Wow, where did the time go! I'm 5 months PO today....

Wow, where did the time go! I'm 5 months PO today. My scar is slowly healing...I'm thinking it looks pretty good considering. :)

Hi all! Dropping by to post a quick update. First,...

Hi all! Dropping by to post a quick update. First, I love my new tummy. My scar is still fugly but it is getting better. The right drain area is still very red and purple. The rest of the scar is healing much better. My killer new belly button is still healing, however.

I started with silicone strips two weeks ago. I think that I see an improvement but it could be coincidence. Who knows. I see my PS in a month for another checkup.

I wasn't expecting my hairline to be so high. Ugh. I've been dealing with several (and I mean several) ingrown hairs. Very pretty. Not! Moving forward, I will have to wax or do other treatment...its not like I can have my curlies peaking out over the top of my low risers. Shaving only seems to irritate the area.

I've been traveling almost every week since February. I've gained a few pounds which pisses me off. I'm back at the gym doing 97% of my pre-surgery training but I don't think my intensity is completely back. It could also be that I'm wiped out from traveling, too.

Overall, I'm thrilled and so happy that I made the investment in me! I still have a ways to go but I'm down for the ride.

Happy Spring!

I can't believe that I'm 3 months PO! I feel GREAT...

I can't believe that I'm 3 months PO! I feel GREAT and have no issues to report. I'm back on the road, traveling two-three weeks a month which is exhausting *anyway*. My stamina is back, my scar is healing but my belly button is healing slowly. I've put on about 5 lbs since my lowest weight post surgery. I've decided that while I feel great at 107-110 that's just not a realistic weight for me. I'm hanging out at 112 - that's okay. I'm still "skinny" for me.

I'm doing scar therapy at least once a day with Bio Oil. As far as compression and the binder goes...I'm having a little problem giving them up. My PS said only to wear my CG during exercise but I still wear my CG daily. I have a corset thingy that I wear under my clothes during the day. UGH. I'm trying to wean myself off!

This weekend we are heading off to Boston for St. Patrick's Day. It should be off the hook. I'm running in the Southie 5k on Sunday morning which should be a blast. I'm back at the gym 5 days a week doing everything I want to do. Inverted board abs are still hard but I'm working on it slowly.

Do I have any swelling? Maybe a little bit. But truth be told, I think I "swell" normally during the say anyway so it could be that I'm simply noticing it for the first time.

Hope everyone is doing FANTASTIC!

Dr. Antimarino and the staff at Aestique are absolutely amazing! I can’t say enough great things about my experience. From my initial consultation through my post surgical follow ups, everyone has been kind, professional, supportive, and thorough. Dr. Antimarino is very kind and compassionate…he’s listened to my ramblings, answered all of my questions and has always made me feel very comfortable. My results are amazing and life changing. Additionally, he and his staff have been available throughout the entire holiday season which is pretty amazing. The nurses are angels, too. All of them. I highly recommend Dr. Antimarino for the tummy tuck procedue! Highly skilled surgeon and nice guy.
