Hello everyone, Its been a while since I have...

WORTH IT$8,000
Hello everyone, Its been a while since I have updated my review. Life is getting very much back to normal. Work, rest and play (!) all going good. Had a second post op review with CS and all in good order and he is very pleased. Pleased to say scar and belly button completely healed. Doing my scar therapy treatment every day without fail and the scar line is now soft and getting lighter which is great. Belly button hole a bit discoloured but I am hoping that this too will lighten over time. Enjoying ever single minute of being able to wear nice fitted clothes. Looking forward to the summer months now. Nothing out of the ordinary to report, just very very thankful that my procedure and recovery have gone so well, I feel very blessed as I know some ladies have a very rough time of it. Good luck to everyone who is about to start their "adventure" on this journey to the flat side and those who have already taken the plunge, hope your healing goes really smoothly. Take care all.Suzi x

I'm so glad everything is well :) you look so awesome!
Aww. thanks. I am so dang pleased I took the decision to have this done. Some say brave, some say foolhardy but when I see my results I know it was one of the best decisions I have quite possibly ever taken and I do not regret it for one minute. Your looking sweet yourself. How you feeling ? Take care. Suzi
Honestly Suzi I havent been feeling well. I have been so fatigued and cant figure out if its the TT or what. Also my muscle repair has been hurting a lot lately. Stabbing pains. IDK all part of it i guess. Results wise Im thrilled. And the weirdest thing has been happening. I dont know if its because Ive been sitting so much or because my weight cant go to my tum but I suddenly got an ass out of no where lol. No squats required. I want to get into shape and lose some weight but I hope it doesnt go anywhere lol. Im sure my muscle pain and fatigue will pass quickly. Everything else seems too. I just cant believe how fantastic your results look. You look 20 yrs old. Will you be rocking a bikini this year?
Hi Suzi glad you are doing well. What scar treatment you using? I will be 5 weeks on Monday PS told me to use bio oil. I too have been blessed with recovery up to now, only had a very slight irritation on scar and boobies, it was a stitch trying to pop through, nurse snipped them and scars are fine now. I am up to walking 10 miles 2-3 times a week and 4-5 miles on a shorter walk. Tummy still gets very tight and swelling has not fully gone, so I do not see a shape as of yet. On the plus I can fit in a size 12 jeans and they are very loose on waist and 90% of my clothes are too big, but not buying any until swelling fully goes. I too can't wait for the summer. xx
Hi - sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Im not on the siter too much lately so life must be getting back to normal. You look fab btw. I enjoyed looking atyour before and after photos. You have come so far. Well done. You must be thrilled with your results. I too have been using bio oil but I also use from time to time the silicon strips by scaraway. Got them on ebay from America. They are brilliant and really soften up your scar and lighten it. They are a bit expensive but I feel worthwhile coz you can wash them, dry them and reuse them for a period of weeks. Good news about the jeans. Have you had a eureeka moment yet in a store changing room !!! its fab to love the reflection you see staring back at you isn't it. Continue healing well. Take Care. Suzi
I spend most of my lunch times in M and S trying trouser on lol, how sad is that, not buying any new ones until all the swelling has gone, I too am spending less time on here, like you say life goes on. I may buy some of the silicone strips see how I get on with them, nice to hear from you, take care xx
I an so happy you are doing well! The healing process seems to be taking forever, but I know we are all so much happier on the flat side!! I too am looking forward to summer, and I'll be enjoying my spring/summer in England and Europe, so even better!!!!
Hi, Dont be discouraged. You have come so far and are doing brilliantly. Hope you have a lovely time over here in the UK an Europe. Take care. Are you coming to Kent at all ? Suzi
I know we will be going in that direction (Cliffs of Dover, and other places) but am not sure on Kent yet. If we do, I'll message you and we can have tea or coffee!
I hope my tt will be as good as you're one , I just need to be on the flat side now , but have six weeks to go yet sometimes I think yes bring it on and other times I feel no I can't do this , but I pray to god it will be ok . I love you're storie about the homeless man god bless him xxxx
Hi, thank you for your comments, thats really kind of you thank you. Yes, you can do this ! I often felt like you do. Rest assured you will be so pleased with the results. Try not to worry too much (easier said than done I know). (PS the homeless guy is still in the park everyday - I have had a little chat with him from time to time, he never moans despite the fact he sleeps in a tent in the local park at night - and we have been having temperatures of minus degrees a lot lately and snow - he keeps himself warm with little tea-lights). It is so wrong that anyone should be left out on the streets - he is well passed pensionable age. Still get the odd guilt trip about spending so much money on myself. Hope your preps are going well. Take Care. Suzi
I wanted to check in with you! How are you doing? I'm still numb and swelling some, but good none the less. I hope you are doing well too!

Hi to all my buddies. I am having real issues with...

Hi to all my buddies. I am having real issues with the website atm. I am sorry if I have not replied to any private emails or tags to my posts. For some reason I cannot get into my review direct when I log on.

Anyhow, on the assumption that this is going to work, I thankfuly continue to make good progress. In the week I did get a "spitting" stitch out of my belly button. It was no big deal and was soon resolved by a lovely nurse at my hospital just trimming it back. Apparently this can occur and providing you take the appropriate action ie. trimmed back or removed, it should cause no problems. In fact, it hadn't hurt me at all. I just thought it was where the BB was healing as was a bit of loose skin. I had been tugging on it gently to remove it for a couple of days until I had a light bulb moment and thought mm actually, you probably shouldnt be doing that, it might be a stitch - Bingo... it was a stitch. lol...

