My doctor gave me a very sexy belly button - I never had that even when I was younger and thin! I'm not the best "healer" on the surface so I can't say that I'm happy with my scar, it will take a long time to heal. It took years for my C-section scar to fade so I'm expecting the same with this. I'm very happy with the placement of my incision (sp?). I would recommend my doctor everyday of the week, he's the best!

Hi all! It's been awhile but my progress and recovery were phenomenal! I was back at the gym 4 and half weeks later - granted I was just walking on the treadmill. But I did my first 5k in February which I started training for about 7 weeks post-op, I had my surgery Nov. 19th. I kept running and started hot yoga. I've struggled with keeping the weight off, so please remember the weight will come back! I'll never stop going to weight watchers or working out because I'll gain the weight back easy. **Anyone considering this surgery I can't caution you enough to watch your weight afterwards! You will be disappointed if you gain the weight back just like when I gained 5 pounds back - I'm so careful now. But I'm so happy with my results!! The best thing I ever did!

Thank you! I will definately try one of those! I'm hoping to post more pics at one month, two months and then three months. These are "unofficial" pics - taken by by hubby about 30 mins pre-op and then at day 2, or maybe it was day 3. Today is Day 9 and I'm trying to wean myself off the percocet and am using tylenel extra strength - not too bad right now. I'll keep posting. thanks!

Wow, thanks for your detailed experience. I'm in Orlando and am thinking about this procedure. Your post is VERY helpful!
