Its been a long while since I have came into here and updated my status. I am now 7 months P.O. :) And I am very pleased with my tt. I am one of the 'lucky one's' who get Keloid scars. So I had reconstructive surgery on my belly button Friday because of that and enjections on my incision to smooth out the keloid scar. My PS is awesome and I love that he takes care of my worries about it. I have been enjoying my belly dancing, jingle dancing and other physical activities like my fitness routine. My target now is to stay healthy and fit.

I am happy on your on going recovery .. so had my surgery in July.... I have a deep dimple where one of the drains were plus a little more LIFO is needed on other side..
I believe the cost should be absorbed by PS.. any opinions on this ??

2 1/2 month check up update.
I had a check up and it went well. My scar is still reddish and was told it will fade in time. I am using Retouch silicon Scar Band and also Miderma Scar Gel. I use the Scar Gel on my belly button but it is irritating it and so I was told just to use vitamin e for now. I go back in 3 months for another check up and post op follow up pictures :) Also I have been keeping up my fitness routine and asked about doing pilates. Got a go on the pilates, so I am stoked. Also was asked to maintain my weight. Well he said..are you maintianing your weight. I thought to myself..wow do I look like I gained...but i am fine. Infact my clothes are fitting looser.

2 month update: I am doing well. Still get sore in the abs at times. I have been jogging and dancing but rest time in a lil' longer then normal but I am fine with it. Everything is healed up fine and no more sutures wanting to find their way out. I do the Retouch silicon bands and also miderma for scars. I seen my friends scar from her TT and you can hardly make it out- you have to take a good look at it. So I am hopeful. I had a cold for almost a week and my poor abs suffered from the couch and then sneezing. it was torture but I survived. I took a bath for the firs time tonight too. I am pleased with this new belly and cant wait til next summer. :)
