Loose Skin Before Tummy Tuck - Prepare Yourself!!!

[sabrinacle]

did insurance help pay for any of this?

[MissTbabyWLS]

I commend you for your courage. I am so happy to see your weight loss journey and I only hope that I am as courageous as you. My surgery date is Dec 20, 2011

[PrettyBrownDollface]

Did it ever hurt? It looks a bit painful, like its a little heavy to carry around & I applaud you as well for having the courage to make this video, I don't think I could ever do something this brave :)

[ShireLily]

Thank you for posting this!!! You are an inspiration!

[myiphonerocks3gS]

U r very courageous. Some say that is the easy way out. I disagree. I guess I don't understand why people would take that route and just not eat healthy? So, diet is torment and eating those vegetables is torment, bit that doesn't compare to what u put ir body thru. Not only that, but more cuts after to rid the excess. It's just sad that people resort to that when there is an easier and more healthier way.

[amchomemaker]

Congratulations on your courage. This is very encouraging. Videos like this really are helpful

[77shellie]

Correction* a lot of loose skin, darn auto correct lol

[77shellie]

Wow, you had a pot of loose skin. I just watched your tummy tuck post op video. You look great now. I just had a tummy tuck today as well :). Don't let anyone discourage you. You look amazing. Congradulations, you've accomplished alot! And thank-you for documenting your surgery. :)

[localSickened]

i have loose skin too but itlooks normal not like this

[Mattyuk1]

The reason why you shouldn't have belly stapled = fast weight loss = no skin recovery time.

[superhowtoloseweight]

This is intertesting. Waka video!!

[GothBBW]

I have to ask - does it just totally give you a mind trip when you watch your first videos!? You look like a TOTAL different person. What does that feel like? Seeing the old you? :)

[julieswahn]

Oh Allison, I just love you for -- as you say -- having kept it real and still keep it real to this very day! You haven't had your surgery yet as I type this (it's 03.00 here Thursday the 8th in the a.m.) but I know it's gonna go well. I'm so excited for you because it's going to take a load off you as far as getting around goes. Once that darned pain subsides, you'll be bopping around and having a blast! Oh, and btw, you have the cutest bum, girl! Lots of love your way :) Julie!

[GothBBW]

Hey, sweetie. I just discovered your videos. I am going to pray for you and the success of your surgery. Keep the faith and know that He's with you every step of the way! *hugs*

[SarahWillBeSkinny]

You've blossomed... your "true colors" shine through now, and you're so gorgeous! The REAL Allison is here! Thank you for being so real, that's why I just love you so much! I can't wait to watch the transformation!  *hugs* ♥

[123dietdrpepper]

Allison, I have taken the liberty of adding you to my pastors prayer list (I have 9 pastors that meet and pray daiiy at 12:00) so when you are going under you will have lots of prayers being said for you in addition to my prayers.

Thank you for sharing these personal intimate details of your loose skin as I can only imagine this took alot of courage. By posting & keeping it real you have helped many others prepare for their journey with loose skin. ((Hugs)) and Blessings dear.

[abbeymore1]

HI ALLISON!! ALL THE BEST. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING. PLEASE KEEP US POSTED. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD, YOU'VE DONE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WELL!! GOD BLESS!

[LapGyrl]

WOW all of that is going to be gone after tomorrow! I'm curious, did you get rashes or skin breakdown between the folds? Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see the results!! I will be praying that all goes well.

[TandMBlackwood]

Just think all that extra skin will be gone tomorrow kind of surreal. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, may you have a quick recovery...

[blueyedaxo]

I have 100 lbs to lose so thank you for showing this! I need to know what I'm in for! GOOD LUCK!

[Skyreader1]

If you don't mind my asking what is it going to cost you just for your tummy tuck? Is it an all inclusive cost. I have excess skin not so much from losing weight from my rny surgery as was a 50 lb. tumor that was discovered at the time of my RNY. My upper thighs are a mess although not as scary as they once appeared during the first year post op. And of course the girls disappeared on me all together so augmentation and lift are in my future as well. Keep u in my prayers that all goes well. ox.

[candycoatedcenter]

you rock - im pre op but i think that this was great of you to post it is real ! I'm so excited to see you post op- i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

[KyoshoBallard]

Thank you so much for showing this. I know you started at a much higher weight than most people on youtube, and it's nice to see something closer what I'm in for. Assuming I can ever get the surgery. Anyways, congrats on the plastics. I can't wait to see your future videos.

[cosmobud]

Make sure Scott has my phone number!!!I wanna know how your doin!My love and prayers go out to you tomorrow and always <3 I've been thinking about you a lot lately.Love ya bunches :)

[misspeaking]

Wow, this really just showed how much progress you've made. You're going to be so tiny once it's all gone! Good luck tomorrow! <3

[yvette800]

I will be praying for you and boy are you going to look even smaller take care and be blessed.

[Sabreeus]

YOU BETTER GOOOOOOOOO GIRLLLLLL YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD! don't worry they are going to fix every tight and right!. Good luck Love ya!
