WORTH IT$8,500
One Month post op feeling and looking better than ever! Doc finally found the last stitch that was causing issues - now I almost completely closed up - sooooo happy with my flat tummy - it was worth every minute. Today was my first day back at the gym - did an hour on the treadmill - incline of 6 and 3 mph - seemed so slow - that's okay! I'm not going to ruin anything by going to fast too soon -

Wow you look SO incredible!! Seriously. You had your surgery the same day I did and you are so nice and flat on your tummy. Funny how we are all so different because I'm so swollen still. I hope my tummy will look like your eventually. Hope your feeling GREAT. Take care. :-)

Thanks Newbelle! I ate alot of Pineapple - 2 or 3 whole ones a week (still do - at least 1 ) took over the counter water pills, wrapped that binder pretty tight and drank a ton of water. I know it helped alot. Plus limited the proteins so that I could the system moving without too much trouble. Asparagus is a good direutic as well. As my husband and doc keep telling me PATIENCE.... I just want it perfect yesterday is all... am I being unreasonable? hahahah anyway friend take care
Shellybee - I also had an issue with a stitch. Mine was an internal one - I have an opening the width of a pencil...so, I get to pack it with gauze 2x day. The doc says its pretty deep. It is definitely a slow healing process, but the doctor doesn't seem too worried. From what I have read, I am expecting 3 weeks for this to heal up and close. This happened to me at 3 weeks post op, Surgery on June 14th. I am pretty swollen on that side, but still very happy with my results. My waist is down 3.5 inches so far without lipo. I had very severe muscle repair, I was separated about 4 inches in some places - very excited to see results at 6 months.
Good Luck to you and your pics are awesome!

Thanks Amy - I am excited for you too - all will be worth it I am sure of it. Did your doc do the silver nitrate thing? I hope this closes up soon - I was feeling so sexy and pretty and now I have this little hole that is ooozing yuck - it's small not even as big as the eraser on a pencil, hubby says I am way ahead of most and to get over my perfectionist expectations.. (he knows me pretty well)anyway - I'm praying for your speedy healing - I figure by the holidays we are going to be 2 sharp looking women :)
Wow you look amazing! I am scheduled for my surgery on September 20th and have all the mixed emotions that everyone else has shared. I hope my stomach looks as great as yours! Thank you for sharing
You are looking amazing!
OMG - Thank you ladies so much for your compliments - it's funny I mean I definately think I look better but I don't think of me like y'all are saying -- woo hoo it's so nice to hear it :) I will keep sending the pics and let's keep each other in positive thoughts, prayers and energy - we deserve to look and feel our best and it's up to us to make the best with what we have - go girls!

Congrats and take care!
Ok that was supposed to be HELLO....anyway you look great!
Wow, you look fantastic already. You dont seem to have any swelling at all and you seem to be standing pretty straight too. I seem to have swelling and a lot of pain in the muscle repair above my belly button so i find it hard to stand straight still. You were so nice and slim to start out with so you just look incredible now. SO great!!!
Holly crap I wish I looked as good as you! You look awesome!!
