Hi lovely ladies :)! i haven't updated in a while but i have been reading some updates. I finally got around to taking some new pics. I celebrated my 1 year post op on 3/23/13 and my 47th birthday in March too. I'm really happy with the surgery and trying to get more active now. Started walking/jogging and it's going well i think. I also started doing a little yoga. My low back has been acting up again from my scoliosis so i'm hoping the excercising will help with the pain. if i strengthen my abs and back it may help. went off my dieting for a while and gained some weight but i got back on my healthier eating routine and dropped the added pounds. The ab muscles still get a little sore but they sure are tight so i can't complain too much. it's been 6 months since the rev on my hip and the scar is still healing. it should lighten up some more. Tummy is still pretty numb especially around the BB. I think thats permanent now, not a big deal. not much too report. Life is good and the hubby and i are now doing date nights :)! After 24 years, it's about damn time!! Happy healing :)!

You look awesome!! I had a BR done the end of November and go in for a revision on a dog ear next week. I plan on having a TT the end of December. I hope I look as great as you do.

Hi joy! Thank you :). My dog ear rev was no problem. No pain and healed quick. Good luck on yours. Your new boobs look awesome!!! A TT would definitely complete the transformation.

You have the body of a twenty year old!! Thank you for the up date so far out.. it is good to hear. I am only 7 weeks out and feeling the usual frustrations with size and swelling... to know that things improve as time goes on is very reassuring. Interesting re the hip revision... your before pic looks very similar to mine!

2012 will be remembered as my rewind year. Surgery was the best thing I could have done and I am so grateful to Dr Morales and also to all of the lovely ladies on here who have shared their stories. You are all brave and amazing women! Best wishes to all in 2013. I posted a recent pic. Notice the big smile? :). The hip revision is almost healed and looking good. Just a little tenderness still.

Thank you Tucker :). Your tummy is gone! Saw your pics. I had a couple of revisions done. They are a breeze if you end up needing one for the dog ear. Give it some time, it may smooth out. Happy healing :).

Stitches came out on Tuesday. Totally painless. He said everything looked good. Keeping tape on it for now. Posted a new pic of the incision. I cooked for thanksgiving and probably over did it. By the end if the evening I was hurting. Rested the following day and all better now. Ps said no follow up needed so I'm done. Once I'm healed up I really want to try and start running and getting into an excercise routine. I need to get in shape.
