Best of Luck. You might want to check out Clusie on YouTube. She has had weight loss surgery, and recently, a bit of a nip and tuck in certain areas. She maintains her weight loss and looks fantastic. She is funny and very informative. I have not had the surgery but I enjoy Clusie a lot. Check her out. I think it is great what you are doing for yourself and your loved ones. It is a great thing. Be proud.
