I'm a young mother of two, 17 and 5! They are amazing but ruined the belly! I run, swim, lift weights and take zumba, nothing would touch the belly. I was so sick of trying to fit jeans to my legs and butt, then having to figure out what to do about the squishy mass. Let's not even talk about bathing suits, needless to say the skirt is no longer needed!!! I love my new belly, who knew putting on clothing could be so different?!?!
I love my new shap and would do it again in a heartbeat! I don't know why I waited so long .

You look great! Havn mine feb 2. Did u have lipo?
December 26, 2011
I did have lipo on my hips, made for a smother silhouette but I feel I don't have curves... More like mrs. square pants :) I'm hoping when I'm bake to my workouts that I will have a more defined waist. I'm glad I did this during the winter! I didn't realize the down time was so long!

You look great!!! What was your surgery date? Looks like in December? I think you waist will show it self in the next couple of months! You had lipo and I am sure you are still swollen!! Your new figure is amazing and you will love it more and more as the time passes! Your belly button came out very nice as well! ! I waited ten years to do mine because I wanted to be sure I was done with kids. I am soo happy with the results!!
Once we can start really exercising, your body will change!!! The 20 min. Elliptical is just not cutting it, let me tell you!! I am happy we did this in the Winter as well!! Summer time, look out!! :).

Newlife4tummy- thank you! My surgery was done 11-29-11, I love my BB but it seems off center. I think I'm a little swollen on one side and it's maybe pushing it, idk. I don't know what or if anything can be done if it's off center? I'm trying not to judge to early.
Can't wait for running, gym and zumba!!! My dr isntetting me exercise till the end of January.

I'm a week behind :-) but finally uploaded week four pics. I still have concerns with my scar placement. Hoping to get week 5 pics up today. Has anyone had a scar moved?

You look awesome! I feel square. I think we had the same looking tummy preop. I am almost brave enough to post a post op pic. Maybe I will try and figure it out now.

Thank you! I feel pretty square too or almost top heavy? I feel better this week.

Gandil I am looking at your pics and I don't see a square at all. I can see what your shape will be! You go girl.
January 23, 2012
Thank you! I can't get my email to work... I feel better about my shape now. I will post my 8 week pics this week, hopefully.

Welcome to RealSelf!
So glad you are loving your results and were able to get rid of the squishy mass. How long ago did you have this done?
Would love to hear how you found your doctor.
Happy Holidays
You look amazing for only being 4 weeks post op! I am happy to hear you met with a few docs before making a final decision. Homework definitely pays off:)
