My goodness time does fly by so quickly. I still love my results...had a dogear revision in January now left hip looks like right hip ....so I am really very pleased with the end result. I have gained a little weight..I always do with life changes ...started a new job. Tummy still looks good tho. Now that the swelling has gone down can see scar around BB. Thinking temporary tat for bathing suit season also need to tan a little..I am still going to Zumba 2 days a week ..it is just too much fun...Sister and I have started doing the 5K run/walks and now my 9 year old granddaughter is doing some with us...great quality time for us girls..will be adding another granddaughter to the mix in May.... love my grand babies...will post some pic's of tummy ....Hope everyone is healing well and wishing the ones fixin to go flat the best of luck.

Thank you emn...actually no...I cover my tummy pretty good. But for the first time ever I think I look great naked...tmi...but oh ...My husband does not say alot. I think he is afraid if he tells me I will get a big head or something..I actually have bought more dresses than anything...and of course bathing suits.

hmmm..... maybe you should talk to him about that......if you see something in him you like, compliment him ....then do it again...then see if he responds to it by telling you you look great ....enticing... whatever.... and if he does not,,, ask him if it feels good to get compliments.....sooooo, you would also feel good to get them! and no, after all these years of living in your head in another mode, you will not get a BIG HEAD from it! BUT actually if you have never read this book, do so--the original version of The5 languages of love" in which it explains the natural nature of all beings... and how showing love for some people is by doing other things... and we tend to try to foist our own ways on others---apparently this has saved marriages--- take a look---i got it on amazon

"Wearing your new Self Esteem"--said beautifully ! Because we know those first several weeks we may not feel beautiful --but TRUST the process! Sweet! :0)
