5 mo PO

5 months post op and still worth it but so over the swelling. To make things worse, since i am deployed to a HOT place and a lot, I see the swell hell all the time. Maybe when I get back home, I can see what my hard work has done when swelling subsides. The area right below my belly button to my incision is also still numb. you know that feeling at the dentist when your lip is fat and numb? thats what it feels like.. I think it contributes to the swelling too. I posted pics. you can see i am more bloated in the lower area of my stomach than i was in my last pictures a few months ago. I am also hating on my celulite but working on it. That, i can change on my own. I am also still bothered by my right side and how lumpy it looks. Doesnt seem the doc made his incision back far enough and its left over loose skin that can be tightened. If its still the same after i get back from this deployment (and ill be a year PO), I will see if i can get a revision of that area or if he wont do it for "free", then ill pay for it. It bothers me that much.

I passed my Air Force PT test!!!. My abs are sore today but I did it and it was the thing stressing me out the most about doing this surgery. The lady who tapped my waist said my belly button looked infected. When i told her that i actually had a tummy tuck 2 months ago, her reaction was "good for you!"...hells yeah good for me!! I am happy!

So it is two months and I have been back to regular activity for a while. Even working out hard with weight lifting and running. The only thing that bothers me about the outcome of the surgery is on of my sides seems to have loose skin. I dont know if its just fat or swelling or what and will go away if i lose more weight.. I will ask today at my appt. Maybe a revision when i get back from my deployment this spring. I take my pt test this sunday too so once i get over that hump, my worries will be gone with this thing.
