Okay, my scar is healing and getting flatter. I love the new body and now I think about what else I can "fix". I'm getting some scar art to apply to my belly scar for my swimsuit. I think people are amazed how flat my stomach is. I still get swelling. If I do not have a
BM everyday I get swelling. My stomach is still numb and I hate when people touch it, but it looks great. I did have some hypersensitivity in my thighs but it is back to normal know. I'm only worried to wear my swimwear in front of my teenage son.

More then 3 months post op. I have a great shape, but honestly when you have surgery to "fix or improve" your body you are trading off one issue for another. I'm fine with my decision to have plastic surgery. I know it's not all happy times. I'm numb to my abdomen and some of my legs. It feels uncomfortable to have someone touch me where it's numb. I get nerve pain from my surgery, but my body is much sexier then before. I have a scar, which is a little high and I don't want my shirt to go up cause of it, before I didn't want it to go up because of my baby belly. So, it is what it is. I'm not really disappointed, just feel like everyone should know it's not a fix all. Your body image disturbance will not end by getting plastic surgery. It might boost your self esteem, but it's what comes from within that really matters. I admit my boobs look great naked and my husband thinks I look great and I look very nice in my new swimsuits I bought, but I have new issues. Finding clothes that fit, trying to avoid hitting any of my numb areas or scar, pain, I don't feel comfortable running or jogging.
I really don't think I would go back and change it cause I really like my new body, but I have new issues to deal with. You trade one problem for another.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel a little down abt your surgery. Maybe after the numbness goes away and everything you'll feel a lot better. Yes, there ate definitely trade offs but I think it is worth when you look and feel great. And you do!

I just want others to know it's not a quick fix. It comes with positives and negatives. I Think it's good to hear about pro and cons when making such an important decision.

Agreed! not a quick fix, patience and lots of it is the only way to get through this, by the way you look great.

Okay, one more week off work then back to "normal"...
Okay, one more week off work then back to "normal". My tummy tuck scar looks to good to be true. They say at 3-6 months it is at it's worst, I hope not because it looks good now. No more scabbing nothing is open or infected. One of the best scars I've seen. I'm by no means a health eater either. My scar is a little higher then I'd like it to be but I wouldn't have woren a bikini before this so whats the difference. I have been looking for swimsuits and think a monokini might just work for me. I still have some nerve pain and cannot get comfortable when sleeping like I did before surgery but I'm sure in time it will get better. I still have numbness to my belly and some of my legs. My swelling is not bad at all. My breast feel softer and more natural now. I'm greatful for the experience, the good and the bad.
It's an adventure. I look forward to many more adventures, but hopefully not surgery.
I did get a refund from the hospital. I was super happy about that. I like to think it's because I'm so short they didn't need to use as much time and supplies for me. I'll live in my dream world cause I like it there.
My husband likes my new body. I mean he really likes it. I would consider having it done again if I thought he'd like it.
I won't see my doctor again till December, he thinks I look great. Still wearing my compression garment and might have a burning party for it in the end. I am suppose to wear it for 2 months. The other night I took it off and it felt weird to be off. Can't please a women. Hate's it on hate's it off. That's me. Can't stand cold weather or hot, like it just right.
I know I was so scared to have my drains pulled when it was time and I thought, what are you gonna do keep them in forever cause your scared to have them pulled. The only way to go is forward. You've come this far so just go for it. It's over and now I'm okay. I need to remember that feeling in my "real" life. Just go forward, there's no where else to go.
I want to grow from every experience I've had in life.
Well lady's, I have a check that's burning a hole in my pocket.
