Wow so hard to believe its been a year.. I feel fantastic, Im in the best shape of my life. I think this surgery was an important part of saying goodbye to something I had disliked about myself since I was 20 years old. It feels so great to buy cute underwear shop for bikinis and for the first time since 6th grade.. I wear I size 6! I have of course worked out like a fiend and continued to lose weight. (there is no miracle solution..just diet and hard work.Hope everyone is healing well, resting easy or feeling great about their decisions.

You look fantastic! Love to see inspirational pics of those further out than me... I'm 14 weeks, and can't wait to see my "final" results. When did you start to do ab work? I'm a runner too, and will be doing my second PO 1/2 marathon on Sunday.

You will be fine.. just hang in there remember to be pateint with yourself.. you will have a few blue days but for me it was so worth it. The one thing I highly recommend is a lift chair (a recliner that also lifts you to standing) I rented one for 40 a week and it was a life saver.. I slept in it and it made life so much easier. Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much. I was so scared! But it was worth it even with the seroma etc.. I love my B.B he did a great job. I did ask for a low scar but it was also a necessity because of the c-Sections they have to go below that. Plus I laughed with him about it before hand.. I was very good friends with my OBGYN who delivered my babies and my scar from that surgery was very very thin and fine...so I told Dr. Decherdt..hey look at that guys work..you think you can do as well? lol. He was a great sport and a fantastic Dr. I dont know many surgeons that would open the office early to treat an out of town patient! Best of luck to you and remember.. yes you will have a scar but a scar on a flat stomach sure beats what I had going on before! :)
