WORTH IT$16,000
I really can't believe it has been almost 3 months. My goodness, in the scheme of things it really has gone by quickly (altho, i know many of you who are just on the beginning side of the flat side may think i'm crazy :)
I definitely think the lipo has been the most difficult of all the procedures. I am just NOW starting to feel barely swollen and a little tender but it definitely has been the most challenging as far as seeing results, too. I am going back for my 3 month PS appt. June 13th so i will be interested to see what the doc says about my flank area. I am thinking if it's not some mild swelling still...that i will be getting a little more taken off from flanks. Not really looking forward to that but heck paid the money and he does do no charge revisions up to the first year so i'm gonna request it if it's not swelling.
Hope you are all doing well. I so enjoy reading about all of your journeys. We definitely are a sisterhood.
I wish i had more time to write down all the things that i think of through out the day that would be helpful for the newly recovering i just can't sit here at computer without someone in this family hollering for me to do this or that....lol, so i will leave this being said, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions...more than happy to chat with ya!!!! I know i really appreciated those who went before me answering my questions.
xxooo have a great day hot momma's!!!

Imbnoticing I can't wear a lot of the bikinis I want to if I wanna conceal my scar but I'm starting to take on an 'I don't really care if u see my scar' mentality. Tell me how u feel? Same or wanna hide it at all costs including not being able to wear a skimpy bikini that looks good on (other than scar visibility).

Hey mountain momma, I am the same with my weight too. In fact I've been going back to my ww classes since like 3 weeks post op & cannot get even 1 lb off in fact last week I was up .4. I thought after him taking 10 lbs off in flesh I'd be 10 lbs lighter but no, I'm so confused.
Unfortunatly the bikini thing is a whole new world for me. This will be the first year I'm wearing one. I did try on one w/ strings that tie & if I tied them tight so it was all the way together it was fine. I kinda am proud of my scars & kinda don't care who sees em.
Sorry to hear your breasts are not what you'd hoped for, that sucks.
Glad to hear your doing well though, by the way I feel the same about the lipo although my area is right in front it's still kinda pootchy and the front of my vajayjay is like huge my ps said it still might be swelling but he also feels like it might need a little more lipo. I'm just not sure I wanna go through all the healing crap again.
Well you look amazing & I'm happy for you.

I just wanted to comment on the scar thing. First of all, a TON of women have c-section scars and are ok with them. I think for me it is trading idea. I would far rather have some stretch marks and scars left rather than hanging skin and deflated boobies. This is just me though. I do have amazing self-esteem and did even when I was heavy....which in hindsight is probably why I was heavy for so long..lol

Thx lost...I'm kinda finding myself not caring a whole lot either about the visible scar. Just wondered if I was alone.

I have a vertical scar and I don't really care if it is noticeable after a year it has really faded well. But the first year you want to keep your scars covered up anyway. I went to Fla last year and it was too hot for a one piece suit so I just put lots and lots of sunscreen on the vertical scar so it looked like I had a white strip over it for ever but that is ok....I also found that I needed flat material on my scar or it was really irritated with anything bumpy....I lost 10lbs after my TT but I also had a total hysterectomy but after my BA I put on a few pounds but I guess each implant is about 1 lbs. I have gone back and forth gaining and losing those few pounts.

My scar is huge & goes almost all the way around so but I feel like I look 100% better w/ the scar then I did before so I'm gonna sport that bikini & no care if people see my scar. I'm not gonna hide & be embarrassed cuz I wanna have fun this summer out there w/ my kids.
? For you are u still wearing your CG?

hi misty, i haven't worn my CG in sometime...thinking it was right around the 5 or 6 week mark. my doc didn't say i had to wear it so i stopped.
thanks for the sisterhood in not caring about the scar. as time has gone by, i feel like it's not a big deal and i know it will fade with each passing month...i'm not gonna be a slave to the scar. heck, i'm kinda proud of it. it's a symbol that i wanted to do something for myself, right? ;)

Also, i have a question for some of you ladies,...
also, i have a question for some of you ladies, too...so pre MM i used to wear a bikini. Usually the tie on the side variety...with my TT scar i cannot wear any of those suits without the obvious scar. This has me a bit discouraged. Anyone else in the same boat?
I also have not dropped one (NOT ONE) pound since the surgery, either. I'm so confused. I know i am smaller. I have been running since 6 weeks, eating healthy, blah, blah, blah...but nada on the scale. I don't understand how i can get a MM (skin removal, lipo) and have not lost any weight. Anyone else in same boat?
