WORTH IT$6,500
Well I had an extra minute and not going to lie I love my new stomach scars and all! A lot has gone down with this journey... My fiance/ bf of 3 years and I have broken up. Its been pretty rough..and its different because not only do I have to start over I have to start over with this giant scar which yes I said I love my new stomach scar and all...Just dont want to explain scar to others :/ also my other concern is weight gain...I was told to do not situps or ab workouts for 6 months but anything else is a go...IDK i just am so worried about gaining weight and ruining everything...

What a transformation! This gives me hope, as I'm having surgery Wednesday and will be in a 2 piece at 4 months post op. hallelujah!! Sorry about the break up. He's missing a rockin bod- to bad for him. You could come up with a fun story about the scar though. Maybe something that involves saving a litter of puppies or helping a kid out of a tree :)

Just run! You won't gain weight as long as you do that cardio. And hey, I still have your number, you can talk to me anytime. I'm sorry to hear about what happened with you and your fiance. You look great in a bikini! I just wish my butt and legs were like yours lol. my dr. said that my lose skin was every where, so in order to fix that i will have to have even more surgery. its a bummer!

I wish I had something to be saggy ha and I took your advice...well actually Ive been running more at the gym anyways but last night I took it to the extreme and just went for a super long run around my neighborhood. I thought my chest was going to explode lol PS we still need to get kids together sometime, could be fun..maybe swimming now that our stomach are flat!

running will always do it for you..its a long workout than like weightlifting, but its what keeps it off for longer anyway. i started doing squats with weights to help my butt but then on my follow up with my ps, he told me that there's no point cause its just loose skin, not fat, so it wont go away just like my stomach. buncha b.s what these children did to me! lol. probably gonna get a butt lift next yr, think its gona be a little cheaper luckily...and yes to getting together! im always stuck in the house with my online classes, need to get out!

You look amazing!! I'm having surgery with the same doctor next Wed. Any suggestions or great news about him? Or bad too, lol. He seems pretty great just in the initial consultation. He sure did an awesome job with your stomach. Could you tell a difference from the lipo? They really stress that they recommended it to me. Thanks for any responses :)

You probably should just get the lipo while you are there..it will give you the best results sculpting wise...This dr uses staples.. a lot don't I was surprised. If you look at the first pictures after my surgery you will see all 100 something staples its pretty nasty but they come out painlessly.

I did already pay to do the lipo of the flanks. Wow, I had no idea that he used staples. I wonder if it's because he's also an OB and does that for c-sections. Besides that were you really happy with your care? Your results look awesome.

Yeah he does a good job..I live in Spfd though so driving an hour and 15 mins to see him is kind of a pain..Anyways you probably wont see this because I think you said you were having surgery today? Good luck!

It's actually next Wednesday :) So one more week. Yes, I'm thinking that is probably a pia also. I'm in Ozark so will be doing that drive too. We are planning on staying in Branson (family) the night of the surgery as he said not to be more than 30 minutes away, then also for the follow up the next morning.

So 12 days not much is new...Started back to work on Monday. Taking it easy while I can. Been working from home some, taking it easy. I walk around every where looking like a hunchback which is not attractive but I am starting to feel happy about my decision. Granted the Scar is nasty looking which is normal but my stomach looks flat and there are no stretch marks. I actually feel positive about the future. I feel good that in the future maybe not this Summer depending on how scar behaves but by next year I will probably be wearing a bikini for the first time since I was a teenager. Even if my scar still shows a little I dont think I'll even care. My stomach looked like an old lady's saggy butt it was gross. I have not been happy with my appearance in 6 years to think that could start to change is uplifting for me!

Hi! I had my MM on the 7th and I feel great! You look really good! I'm a tiny bit hunched in the morn and sometimes by the end of the day but other than that I'm pretty straight for having the TT...I'm sure people think I have bad posture! Pretty soon we will be back to normal and all this will be a memory! Take care ;)

Yes!! I am just waiting for some old lady to tell me to stand up straight! Because I am the same way about being more hunched in the morning and night..and also after sitting for awhile when I get up I feel pretty hunched.

10 days Post op and I am at home working..have to go to the office tomorrow looking like Quasimodo ick :(
So I have a question they had so much tape and crap all over my stomach and sides it left all that sticky residue and its stills on there... It hurts to like scrub on it but I want that crap off..any suggestions to getting it off?
Well other then that just practicing in my head on how to answer people when I have to go into office tomorrow..."i had surgery, its personal.' ' I had abdominal surgery for a female issue." ha I just know there will be questions and I dont want to answer any of them.

Try to use baby oil with a wash cloth, that seems to help and also if your using tape try paper tape it's doesn't leave residue.. Good luck at work, happy healing
