Finally some new pics!
WORTH IT$14,000
So I finally took some new pics tonight after my shower. The red lines you see under my breasts are just from my bra band. Right breast still has some stretching to do in the bottom so it looks like I'm a bit uneven. I still haven't started any silicone scar treatment, but will order that this weekend. I am doing
well except just the last several days I've
noticed a stabbing pain just under my bb
and just a little to
the left. Will call PS tomorrow to see
what it could be. Hoping its not a split
stitch in my abs but maybe a pulled
muscle. Been having sneezing fits a few
times this last week and that doesn't feel too good even at this stage! Hope all of you are either on your road to recovery or getting ready to join me on the flat side! I'd still do this all over again in a heartbeat!

Wow, twinnie, you look GREAT! Yours scars are healing nicely. I looked at your befores again just bcz I feel like it's been THAT long! What a change!! I bet you're beyond the moon in happiness... and I'm so happy for you, too. I think of how far we've come, now on the 'other' side. So so glad we went on this journey... :)

Hey girl! Yes, I do agree! So happy I got this opportunity! Now I just have to tone up my jiggly parts and I'm good to go! Lol

You look so good doll. Scars are healing so nicely and I really dig your little belly button! I admire all of the positive energy you bring to this place. I hope the clock moves faster so you can start the gym and continue to see more results. Again - you look amaxing. :)

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words! I'm trying hard to do/not do things I'm supposed to do. You are looking good yourself my RS friend!

Wow! What an awesome transformation Newlook! Your tummy scar looks great for just a month PO! You are absolutely right! This is a long term commitment, but we can do it!

Hey twinnie! Haven't heard from our "triplet" littleirishleo in ages! Where is everyone? Quietly healing? Back to ho-hum life as usual? Had to look at your scars again and they are looking awesome! Mine are still red but I stopped micropore tape and now just air-drying. Actually, I'm not using much of anything anymore... slowly stopping all my different meds and creams. Feel like back to normal life again. I just cover my scar with Biocorneum. I've been trying coconut oil just as a "lotion" but I totally feel like something's baking in the oven!! ...Macaroons anyone?? :D

Haha! You're too funny! Nothing going on much here, just healing. Am going to get my silicone scar strips this week. I've only been using cream my ps suggested. Scars are healing nicely, no openings or issues. Haven't bought any pretty bras yet,, haven't gotten around to being sized. (I hate the thought! Lol) Busy with grandkids and work. Will post soon when I get sine pretty things to wear;) Hope you're doing well and healing nicely!

ugh - I should just mail you mine. I'm done with scar strips and never used any of my bromelain tabs. Wish we all lived closer so I could just donate it all away. Bought way too much stuff. I'm down to finishing my last jar of arnica pellets (altho like I've said before - not sure why I'm still taking them! Habit, I guess... LOL) After showering, I just use Biocorneum on my scars. That's it - that's the routine. And then there was one. hahaha...

I finished my Bromelain tabs as well as the arnica. I think it helped me heal a bit faster than I would've without them. What is biocorneum?
September 29, 2014
Well, if your scar healing is any indication of the uses of Bromelain, then you should be the poster child! :D Biocorneum with spf30 is a scar cream. My PS only recommends it (and sells it for $5 more than amazon, might I add). It's pretty expensive! But hey, if it works - I'm in. I can't say for sure if I see any really "wow" results yet. Many other PS's on RS recommend it too. I do like it bcz it has a built-in silicone barrier so I don't need to use scar sheets and didn't really need the micropore tape (just read someone else that someone used Biocorneum+micropore tape). Just spread the Biocorneum on and it's a quick-dry, non-greasy silicone barrier - it says apply 2x/day on the bottle. Now that my R hip wound has closed, the fade and heal is just a waiting game.

Feeling more like myself every day!
Hello ladies! Hope you're all doing well. I am feeling good these days. My scars are healing nicely so far although my ps says my scars will get a deep purple color before they lighten up for good. Good thing I like purple! Hehe;) I am still pretty numb in a lot of areas on my tummy and breasts but it gets better each day. A small price to pay for this experience I think! I have been ok'd to start aerobic exercise but no weights and no ab work. Can't wait to get to the gym! I am still very swollen in my girlie area, looks very much like a Ken doll fire sure! Ps says that's the last place that swelling will go down....great! Lol. Well this experience is a long term commitment and I'm in it for the long haul. Whatever I need to do is fine. Gotta keep my eye on the prize! Blessings to you all!
