Be glad when this ride is over and i love roller coasters just not this one! LOLUpdated on 6 Dec 2011:9 weeks! 9 week pics are posted! everything seems to be going great!

Two days ago I got my dog ear fixed! I can already see the difference! It really didn't hurt much, but the after pain was a little bit intolerable. Got lortads to ease the pain! They make me sleepy! LOL! But any who, glad its over! Pics coming soon!!

Two days ago I had my belly button injected with steroids for the hypertropic scarring! It absolutely didn't hurt at all. Today i've noticed the scar is much more softer than it was. Will try to post pics by the end of the day!

Congrats! I am so excited for you. I am sure you're looking forward to summer. I have my consultation in Nov and planning to do surgery in May 2012. We have similar size and skin type...so keep me posted on your progression. I'm doing a breast reduction as well. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to RealSelf!   Your new tummy looks wonderful.  The swelling will settle down with time and it takes a ton of patience.  The end of the day is always the worst so hang on.  

Keep updating us because we love to read about your journey.  I see a bikini in your future:)

Tmonie12 26 Nov 2011
Thank you! Yes bikini here i come!
