Please read part 1 of my Tummy Tuck journey, by clicking here.   Updated on 19 Sep 2012:
I woke up this morning waiting to feel my throat hurting, my chest tight with congestion and for my nose to be clogged up..............yet I woke up feeling pretty dang awesome! And sexy! And guess who gets to benefit from this feeling since I don't have a husband/boyfriend/[RS bleep]/maintenance man/suga daddy to take this feeling out on? You do my realself lovelies! So just for you I grabbed my Nikon buddy and two whorish outfits and got to snapping. Now you will notice 3 things in these pics. 1. I am ashy (Hey I am tired, it's early and only God can judge me) 2. You can see marks from my compression garment indented into my tummy and booty! 3. My swelling has gone down a lot from my pics from last week! So these are my 19 day post opt results! I LOVE IT! I don't know about you but I can't wait to hit the gym! Oh it's going to be on. Hide your son's ladies (18 and over) because Cherry is back in action! Well I gotta go look at my butt in the mirror some more! Til later my beautiful barbie's!   Updated on 19 Sep 2012:
WHEW! I just came from the mall where I bought........makeup! Yep who in the whole, wide, world of sports gets a TT and goes to the mall and only buys makeup? ME!

OK WELL THIS IS WEIRD! I now have two profiles!...

OK WELL THIS IS WEIRD! I now have two profiles! Part 1 of my journey and Part 2! Well it's actually kind of cool now that I stop and ponder on it....I am like the Kill Bill series or something like that.

The Tummy Tuck Chronicles Volume 1 and Volume 2! Suspense, excitement, humor, pain, glory and oh yes there will be blood!

So if you are a first timer to my profile please read part 1 first! If you are early post opt I apologize in advance.....you'll understand :)

So now that I am up and running again lets get this party going shall we! Well mother nature is in the house and I will say this. To me this tummy tuck was a piece of cake.........call me Zena Warrior Princess but cramps............yeah I ain't the one! If I make it to heaven I am going to find Eve and walk her like a dog on a short leash! Lord forgive me but this curse you put upon us is the real deal! But I am glad to be going through this at 3 weeks post opt versus 1 week post opt.

3 WEEKS! I am three weeks post opt. What an accomplishment! And what a reason to celebrate. I am so very truly happy with the results that I have so far. I have been extremely blessed to have had such an easy and comfortable recovery. My journey is far from over and I can only hope that things continue to proceed as they have been. And with that said, to all my sugar plums out there PLEASE do not base your recovery off of mine. I have been fortunate and aside from that I am also somewhat psychotic in that I can handle huge amounts of pain (except cramps) and I could still run into complications although I pray for different. Always seek true sound advice from your Doctor and take this to heart, he/she is the expert. I am just a girl, with a kid... a cat... and a laptop that finally had a TT and found away to make my recovery joyous and humor filled. So with that said I am going to pop a Valium........I meant a Motrin for these false labor pains and hopefully take a nap!

Have a uplifted and positive day my friends even if today seems rough there is always tomorrow and with each passing day you will be a better you!

LOVE YA!

One thing I have noticed about people that are...

One thing I have noticed about people that are aware that I had a TT is that they seem afraid to look at my stomach. They stare directly into my eyes the entire time we hold a conversation like they are terrified to try and check out my results. It's creepy, weird, awkward and strange as hell. Like when you run into your ex and he tries to introduce you to his new knocked up girlfriend. I don't know what to say to these people. Has anyone else experienced this? Well if you have it's creepy..........and if you haven't it's still pretty freaking creepy. At least for me it is. LOL!

From the moment I came face to face with Dr. Tattelbaum I knew that he was the only Dr. I would allow to touch my stomach! My search ended with him! He was the most honest, direct and caring Dr. I had encountered and his post opt care was above expectation. During my consultation all time was lost and his main focus was making sure I understood every detail of a TT and NOT once did I glance at my list of questions because he covered EVERYTHING! His staff is also just as wonderful as the Dr. that employs them. Pei, Eve and Farrah were the best along with his team in the operating room! I have heard some complain about the time it takes to get a response but my experience was that they are a busy staff but if you leave Pei a message she will contact you ASAP! Two days before my surgery I called her because I had a few questions and she could sense I was nervous and she stayed on the phone for almost 30 minute's assuring me that everything would be ok! I am still healing but so far I have to say that I am extremely happy and proud of my new tummy! I highly recommend Dr. Tattelbaum and his staff so what are you waiting for? Just call already!
