I have been wanting to do this for a few years and finally decided to go get consultation. The only thing i am experiencing right now is alot soreness which is to be expected but glad the surgery is over with :) My doctor is awesome and takes time to answer any questions you may have.

I will post some more as the days follow on how things are going.

Well I went back to work yesterday after 2 weeks.. the days were tiring and I was sore guess from sitting in a chair all day and having to wear normal clothes instead of comfortable clothes. But all in all it was okay.

Updated on 7 Dec 2010:
It has been a little over 4 weeks since surgery and things are getting better every day. Still swelling some and been massaging that mederma cream into my scar area hoping that will help the scar to look better.

Tricia2010 14 Nov 2010
well i am 10 days after surgery and dont regret it at all. i already feel like my stomach is flatter even with the swelling still there. Still sore but getting around better each day been off pain pills since Wednesday so only took them about a week and not many the last few days of that week.

Congrats on your surgery! I know it's exciting but very hard waiting for results. Just be patient, cuz it takes time. I hope you heal fast and well. Good luck!

Congrats!! wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep us posted. Can't wait to see the post pictures. Awesome price, too.
Tricia2010 7 Nov 2010
well today is the fourth day after surgery and feeling better, am getting better at getting out of the recliner. Think the 2nd and 3rd day after surgery has been the worse so far. Also tired of not being able to do much...lol.
Ortizlj38 7 Nov 2010
I know how you feel. I'm the one who cleans and does most of the stuff around my house, and it stunk that I had to wait for my family to do everything. I felt bossy and helpless, but all passes. I am still not 100% but I do most things now.

Keep in mind that each day does get a little better. You will have days that you feel great and others where you are wiped out, but always listen to your body and will do fine.

Keep us posted..

Just checking in to see how you are doing today?
Tricia2010 7 Nov 2010
after the last 2 days which was hard to get up and down by myself,
I can get out of the recliner by myself and walked a little more today so it is getting better each day.
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 7 Nov 2010

Glad to hear that!  Your doing great so just hang in there and rest as much as you can.  Things will get easier and easier each week.

Tricia2010 8 Nov 2010

Thanks for posting your photos! Can't wait to see your results!

Why don't you make yourself an appt for a pedi and chair massage??  That would relax you and make you feel great :)
Tricia2010 8 Nov 2010
I sure like that idea, i go to the doctor tomorrow for my 1st follow up so when he releases he to drive i may just treat myself to that. thank you for all your ideas!

Hey I was able to post the before pics but now cant figure out how to post the after figures. I am not good at this computer thing lol

Hey Patricia,

You look awesome!!!  Your swelling will just get better and better each week and you will see more shape take place every month.  But you already look wonderful. 

I hope you are feeling better this weekend and taking it easy.  Make sure you take pics every month because you will love seeing the changes as you go.

Sleep well!
Tricia2010 15 Nov 2010
thank you, i do feel better each day I actually drove for the first time yesterday and slept in the bed last night :)
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 15 Nov 2010

Nice!  You just turned your first corner to normal living again :)  Hang in there and keep your chin up!
