WORTH IT$4,700
6 weeks post op today :). I can finaly wear jeans again I actualy went down a size but I also work out and eat right ( except this weekend lol but hey. When I do eat. A lot of junk I do get swollen and that with a lot of food in your stomach is no bueno. I did discuss the dog ears w my ps and he sayed they'd get fixed later on for now he was just concerned w seeing me fully heal and take care of my results so I'm not too worried about them but they do drive me crazy. There's also tiny parts of my scar that are turning white which I was surprised by yay.. Even tho I know its gona take a long time for the whole thing to fade but hey . So far I'm very happy.

5 weeks post op, feeling good nothing hurts...
5 weeks post op, feeling good nothing hurts besides my back but that has nothing to do with the TT, results are looking awesome except that i have dog ears which is ok because it happens and my doc will fix it laer on when im fully healed with no swelling. I started wearing one of those abdominal belt things to put some pressure around my tummy to help the swelling its been helping a lot, i dont wear it 24 hrs a day maybe two hrs at the most or whe i need it really. started up the gym on monday doing the elliptical machine for 30 minutes, im not gonna lie doc says to NOT do excersise yet but i have fat thighs n squishy arms and laying around is making it worse :( honestly i take it easy at the gym and cardio is all im actually doing no arm work r anything i want to make sure i barely engage my abs. I have been swelling though i feel its def my diet ive been eating crap lol but im back on the horse today :)

Doesn't the CG helps with the swell as well as helps to keep waist nice and small?

Well swelling yes.. But as far as the waist the surgery is already done and I believe no amount of pressure from a cg will keep it small I think that has everything to do with your eating habits and whether or not you gain weight after. I personaly have always had a smaller waist compared to many girls that weight the same as me so my body shape went back to how it was before my children. My waist before surgery was 31 inches and it still is. I'm also 185 pounds and 5 '6 so I feel it all depends on your body type but I don't think a cg will "keep" it small.
Hi Vanessa...I am now regretting that I never measured my waist before surgery with the belly in full bloom. I sucked in like crazy and pushed in the bulge from the hernia that needed repair. I didn't have a large weight loss as many ladies here had. My issues were the result of way too many abdominal surgeries over the years and 2 full term pregnancies. Also, big bellies seem to be somewhat genetic...Dad, Mom, Sister, Aunts, and Grandmas all had big bellies regardless of their weight. My waist is now 31 inches. My belly is flat (yay!) I didn't have lipo because ps didn't want to do too much at one time. Thinking about love handles on back. They aren't big, but now that I have a tummy tuck I see them. PS says not for six months. I eat 1200 cals a day on Jenny Craig. I have a weird body type. 36 D, yet jeans size 6...maybe a 4 now in some brands. Measurements now 41 - 31 - 36. Would like to get down that waist. I realize I am rambling...Sorry. Have a great day!

29 DPO. well ive been at my house doing nothing...
29 DPO. well ive been at my house doing nothing but taking care of the house watching gossip girl and taking care of the kids.... THIS is boring as all hell..... been eating alot out of sheer boredom and anxiety from being stuck here but havent gained because its all fibrous foods and fat free dairy and carbs no junk... thank god. Cant wait for May so i can start school again and return to my gym ( i had to freeze my account so im waiting till May to go back blahhh) but all in all im pretty good im sad because it looks like i have dog ears bad ones in my opinion i need to talk to my ps about this because they are noticible even under clothes :( i know its veryyyy common and very fixable so im not toooo worried, but besides that my results are super awesome scars looking good so far and i still have swelling all over mostly after a lot of activity and after 4pm or so... ive been reluctant to take long walks because of the miami sun ( i stay away from the sun like hell even before surgery its like food for wrinkles and im only 28 but ive always thought that) well just waiting around to wear normal clothes lol so yea not much to report except routine healing. Ill update again on week five with new pics :)
