5.5 weeks po Hey all! Hope everyone is doing...
WORTH IT$10,000
5.5 weeks po Hey all! Hope everyone is doing fabulous! I have been doing really good, my tightness in my abs is getting better and I no longer have to bend my self in unfavorable positions to shave my legs. My hole is pretty much closed up and you know what that means?? I get to swim and hit the gym! Can't wait to start doing crossfit again. Hawaii is in November and even though I'm flat now I still want to be the best me I can be! I've been so busy with my burlesque troupe lately getting them shows and what not. I can't wait to be performing again. That's where I belong! I'll post some pics soon:) happy healing amigas!

Well I'm am 4 weeks po! Crazy! Things are going...
Well I'm am 4 weeks po! Crazy! Things are going really well. My hole is closing nicely:) thank god! I've been really good about eating clean and what not so I'm sure that helps. I was avoiding alcohol but decided to partake the other night and oh boy do I regret it!! I'm good for another 4 weeks. I was so hungover:( anywho not sure if I mentioned this already but so far my waist has gone from 34" to 29". Of course that fluctuates through out the day. I still don't own a scale but I feel great. I do have trouble sleeping at night as I am a tummy sleeper and still can't rest comfortably on my tummy. I've about had it with the compression garments but still have two more months with it. I do feel more support with it on and more disciplined. I can't over indulge in food and I have to sit straight:) so I guess that's good. As soon as my hole closes I can start working out and swimming. *come on hole** my butt looks like I actually have one now that he sucked out all the fat! I'll post new pics soon! Happy healing friends.

I am feeling better and aside from my opening the rest of my scar looks great. Are you putting something on it? I have been instructed to wait till my 3 month mark..

That's great Wonj!! I think will end up with a revision also, not on my Bb but my incision. That's okay though:) I'm happy for you:) you look so great already that will make you feel complete, huh?

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about my results. I feel ok about my BB as it is now, but since he can make it better, why not? :) Why did you think you need a revision in you incision? Is it because of where the hole is? You think it's gonna need to be pulled down if there is a dip there or something?

He feels my rippling may not fade with time so he will extend out and if it needs to be fixed where the hole is at it will be because the scar left behind is big.. But we'll see only time will tell!

Hi Alyssa! It's nice to hear that things are working great for you. BTW, just an update on my tummy tuck, I'm thinking about re scheduling it in December so that I'll have ample time for my recovery. And you are right, talking to the best doctor is the best way that we can have the look that we want. I'm sticking with Dr. Magallona of Philippine Cosmetic Plastic Surgery; I've already talked to him about re-scheduling the procedure and he seems to understand. I'll keep you posted.

Hey fellow tummy Tucker's! Well I'm 25 days post...
Hey fellow tummy Tucker's! Well I'm 25 days post op and feeling pretty darn good. I think my hole is starting to close! I played dress up today and was so excited!!! All my dresses I've been wearing actually fit like they are supposed to now! I looked amazing in a bikini too:) can't wait to see the final results. Just got a new compression garment in in a smaller size. My old ones were too big. Got two more months and some days to go wearing this thing, but no complaints here. I really believe its helping shape my waist and it's helping reduce the swelling. It also gives me a lot if support in my lower back and tummy.. So I'll just deal with it. I am avoiding any alcohol or anything toxic as I want my body to have the best chance it can have to heal.. My scar (aside from my hole) has healed beautifully thus far.. My lipo incisions are disappearing too.. All and all I'm uber happy with my results. Just wish I hadn't developed the hole. Either way, that's my own fault. Welp, happy healing!

Hi alyssac. I'm 11 days PO and 5'8" like you. Have you noticed the swelling in the sides/waist and Back going down with time? Does it make an impact on the way your figure look? I'm swollen on my sides and back not sure if fat or just swollen. If is going to stay the way it is now I may need a revision. I'm also swollen on my belly. My pants don't fit. But I do see a change on the way tops fit. My husband is not supportive at all either. A couple times I asked for help he gives me a similar answer your husband gave you. You are looking really good. And is going to keep looking better

Hi Nena, yes I'm still swollen on my flanks and back but my compression garment helps keep my shape. We'll be swollen for like 6 months so don't stress:) does your doctor have you wearing anything? Yea I gave up on my husbands support. In the long run he's gonna beg for my attention:) just hang in there we can only improve by the week.:)

Alyssac you got an amazing waistline. I read your story and boy o boy you went thought a tumultuous journey. I admire your positive way to deal with your surgery . You're right from now it can only get better. I do also like your chosen PS. He it is really good. I'm glad I met you here and I'm sure you'll have soon a reason to celebrate. Your a very strong girl and you're also very young. I wish I knew the right combination of words to say to make you feel better and to express how bad I feel for this situation. In very confident in your doc so I'm sure he'll do everything to see you happy.

Hi zizi! Thanks for your kind words. I was really upset by my hole but not anymore. My problem is small compared to many of the world. My doctor does make me feel better. He offered free revisions should I need them. I have full faith that I'll be okay:) I love my new tummy and belly button. He takes great care in making sure everything looks fabulous!
