Prayed, Believed, & Received

Here are my before and after pics so far...I think I was even more swollen from the 3 hour ride to Nashville, but the pics dont lie so I cant complain because even with swelling its a huge difference from what was:-)

Hey Ladies...hope all is well! Just wanted to give a quick update about my journey thus far. I have gotten sooooooo many compliments from neighbors, freinds, and of course my family. I feel so rejuvinated, however, I must be honest and say that I wasnt able to see what other people see until my appointment with Dr. Haws on yesterday when she gave me before and after pics. She said that I looked great...my incisison has healed better and faster than she expected. HOWEVER, I STILL HAVE SWELLING!!!!! Im learning to get over it as I know it comes with the territory. She stressed the fact that my prolonged swelling in my lower abdominal area is due to the wound which delayed my healing process...nevertheless, Dr. Haws says that she expects it to diminish over the next two months, which is what she told me initially, (that the swelling will subside more after 3 months) and of course I know final results can vary and swelling has potential to come and go up until 1 whole year so im very optimistic. Other than that, everything is fine..Im still working out and have almost perfected my gym form without modification....yay! I dont know why I feel so heavy though....everyone is saying " you are so little"...I guess we are indeed our own worst critics, but I know it may take time for it all to sink in...I still have no regrets! Regardless of my swelling, before and after pics dont lie..lol!....Dr. Haws was so happy with my progression that she wanted to take pics, but she will take pics again at my next appointment which is in October to reflect what she suspects will be way less swelling and more of my final result. She also said over these next 2 months, I should lose more weight since the fat pockets are not there to store fat anymore, hence helping my body's metabolic rate speed up....Glory to God! Im expecting the great....you ladies be blessed and stay encouraged!!

Ladies, I've been trying for the last few days to get good pics of my incision front and sides (without my goodies showing) lol! I hope these pics are good enough. Just FYI, im only using 100% raw cocoa butter and raw shea butter on my incision. Seems to be working well for now. My PS said that because of my sensitivity to tape I wouldn't be able to use the tape or strips..anybody else using something thats providing great results and worth buying?!?...if so, Please share:-)
