Hollee's Weight Loss Success Story ((in progress))

 A date for skin removal, that is! I got my updated quote back from the surgeon in Mexico... his results are AMAZING and the price just can't be beat.  For all procedures, he costs less than one of the procedures in the US.  I really expected his prices to go up significantly due to his popularity (he's booking 11 months out right now!) but it only went up about $900 since last time I got a quote from him.

What I don't love is the person I see in the mirror.  I don't love my stomach, or my breasts, or my legs, or my arms.  I don't love that the trauma of being 344 pounds 10 years ago left my body different than the average 33 year old woman.  I started thinking of skin removal before I ever even lost the weight, and now here I am looking further into it when I thought it was attainable, and finding out that it may not ...