Apart from that, everything is cool. Work good, no swelling at the end of the day. Probably no need to wear CG's now but I will for a little while yet coz they make me feel "secure". Its lovely to wear jeans again and to not have a muffin top or pouch under the waistband....

Take are buddies... For anyone having surgery this week, I wish you the very best of luck, to my buddies alreay on the flatside, take care of yourself.

Suzi

Hey... how you doing ?? Ive never been anyones inspiration before (chuckle)..... fanks... thats nice to know.... tick tock tick tock.... not long now !! HOWW EXCITING.... managing to avoid those germs still I hope ??
Yep managing to keep the germs away!! Its too cold now for them now, trouble I have now is too much snow, we had 5ft fall overnight Monday night, and what with the gales we had 12ft+ snow drifts to contend with, snowed in and was begining to worry as we had no way of getting out! until we saw the calvery of 5 tractors and diggers to get us out Ive never been so happy to see them :-) Friday is supposed to be another bad snow day for us, just hoping and praying that I able to get to the hospital next Wednesday. How are you doing now? xx
You look awesome
bless you. Thanks a lot. It took me ages to get around to having this op but WOW.. I am soo pleased with the results. You will be to. Take care my friend. Suzi
Your welcome enjoy your self
Suzi your post are always so sweet and gentle. I bet your a sweet soul. Spitting stitches seem to be the word on the forums for this time in recovery. I'm sure mine are coming soon and I will be on the look out. Happy healing :)
Thats so lovely of you to say that. Been trying to use the site for a few days but had real issues with it. Cannot log in, had to change my password. What a mare. How are you getting on ?? Suzi
In doing good except a massive severe reaction to poison oak. My body is covered in itchy hives and my face swelled up like a troll but I'm on prednisone so the swelling is gone but still itchy. Tum wise doing great!
wth is poison oak... ? like a troll - shouldn't laugh but you really do make my sides hurt with laughing.... I hope the swelling is going down now. Have you had a good day ? Suzi
Poison ivy sumac? Poisonous plant. If you saw the pics you split a stitch! I'm at the gym now...on the ellipical very slow and nose down in my phone. Everyone must think I'm the biggest slacker! In just feeling it out.
So glad to hear you are doing well. I'm sure it will continue to do so xx
Hellooooooooo my fellow Brit! I have been lax in my updates too - shows we're getting back to our normal lives, right?! Am glad you're doing OK - hope you're not too surrounded by snow right now!!!
hay ha... yes, me to I'm afraid. Ive tried to use the site a few times but it hasnt let me in, or I havent been able to see reviews. very frustrating so I gave up for a while. Glad to see you are still doing well. You look incredible. In the south east we havent got too much snow, it was a bit touch and go for a while earlier in the week but has cleared a lot from here now. Up north they have it particularly bad. you know what its like in the UK, a little bit of snow and we go to pot, transport grinds to a halt and we all start moaning (but secretly enjoying it) !! Oh its good to be british !! What you been up to my friend ?? Suzi xx

Just a quick line to say thank you to those who...

Just a quick line to say thank you to those who contacted me re coughing and how sore and wrotten it makes you feel. It would appear that I am not alone in feeling like this at the moment as there are so many flu and cold germs about it is hardly surprising that a lot of us have gone down with something. My persistent cough and subsequent soreness in my tummy was really getting me down yesterday. You lovely ladies picked me back up and together with a gentle soothing bio-oil tummy massage (from hubs - thank you darling) and a good nights sleep... feeling much much better today. In fact, I'm back to being Mrs Positive !!! Life is good..... If you have a cough, and you are feeling sore today - Keep calm and carry on taking the cough mixture (along with bracing the tummy with a pillow or hands each and every cough!! lol.... Take care peeps... Suzi

WOW - you look fantastic!
Thats really kind of you. Thank you. You too have the beginnings of a fab result. Its just so hard trying to be patient and waiting for the pain to subside and the dwelling to go down. You are very slim and will look fantastic. your scar line is very good as well. Good luck to you. Hugs across the ocean. Suzi
swelling, not dwelling !! ha ha
Good to hear you are on the Positive side once again and feeling much better. I am just patiently (not) waiting to get mine done. lol
awww.. 5th March seems such a long way away but really it will come around so quickly for you.... By the time it gets here you will be so clued up on what to expect. This site is so helpful isn't it. Take care. Suzi
Good to hear you are doing well and you seem back on tracks. Love from across the ocean my dear friend [RS bleep]
Hi, thanks a lot mate. Feel lots better. In fact, today at work I even forgot that I had recently had surgery, didnt think of it once. Strange but true. Just got on with my day. I even forgot to moisturise my tummy lunch time.... doh.... I've been so lucky with the whole journey, I feel very blessed. Some ladies have it tough. how you doing ??
Brilliant recovery for you Suzi, I hope mine goes as well. Me and Hubby have had the cold lurgy just about going now thank god, I had a course of antibiotics for a sinus infection yuck. 6 more sleeps and it will be my day, can't wait and this week seems to be flying by. You have a really good result well done hun. xx
Your doing grand girl! I hope I can get back on the straight and narrow after my op! 2 weeks tomorrow ekkkkkkkkkkk xx
