WORTH IT$7,500
It's been 4 years!! So hard to believe. Time really flies! Anyway, I am still VERY happy I did this. 4 years later and while I am a little less toned because I slowed down at the gym, my tummy still looks very natural and good. :) I feel comfortable in my clothes and in a bikini. one thing I would mention, I have had back issues and I am not sure if it is related to this or not. I have to work in my core strength all the time now to keep my posture good so I don't have continued problems. I would highly recommend seeing a good physical therapist as a part of your recovery after this surgery to ensure you maintain proper alignment of your spine. I think I was too tight and because of that, I injured myself in Bikram and my pelvis/lower back will possibly never fully recover.

You look fabulous! No one could say youve had a TT. Do you have full sensation in your tummy now?
Thanks! Nope, no sensation in the bottom half of my stomach at all. I think mine is more severe than most, but it generally doesn't bother me other than being a bummer. I wouldn't trade back my old tumny for the feeling.
Can you tell me where you got your scar treatment at? Oh and you look wonderful!
Thanks! :-) I went to Washington Dermatology in Washington, D.C. I think. Not sure if it made a huge difference but my scar isn't horrible. So nice to hear from you guys! :-)
Such a life changer for sure!
Yes it definitely was!
Hi! Yes, I am trying one now. I currently live in Asia so it does make it easier to see people like that. Also doing acupuncture. But I have another condition from a car accident so I think that played into my issues with my back... good luck to you, will check out your review!

Laser scar treatment
So I had 3 laser scar treatments and my scar definitely looks good! It's been nearly a year and a half since my surgery and I'm starting to really focus on losing the 10 pounds I gained and strengthening my abs. I still do not have feeling in most of the middle part of my stomach. Hoping that still comes back.

Look great
You look soooo good!!! And I'm not sure I see 10lbs on you. Love your curves and love how smooth your tummy looks. Laser has really made a difference. Happy St. Patty's day!!!
Thank you! Happy St. Patty's Day to you too!
OMG your scar looks great as in almost invisable! You were my first inspiration so it is good to see your followups. my scar is really thick in the middle - gonna as Dr T. what a revision is all about -maybe I need one at some point to thin it out and then I could try the laser treatment. he is so amazing and I am stilled thrilled as well. You look awesome!
My scar was thick in the middle too but it faded nicely! I still have lots of stretch marks and some extra skin there too. He quoted me $1k for a revision there, so I figured I'd live with it... haha. I want the skin on my lower back removed so I'm saving all my money for that...
You look awesome and can't even see scar! What kind of laser was specifically? Thank you!
Shoot, I don't know. I was in a clinical trial to compare two lasers at a dermatologist office. They both worked equally well! I will call them and find out and let you know!
Your scar looks awesome!!!

2. You should try a chiropractor. I had back problems for many years. So I finally went and saw a chiropractor 6 months ago she has changed my life completely.:)
