1 year and 3 months WOW time flies.
WORTH IT$5,700
I wanted to do a fast update as I have not been here in a long time. It has been 1 year and 3 months since my TT and all I can say is it was the best thing I ever decided to do. Although my BB did not heal exactly the way I wanted it too the injections are working out just fine. If you are looking for the prefect and flawless TT don't get your hopes to high nothing is perfect in life. But after you have your TT done or already had it done, your results will certainly be perfect from where you came from.
Here are a few answers to some of the questions I have seen on here.
Yes, you will still swell after a year, but it is not to bad. Watch what you eat, but of course we should already be doing that. lol I am guilty of not following that one big time.
Yes, the scar does fade tremendously after a year. I stop using scar treatment about 4 months ago. I didn't see the need and it didn't seem make a different after a while. Not to mention the scar treatment can get expensive.
Is there still numbness after a year? This may not be for everyone, but I still have slight numbness but I have gotten use to it.
I started working out about 5 months ago but that was only because I was lazy. I could have started sooner.
I have added some recent photos.
Good luck to all who have not made it to TT land and show that tummy off this summer to those that are in the land of TT.

I am using maderma and ulternating with vitamin e every other night. During the day i am using scaraway silicon strips from meijers, it's really helped my scar. To i found massaging my little dog ear every night and using the strips during the day has helped it go down flat. You look great, happy healing!!!

I havent posted in a while so to catch up. I am still swellling to be expected. I still wear my CG just feels better. overall I am very happy with results and my tummy. I am going to Jamaica in june and will be bikini ready. I went t see my PS today and showed him my BB he say he would need to do a revision on it because my scar contracted. I was glad about that because the scar did widen then I liked. so in a few months my BB.scar will be fixed. I will have to take a pic to show you guys what I am talking about. All my coworkers think I have lost weight so it the TT worked wonders. so glad I did this. oh yeah started scar treatment two weeks ago. I am using oleeva shapes silicon strips they seem to be working good. it makes the scar smooth and lightens it up. so I will put before and after pics of my scar as well. I think I am going to buy another brand to wear when this one is drying. Hope everyone is enjoying their results.....

I have my Sx with nakano in a few weeks. So nervous. Any suggestions on stuff I should purchase before hand? Or any other advice you ha e would be great! You look awesome!

February 19, 2013
Nakano is great you will be please. I purchased allot of things I really didn't use. Baby wipes, gas X, stool softer, water, cough drops ( a must), a heating pad for your back and a raised toilet seat ( a must) were the things I used and needed. I should have gotten a cheap cane, I would suggest that. Other than fruits and non salty foods. I was good. I brought allot for bandages but didn't need them. You will get some for the nurse. But if you feel you may need them i won't recommend you go crazy, just buy a few. If you have anymore questions just let me know. When is your date?

February 19, 2013
Ok thanks! It is in a few weeks. April 4th. Do you feel like the silicone strips are helping thescar at all?
