You look great! Your scars faded really good, I'm sure you're thrilled about that.
You look so beautiful!! Everything has settled nicely, your tummy is so flat & your scars are fading so nicely. Thanks for the update!
wow you too and the scar revision turned out sooo nice. I was bruised like your dog ear removal on my back where he did lipo. Flanks I think they call them. I love your hourglass shape too! Very feminine
Thank you so much mom_me!!
You look amazing. Thank you for sharing your story through. I am about 3 1/2 weeks post op and I still have concerns about my scar fading and what is swelling and what's not. My doctor opted not to do lipo, he said I didn't need it but I was hoping for a tiny waist line...like yours :). Guess I will keep eating healthy and excercise.
Thanks for taking the time to update! You look incredible! Which is good to know after those first 12 weeks when things are gonna look Frankenstein-ish!
Haha they do for a little bit but get yourself a hand held mirror the kind that has the magnified part on one side and get a good look at these scars, scabs, stitches and just watch how they heal each and every day. It was wild to see it but made me feel better to be able to as I watched it all going away and keeping track of anything that didn't look quite right so I could tell the doctor. It's like we look at it and say OMG OMG OMG and then go to the doc and he says nope everything looks great see ya back in ? weeks haha. Before you know it the scabbing is all gone the stitches are disolving and we have to be patient and wait a little longer before we can start massaging the scars and then they begin to flatten out. I can remember thinking OH LORD I'm going to have pubic hair up to my belly button and won't be able to trim it hahaha but before I knew it the scar was flattening out. Shaving the arm pits with implants "TRICKY" it's like trying to shave a small bowl so maybe pick up some of those small bikini razors or even wax before surgery so you won't have to worry for a while. It all goes away girls...and we are happy again.
Yay! That's what I like to hear! So many horror stories and scary things to worry about, it's nice to be reminded that this is an experience we are fortunate to have with goals we deserve to accomplish!
Exactly!! It seems we worry a lot about how much we are spending on ourselves and think little of the time we need as well in this journey. As women we feel like we just have to keep doing for others but damn girls this surgery takes hours and we go home but the time afterward is the most important so we can be back on track and while we are doing for our loved ones again we are feeling confident in ourselves and move like the sexy women we are. Bend over and pick up those toys, dirty clothes etc. and catch yourself in the mirror because YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!! Everyday gets better and better!!! I always remember seeing my cleavage hahaha CAVERN when I bent over to get things out of the dryer and thought UGH!!! But when I found myself right back in the laundry room one week after a massive heart attack I thought HA...forget about it life is too short for this sh*# and now I AM HAAAAAAPPY!!! I want you all to be happy too! If we are gonna keep on doing for everyone else we might as well look good doing it...can I get a HELL YA?
Preach!!! Haha
Hahaha
Whew!!! What a transformation!!! Congrats!! And hugs for making my resolution stronger!! I'm hitting the gym now :-).. Last couple days I had wimpy workouts. my consults are in may :-)
Thank you so much for your story and pics and checking in the newcomers!!
hi mum, I LOVE being here! I would do it all the time if I could but now it's like therapy for me. Your consults will be here before you know it! Remember that no matter what you get to in the gym they will want you to try to lose more haha. I was 128 and he says could you get to 125? I'm like sure thing...and then NOOOOOO! It just really gives them a much better finished woman when it's over because they really do remove that skin, repair those muscles, lipo parts, raise boobies and fill them up and dang is it nice! I figured it this way he will get that other three lbs off when he takes the skin and fat from my belly lol...Keep the workout comfortable and eat right and drink lots of water always to detox. Go into surgery feeling strong and healthy and let them take care of the body sculpting :)
Thank you!!! I seem to have broken another plateau ..was at 128 this morning :-) and I think now its just become like a lifestyle to spend 30 mins for myself to feel energetic. Per your advice ill just to focus on health and strength :-). I have really started to like weights btw. Lets see how my consults go! Time is flying ! Take care and pls keep in touch with the RS moms :-) we could use inspiration from results like yours! Have a great weekend!!
That's great!!! I always told myself I didn't care so much about what I weighed as long as I was strong enough to pull my loving husband out of a dangerous situation. Remove that pressure and like you said do it just to feel good...what a stress reliever too!!! Have a wonderful weekend too!

Putting up a few new picturs at 7 1/2 months post op to show the scars because they look so bad when it's first done and scary. Sorry about the flash but even with that you can see they don't stay red. My old stretch marks are worse than the new scars. I think I am the only person that had 3 vertical c sections :(
