WORTH IT$3,700
1 month post wedding and I gained 6 pounds =(
But at least I looked GORGEOUS on my wedding day! Everything was worth it, my wedding dress was a size 14 in January, right before the surgery (bridal stores always knows how to make you feel bigger)..but my dress was taken down 2-3 inches in June. That was a big deal for me because I would have never been able to lose 3 inches on my waist without hard HARD work and as a working mother and grad student, there just wasn't the time.
Stick to your diets ladies. After the surgery, I have not had refined sugar, refined salt or white potatoes in my house. 100% fruit smoothies are my best friend and I also drink tons of water now. I still wear my Gold's Gym sweat band around my waist every morning and evening (helps A LOT when I am bloated with water weight).

Finally got my BEFORE pics

The pre-op pics make me shiver, I didn't even know I looked that awful. One thing is for sure...I came along way and I'm still going. No overeating, no cake, no brownies and consistent exercise!
Most importantly, I'll be looking great just in time for my wedding!

You look terrific! How long was your down time after the procedure?

Thanks! Downtime is about 3 weeks honestly. Wake up, work, bed...
I had to be out of work for 3 days because of the pain and blood leakage.

So I had my 3rd post op visit today, June will make my 6 months. The office will email me my before and after pictures in 2 weeks so I will upload then.
Swelling has gone down so that's no longer an issue, however, they did noticed I had a few "knots" or "nobs" I think they called it (lumps)- on my flanks and right above my navel. She advised me to massage these but they should be going away as the tissue continues to heal and redirect blood flow.
I also mentioned that some days I have INSANE itching and maybe even some stinging around my flanks. I'm told this is completely normal and will subside.
Finally, I expressed my disappointment with my bra line. I've seen no changes so I was told that in June the Dr will evaluate if I need a touch up (if it's fat) or if it's just loose skin. I think it's loose skin, and I've started lifting and doing back exercises to help. We'll see where my back is in June!
Either way, I totally have a bikini body!! At least more than I did last year. I'm not spilling over jeans, skirts and have been wearing crop tops which I could never do before.
I still have a lot of work to do in the gym, this procedure was no complete fix but I acknowledged that before the procedure was even done. I've been slacking in the gym because of school but my eating habits are more clean now than ever and I've started a tea regimen that has been a God to my metabolism. I'm losing pounds but since I've started lifting weights, I'm not on the scale as much! No point! Here's a bonus photo of my abdomen, more pics in 2 weeks so stay tuned!!
