Yes. All healed up. I should be getting this gastric sleeve soon, and then I will have an entire scar revision, with a little lipo to upper pubis. It's still very puffy! I look like I'm packing in my panties. Ha ha. I am getting my boobs done next month though. So excited!

That's right! You're getting the gastric sleeve! When are you sched for that? What do they do for a scar revision?? Lol. Packing in your panties!! Yay for new boobs!! Lucky girl!!! I need a lift and inflate!!!

I'm trying to get it done this month. Waiting on passport. Scar revision is when they cut our your scar if it's thick and uneven, and your belly button scar and sew you back together perfect so there is a very minimal scar. Yes my boobs are getting lifted, I will heal, and then do implants if I feel I need them after gastric sleeve. I will be back down to my normal weight after the sleeve so 110-115. So I may like my small boobies,

Tell me again where you are having it done? Why is it taking so long for your passport? Wow that scar revision sounds awesome! My Dr. never mentioned anything like that?? I would love to be that weight!!

I'm having gastric sleeve. It's were they cut 80% of your stomach off. Very minimal recovery, and less complications than any weight loss surgery out there. While I am not fat, I do have a BMI of 35, and family history of over weight people, so it's to lose the weight I can't and preventative as well. As for the scar revision most people shouldn't need it, but if you're unhappy with the appearance of your scar, the height of it, you should be able to request a revision. Most doctors do not charge, but since I have moved to Texas, I found one to do a revision for a low cost. Plus my breasts as well.

I can't believe I missed your last update, but you look great! How's the scar doing now? Still have numbness? I hope you are doing well! I scared myself out of my surgery, but I still want it. I just don't want to be cut open and risk being unhappy with it. I am totally over thinking it probably, but it's a pretty major surgery in my humble opinion. I am glad it has worked out so well for you though, results like yours make me still want to do it.
