Looking at the positive!!!
$6,000
Well today I thought I'd try to celebrate the positive at just over 2 months PO rather than my normal winge about what I don't like!!! I've played with a new app so I could do a couple of Pre op and post op pics. Now I'm not saying I'm 100% happy but I am happy with the difference and do think my surgeon is a fabulous man. Have a good weekend. Xx

2 months PO
Well all is fine with recovery, pretty much 100% in all my usual day to day stuff. I'm not 100% happy with results at the moment as saggy skin on upper abs getting loser so looking forward to seeing surgeon next week and seeing what he says. Fingers crossed he will do something about it revision wise. I'm still at Pre op weight so that's a good thing. Can't wait to get back to my classes as haven't been since end of March and I'm getting flabby so hopefully he will give me go ahead when I see him. I've put up bikini pics but I'm not too happy with my shape at the moment although my tummy is super flat and I do love that!!!! Take care all!!!

Nennie, my lovely! You are just looking fabulous! Seriously! I know that you aren't 100% but let me tell you... you are looking 100%. I love that bikini too... please let us know what the PS says about the upper abs.
I don't see mine 'til next month and I think that if I want a revision I will have to pay for it... *weeps* and I can't afford another surgery bill, so I am now learning to accept my new tummy and exercise my way to a lean ab section.
Good for you on the weight front too... my weight continues to be the bane of my life... I am bouncing around all over the place and I don't like it... had a slight gain, and I am seriously hoping it is weight from swelling, not actual fat!
Take care xx

Hi love, thanks, will for sure let you know what he says. I had mine done on the NHS so I didn't have to pay but they would only do a revision if I actually needed one!! My pics don't really show how bad it is as its actually wrinkled loose skin on one side while I stand straight, wouldn't be bothered if it was just when I sit, when I lean forward its like I've got another pair of boobs. My weight does go up and down by about 4lbs depending on my eating which is also up and own which I also think is because I can't do my classes. I can't exercise so I don't feel motivated to eat well. Just seeing it creep up then having few strict days to bring it back down. I've only gone 1lbs below Pre op weight and that was about 4 weeks PO. It's never easy!!!! Take care and thanks for the kind words. [RS bleep]

I like your opinion but we are all so much more critical of ourselves, it's a mentally challenging process as well as physical I think. Hope your well. X

Where did you get the bikini, it is so cute! Your little tummy is so flat now. Your so lucky not to have much of a problem with swelling. You look great and I hope in time you will see what we all do :-)

Hi Rachael, the bikini was from New Look, got it from shop but they have them online too, they are the Kelly Brooke range, fab as under wired bra like top, bit more expensive than I'd usually pay but the whole range was gorgeous!! I do love my very flat tummy, my young twenty something friend said I had the tummy of a teenager, made me laugh. No swelling and I am grateful, your looking fab by he way!!! I dislike the wrinkled skin you can't see in pic but will see what surgeon says, I know some other women have far worse issues so I'm trying to be practical. Take care love. Xx

7 weeks and 1 day PO - scar pic
Hello ladies, well at 7 weeks (and one day) PO I can safely say I'm probably about 99% back to normal, I forget I've had surgery apart from when I go to bed and feel a bit tight but in general all is really good. I've bought a new bikini as my blue spotty one was too big and if I feel confident enough to I shall update at 8 weeks PO wearing it!!! I have popped on a pic of how well my scar is healing which is great and I've posted a question on here for the docs about my flabby upper abdomen but I'm guessing they will say my surgeon did a great job considering what he started with and that he's a plastic surgeon not a magician which I've seen then post as an answer before!!!! I'm seeing his in two weeks, will be 9 weeks PO and first time I will have seen him since surgery and visit just after so looking forward to seeing what he thinks. Anyway love to you all and happy healing to those on flat side.

It is fine Nennie, I guess it is to be expected being as I bend over and stretch my back as well all the pressure is there when I sit n lay down. I was out in the street yesterday for too long. Its a lik bit here and there in different areas. PS said not to worry I see her tomorrow so she will have a look. Thank you for asking! I look up to you :)

OMG, that is a massive difference from your last pic. I thought the last one was amazing, but wow! Your vertical scar is so thin now and all your scar puckering has gone. Loving the belly button too. Like I said before you honestly cannot tell there is any extra skin looking at the pics. But it's only natural to pic faults with your own body. [RS bleep] good luck with the check up [RS bleep]

Hi Nennie, you are healing so well. My vertical scar is so red today?? I've been meaning to update this site but I've been so busy lately so hoping I will get enough time tomorrow. I'm also seeing my PS tomorrow so will let you know what he says. I still have a weird hardness and swelling above my tummy button and my vertical scar is no where as faded as yours, it's really really red tonight, like its bleeding underneath? You scar really is looking great. Are you numb at all? I'm really numb down most of the central tummy area, feels weird! X

I just read one of your comments on here to somebody where you said, I'm not going thru a midlife crisis I just aim to grow old disgracefully. I feel the same way. Good for you.

Lol, well my weight has made me self conscious from the age of about 9 or 10 and held me back from doing all the things I've wanted to do that i now aim to do all of them no matter what anyone thinks as long as nobody gets hurt. I always tried to accept my weight but was unhappy and I now feel like I've earned myself another chance at life!! Take care and thanks :-)
