Hey everyone! I found some scar treatment for 21...
WORTH IT$7,500
Hey everyone! I found some scar treatment for 21.00 bucks at Rite-aid. It's called Scarguard and it's also silicone based. You just brush it on twice a day, it kind of smells like nail polish lol but it keeps the scar from raising and lightens it up. I also massage that bio oil all over my tummy.
You know one of the best experiences from all this is that I don't have to shop for clothes that hide my tummy anymore and wow I actually look for tightfitting tops and my jeans don't fold out at the waistline anymore. The hard part is keeping that weight off haha but my tummy doesn't swell too much anymore. I still sleep with my compression garment and don't wear any garment during the day. I'm just waiting for that 3 months target to start really working out!

Wow! Can you believe it's already been 2 months/8...
Wow! Can you believe it's already been 2 months/8 weeks!!! I went for my follow-up appointment today and everything looks good! I got cleared to get in pool yaaaay! I still have to take it easy though. I am very happy with my results except for the swelling in the evening and my too tiny bellybutton...but totally fixable, for now I just have to stretch it a little bit by lubing and inserting something that may fit, I heard of marbles but they too big hahaha...it's cool though! This is still better than that nasty stretched out skin flopping over hahaha
Either way i'm getting back on track and start dieting, no fried foods for me. I take the lipo-den and vitamin B12 shots they help me stay on track. I'm still wearing light garments, it just feels weird not to, idk I think I just like the feel of support. I also was told to massage my stomach and start using silicone scar treatments? They have some for 70.00 bucks...maderma not an option idk why! For now I'm just using bio-oil. I'm on the prowl for something a little bit cheaper hahaha
Tomorrow when I get ready for pool I take some pics! Yaaaaay pool it is so hot over here in SoCal!!!

Hi My Time, congratulations on your amazing results! Can you tell me how long you were "smoke free" before your surgery and if you had any worries about the wound healing? I am due for a full TT and MR on the 18th July and I am terrified that something will go wrong because of my being a smoker. I gave up a couple of weeks ago on the advice of my PS but it till concerns me a great deal.

Honestly I cut down to like 1-2 ciggarettes before surgery from about 6-8 a day. After surgery I didn't smoke any at all because that is the most critical time and plus I was terrified of not healing right. I know how you feel that was the hardest part for me. Just whatever you do cut down to 0 and don't smoke for the first month at least to prevent complications. It's kind of easy because the meds relax you...Good Luck and you really can do it! Tell yourself your a non-smoker and look up a stop smoking website forum...they help too.

Okay I'm starting my light liptical! I feel good! I still wear my spanx because I feel better in them, it may just be a habit...idk. Sometimes I feel like I overdo it but I just have to listen to my body...I have been getting so many compliments! I love it!

You look awesome! I have a question though about the skin is it nice and tight or is it still a bit loose? When you bend forward is it still in place or hang?

I was talked into abdominal lipo and did not have the muscles tightened (a regret that I was scared would happen) oh well. So yes I can suck it in a lot. But I do have alot of hanging skin when bent forward and I can still grab some above and below my BB. Not sure if I'm overly happy with my results. Yes the apron is gone but I paid for alot more then that!

Did you have a full tummy tuck but without the muscle tightening? I've heard that that can happen...talk to your P.S. and see if he can fix it...Wishing you all the best...

Thanks! Yes I had a full tummy tuck just not the muscle repair. Just dissappointed because of the almost $10,000 price tag.
That is excellent news! Thank you:) I will make a trip to Costco today because I am about out.
