-esteem and confidence has greatly improved. This was the absolute best decision I ever made!!!!!
