$8,000
Took some close up photos of the scar as I have noticed there are bits here and there that look like they have disappeared already. Like no redness just looks like my normal skin colour. If it ends up like this I will be amazed. I also bought myself some new Jeans (size4) and I am wearing a top...TUCKED IN!!! I would never have done that before. I am worried how much money I am now going to be spending on clothes. :) Hope everyone is well and coping with their recoveries or their wait for their own TT.

Hey Fluffy Cloud and A New Me Regi, how are you going? I have been with no internet so been u7nable to get online and chat and see how everyone is going. I have to say im a little depressed, my tummy is obviously flatter and I can get into my jeans (just) but doing them up is hard and I could wear them easily before my op. I wonder if it is still swelling but I have been measuring my tummy everyday and it doesnt seem to be going down at all. I am starting getting back to exercising tonight so I think I will feel alot better once I can do that so I feel like I am burning the calories I am eating rather than just getting bigger. My scar looks amazing and everyone keeps telling me that it looks great but I just really thought I would be able to wear my old clothes by now. When I had my four week post op with my surgeon he said that I was healing well and could do non impact exercise but no running which is gutting. How do you guys feel about the swelling etc? I really hope this isnt the final result. I have been trying to post pics as well but I cant seem to manage it and I cant see your pictures any more either which is really weird. Anyway hope you both are going well and so glad you guys feel amazing. xx

3 and a half weeks on and feel almost normal....
3 and a half weeks on and feel almost normal. Still can't lie properly. I can actually lie on my tummy but i can't lift my head up far and certainly not my chest as it really pulls like there is no stretch or give in my skin. I took a pic of my scar about 10 minutes ago so I'll add that. It looks a bit shiny as I had just put bio oil on it. Anyway, it's good to see how it differs over the weeks. I'm not sure there is much difference as yet but then it's only 3 and a half weeks. I'll get there. Feel so good I could go back to work but been told not to as it involves some lifting etc. I'll see what ps says next time I see him although that's another 3-4 weeks away. Might try and get an earlier appointment with him.

Was out for a good few hours today with my 4 year old. Went into town on the bus, went to bank to make first payment on the credit card for this gorgeous new tummy. Had a wee look round the shops, got him his first watch that helps him learn how to tell the time.....and bought another bikini!! LOL. I think I may become addicted to buying cute little things like bikinis now. I tried on my size 4 (UK size8) skinny jeans and they zipped up so much easier than normal cos i had no belly to squash in at the top....and I still have swelling so my goodness it's going to be super fabby by time that goes down. Anyways....feeling really good despite being out so long today. Went out again later looking for my teenage son who decided to go on a very long bike run without telling us and we didnt know where he was. Anyway, he was on his way back by time he finally answered his mobile! I am managing to do so much more but the heat here is unbearable. I would have so loved to have gone swimming today, especially with this heat but I will have to wait a few weeks yet till the PS says ok. I'll add a pic of the new bikini. :)

Hi, You look fantastic and I love the confidence oozing from you in the bikini photo- the smile on your face says it's definitely worth it!! I saw my PS for my 2nd consultation yesterday and have gone from feeling terrified and having 2nd thoughts to being so excited!! I cant wait to get it over and done with. I was encouraged by reading that you managed to get out and about with your son. It worries me that I will deny my daughters an exciting summer holidays before they go back to school and I return to work in September. I also love the fact that you dont have to wear a CG. Happy healing x

Angela, you are ROCKING that bikini! You look fabulous! That's so encouraging to see! I'm feeling really swollen this evening so it's great to see how things could be in just 3 weeks' time. I'm so happy that it's worked out so well for you. You look so pleased with your results!
Angemary, don't worry, you'll be fine. I've wrestled with the same issue, and it's working out ok - I've ordered a bunch of DVDs so we can watch stuff together, and you can arrange play dates and other trips while still allowing yourself to take it reasonably easy. They won't resent you for it, especially when you are a super-happy mum with a great beach body next summer! Hx
