    Yay! So happy for you! Which doctor did you choose?
    The swelling should be gone by the summer after your surgery. I am still a little swollen 4 months later, but I'm still going to wear a bikini this summer :)
    My doctor gave me the ok to start ab training about 6 weeks after surgery, but I didn't feel ready so I waited another 2 weeks and then started. I increased my intensity around 10 weeks later and I am pretty much back to normal at this point (4 months). Good luck with your surgery!

    Thank you! I also plan on competing in the near future! My doctors wife is a fitness competitor, so he knew exactly the look that I was going for, where to place the scar etc. I started light cardio about 4 or 5 weeks after surgery and at around 6 weeks went back to the gym for weights (very light at first and worked my way back up again) Around 8 weeks after, I started abs (even though my doctor gave me the ok to start sooner). How are you feeling after your surgery? Are you happy with the results?

    Thank you! It is so low- it is totally covered with underwear(without having to pull them way up high lol)- I'm so glad I used Dr. Fiorillo

    Thank you! I feel great! I am sooo happy with the results! I've been back at the gym for over a month. I trained very light at first, but now I am pretty much back to normal. Ab training gets easier each time- still cannot do hanging leg raises. I can't wait for my abs to "pop" lol!

    Did you have your surgery yet?
