Hello everyone, well its about 3 months since...
WORTH IT$2,000
Hello everyone,
well its about 3 months since my op and I am back to the gym and glad I have had it done. I do have a bulge on one side and have emailed my surgeon today, as both my GP and I feel that it is a bulge of fat which was not contoured to the same extent as my other side.
I have been to 2 fancy dos and have managed to wear dresses that I could only have dreamed of wearing which felt wonderful, nothing revealing but nice straight / wiggle dresses that didnt look awful over my flappy skin.
I will upload a picture of my bulge, but please note I am still happy :) well you can the before pictures so you can see why.

Hi all 29 days post op and back to the gym, but...
Hi all 29 days post op and back to the gym, but only doing cardio not lifting yet and no ab exercises. Feeling good still have some swellling on my right side but am wearing the binder all day and night so it isn't getting any worse. So glad I had it done, and so is hubby now ( finally got some nice undies on, he had never seen my tummy flat as he is 2nd hubby after I had already had 3 Caesarian sections ), good luck to everyone whose ops are due.
Love
Elaine

You look fabulous and your story puts me a little at ease so I thank you so much for sharing. My body looks similar to yours and our sizes are similar also. I have heard so many horror stories about recovery that it's what I fear most. I have a 2 year old that I too had with my second... I had 7 children with my first husband, 4 of whom are still home with me ranging in age from 11 to almost 18... and then his 2 are with us 50% of the time and are 8 and 12. So we've got a house full... and they'll all be back to school so other than the week after surgery (a friend took a week off to care for me), I'm going to be on my own. If my recovery is anything like yours I'm thinking I'll do just fine! Thanks so much for that little peace of mind, lol. I'm so happy for you!

Hi, yes I have lost about 6 lbs so am happy with that and as going back to the gym and hoping that more will follow, I am really surprised to hear the clinic referred to as a cattle market, I found all the other patients so friendly when you went in for your post op visits that's it was lovely to have other people there. I think it would have felt a bit clinically if we werent all there chatting and swapping stories. I think everyone is a little nervous at first so chatting helps to relieve it. The nurses don't speak great English but a smile goes a long way. Good luck.
And hello lilrishgirl, thank you so much for your comment, wow lots of children, you are obviously really well organised to be able to have such a busy house I am sure you will be fine, just no lifting for a while! The first couple of days are the worst but I was out shopping the day after surgery albeit walking slowly and bent over. Just take the mess and give yourself a little time. Best wishes for your op x

Sorry was supposed to say take the meds, we were given 3 pin killers to take 6 hourly, then I took paracetamol for a couple of days.

Hello everyone here I am 23 days post op, here are a couple more photos taken today, I am still swollen on my right side and am still wearing the binder day and night. I can get around fine now and am itching to get back to the gym. When I take the binder off to oil the scars I can't believe that this tummy is mine, it looks so great I am so happy. Really worth having done. Went out in a pretty dress yesterday without having to wear old lady support knickers. Hurray!

Wow, what a difference! You new tummy looks great. I can imagine how nice it must have felt not having to wear granny knickers.
How have you been with swelling?
