WORTH IT$6,200
It was 2 years ago that I had the surgery that changed my entire life!!! I love my results still, but its weird cuz I still swell up at the end of a 12 hour shift on my feet but by the morning I'm right back to my flat self!!
Ladies, if your considering this surgery I say you go for it. I have never been this comfortable in my own body since I was 16 years old ( I will be 40 next year)

I haven't been on in so long so I thought I would stop by and drop a few lines. I'm a little over a year and a half post op and I've never been happier with my body! I'm down to about 130 pounds and it's pretty much just from diet. having a tummy tuck was the best decision I've ever made and im wearing things I haven't worn since I was 16! I actually bought jeggings and wore them out in public for gods sake!!! So to the ladies that are in the beginning of their journeys all I can say is hang in there because it will take some time but you will eventually be happy with your results!

You tummy looks awesome, the scar looked very good even early on after surgery. I would be interested to see how it looks now after 1.5yrs. Do you have a photo of the scar? I wish more people would give updates, like you, a long time after their surgeries as it is interesting to see the progression that far out. Thanks :)
Hi Chris thanks so much and the scar is good, sometimes I hate it but it is so much better then the skin I had before!! I will post a photo of the scar either tonight or tomorrow. I'm not sure how it slipped my mind to add that!!
Joyce your scar is amazing, it is practically invisible...I'm so impressed. That gives me so much confidence about getting a TT. I know I tend to heal well and not show scars too so I can hope that mine might look as good as yours! Really looking forward to my turn. I just have to finish breast feeding first.
You look so fabulous!! You must be so happy! I am 1 & 1/2 years too!
I will post new pictures this week. I love my results, still have the dogears, even after having them removed 6 months ago, but seeing my ps today & I will set up a time to have them removed. Other than that, it sure is nice to wear a 2 piece & have a nice flat tummy in clothes!
I just checked your updated pictures and you look great!! Your dogear does not look bad at all!! I have a little puckery skin at the end of my incision but it doesn't bother me at all! And I've never been able to wear the kinds of clothes I can right now so I'm ecstatic with my results!!
Joyce, you look incredible and sounds like you are 100% satisfied with the way everything turned out, as you should be. I am happy also, but looking into having laser surgery on the scar. Email if you get a chance!
Thank u for sharing your results a year and a half post op. Its always great and exciting to see the progression over that period of time. U look great!
Do you have a photo of the scar of 1 year post op? I am considering a tuck, I like your results, but just want to know if the scar keeps fading. Thanks
I just posted a pic of the scar and honestly the stretch marks I have left are far worse then the scar!!! And I have absolutely no scar on my belly button which is seen with my bikini

WOW you look amazing! I just read your whole journey and I am so excited, my surgery is tomorrow and I am just hoping I heal okay! I am nervous that my scar will not be as low as i want and that the swelling is going to be really bad... Did you take any meds for the swelling? Did you have a pain pump? I am so happy for you, you really look amazing!! congrats :)
Thank you and it's been quite a journey but completely worth it! My scar is a little high on the ends but I can deal with it seeings how I dealt with that mess for almost 20 years. And I had no pain pump just good old fashion percocet. I chose not to take any of the pills for swelling some girls take cuz I'm not a fan of herbal meds. You will be extremely swollen from about a week out all the way through. I'm 6 weeks today and still swell after about 3 hours into the day!! I just keep looking at my pre op pictures to remind myself how far I have come. You will do great and I will be thinking of you tomorrow
Your scar is super light!!!! You can barely see it in the one pic, where your undies are low! So awesome and I think you look wonderful!
Thanks washington and I can say the same to you!! Your pic in the greenish blue workout pants you look so flat and NO swelling at all!! I am only using the palmers oil right now cuz I looove it and I seriously think I may be obsessed with it! I'm not sure if the light scar is from that or just lucky??? Thanks for the compliment, it means do much to me!
Oh Joyce! You look fantastic and not nearly the swelling that you described. Every day get a little better doesn't it? You have to be pleased so far, and know that even this will get even better!
Your 6 week pics look good too and I think the same about yours, I think your swelling isn't that bad either. I think maybe we are just tougher on ourselves than we should be. And yes I am so happy I did the surgery...it was worth every penny, every sleepless night and every bit of swelling that I have gone through!!
how are things going for you....i am def getting a redo hopefully november...hope all is well
