Sooo I'm super bummed I wrote my first 'blog' & it didn't upload! :( so here is take 2 lol will try to make it similar..sooo my quick story on why I am having a tt..pre pregnancy I always had a little belly, but nothing serious..was 115-125lbs pre-preg..I ended up gaining 50 lbs during the pregnancy! Once my daughter was born my belly just kind of fizzled out like a deflated balloon to the resting position it's been out for the last 5.5 yrs. have tried yoga, Pilates, running, gym routines, nothing has been able to get rid of this awful belly! I also have Crohn's disease so after a few flares the past few yrs & weight gain from prednisone I was about 140lbs, the heaviest I've been since I had my babygirl. I haven't bought a bathing suit in over 2 yrs, will only swim if I'm in my clothes, i have become a prisoner of stretchy control top tanks!! (anyone else with me?!) & to add insult to injury I have had the most unsupportive ex bf that has done everything in his power over the last couple yrs to bring me down..in an argument he even went to say once 'make sure you don't take off your shirt, you don't want to scare anyone'..ugh, pig. Well not anymore ladies!! I am down to 128lbs for the last 6 mos & am ready for my stomach to match my body! Tomorrow AM is my surgery & I couldn't be more excited, but incredibly nervous! Can't wait to join everyone on the flat side!! :)

Good luck to you! I'm sorry your ex is such a jerk. My ex husband told me nobody would ever want me with my fat ugly tummy covered in stretch marks, and a whole lot of other awful things. I ended up with a real man after him. Hope your surgery gives you great results! More power to us, huh?

Hey guys! So surgery was on Tuesday, so on day 2 post op! I must say the last 48 hours has been tough. Not pain wise as that is pretty manageable most of the time. Just really uncomfortable a lot. Haven't posted any pics yet bcuz I don't like taking off
My binder! Hoping that gets easier it just feels so weird not having it
On! Well just wanted to give a quick update hoofing things continue to get easier. Have one drain in, goig in to the PS tomorrow to properly learn how to strip it..my one complaint at this point is just not enough info on post op care! Tummy looks great not going to lie :) very happy with the results, just hoping the days get easier & I'm able to do more soon. Will try to snap a few quick pics after my shower later on, hope everyone else is healing well & loving their new tummys!! :)
