Hi everyone! It's been too long since I've been on the site. Everything is going great! 'm 6 1/2 months post-op. My belly is still pretty numb -- keiloids on my incisions both on belly and around breasts. I got the cortisone injections which hurt like hell! I will go back in a week or so to get them again because they hurt and itch. I haven't taken any really good pictures yet -- I am down to from 179 pre-op to 154. I am working out regularly and just began jogging and doing exercises isolating my ab muscles. I feel awesome!!! I am more than happy with my decision and would do it all again! My husband really loves the way that I look as well.

I'm researching plastic surgeons in the Atlanta area. Care to share your overall results over a year later? My biggest concern in getting a tummy tuck is uneven scarring and keloids. Also did you have a breast reduction or augmentation? I'm looking to have an augmentation. Thanks for any insight.

I have the type of skin that keiloids. I went to the dermatologist and got the injections to flatten them. As far as my breasts, I had a reduction and lift. I was a DD and now am a full C. I wish I had gone a little smaller. I would definitely do it again, no regrets.

I have been feeling pretty good. Breasts are coming alive and hurting/tingling. My belly is numb in some areas, tingling/burning in some areas. I am looking forward to normalcy. I saw the PS a week and a half ago and she drained 35cc of fluid off of my belly. I return on Wednesday and hope that there is nothing to drain. This is definitely a process......

You look amazing! Congratulations on your journey to the flat side. I love how low your incision was made. Going to reference this placement at my pre op w/PS. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Return to Wok Tomorrow

I'm getting myself together to go to work tomorrow. I feel pretty good, but worried about the hunched over walk. I' feel that my shoulders kind of round when I walk a bit. I sit for my job, so I will limit my walking to restroom and heating my lunch for this week. I was advised to keep Motrin in my desk just in case. I also have an issue with clothes fitting now -- I purchased a couple pair of pants and will definitely need to do some shopping.

Wishing everyone well in your recovery!
