3 1/2 years since my tummy tuck
WORTH IT$7,500
It's been such a rough year! From moving out of my apartment to shortly after being in a car accident and the very next day losing my job! 2015 has really sucked! My weight has been a total roller coaster! One thing I haven't given up on is staying active. Even after I gained 10 pounds it did not derail me! Earlier this year I joined a boot camp! Omg I love it! I still go to the gym! I know I'm nuts! But it's what's keeping me sane right now! I did the mud runner in June of this year. I wasn't in the best shape but I did it. I'm now training to complete the Gladitor Rock n Run next May and the tough mudder in October! I can't say that would have done this if I hadn't done the tummy tuck. I just feel so much better not having all that in the way!!! So yea even though I'm going through some challenges right now I've stayed optimistic! Next year will be fun! And hopefully along a new job! sometimes I look at my before tummy tuck pictures! And I just can't imagine not having done the surgery! I love buying workout capris. Some I never imagined wearing! Lol the pain was worth it! Now along my surgery line and my lower abdomen it still numb! I assuming after all this time I will not be getting any feeling back. It is weird when theres an itch. You scratch and can't tell if you got the itch. Smh. I knew that going into the Surgery I might lose feeling. It's not a very big deal. I still swell somewhat! Usually during the heat waves and its very lil. I only notice when wearing tight clothing. My belly button to me is weird and maybe a lil bigger then I'd like. I may one day consult on fixing it. My scars are lite but I have the t scar. That one is the darkest of all the others. And it's wear I've been wanting to get a tattoo. Like a cute butterfly! ;) so I'm posting pictures! And I hope this update helps anyone! Feel free to ask anything. Thank you

Wow I haven't posted in a long time!! Ok update. I've achieved losing 11 pounds in the last month. Yay!! Maybe another 10 will be great and I'll be a size 8. Which will be my lowest ever in adult hood. Lol. I've never regretted doing this for myself and encourage anyone that wants to do it. The benefits of feeling confident and sexy out way the scar!! You kinda even forget about it. My current weight is 173. And I'm counting on 10 more to go. I hope my story has inspired someone.

Wow oh wow! It's been 2 years. Still no regrets. I love my tummy. Awhile back I put on the weight I lost after the surgery. I'm happy to say I finally lost it. I workout like a mad man. It's a must if your anything like me. I've struggled with weight all my life. So now I call myself gymrat. Lol Anyways swelling, yup I still do. Not as bad as before and it's not all the time. Depends on what I've eaten. Usually the salty foods will do it. Happy healing all.

You are looking fabulous. I will be 2 years post op on the 27th. I too still swell. Seems like it went away for a few months and recently returned. I also still continue to workout almost daily. I did go see my surgeon about the swelling yesterday and he said that it will happen and just ice it when it does. Even with the swelling I still have no regrets.

You look great. How much did you weigh before tummy tuck and how much do you weigh now.

I weighed 200 before my surgery. And I weigh 180 now! I lift weights every week. I would love to lose another 15-20 pounds. And thank you I feel great. Best thing I ever did. But it's something I will always have to fight to maintain. I've always been the type to put weight on very easily.
