WORTH IT
Saw my ps yesterday and his great team. All is well. We discussed revision surgery to be done at 6 months on my dog ears. Try as I might, I simply cannot massage them away! Not looking forward to it, as I'll be awake, but it must be done. They can't be seen with clothes on of coarse but I'm spending a lot more time naked, lol. Loving life, loving my new bod, loving my hubs, LOVING SEX! Thank you Dr. Larson!!

Awe I'm so glad you are feeling wonderful and loving life! I had no idea massaging away dog ears was a possibility....either way you can do it! Look at what you have accomplished already :)

You look brilliant I am 55 and I worried I'd left it too late. Looking at your results am so glad I booked it. Having tummy tuck with lipo in Sept can't wait.

Hi ladies! I love reading all of your stories, and I'm feeling so much better and so happy. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself! I'm still working on things everyday, like my center of gravity has changed. Like, I knew how to make the most of my fat body, I'm still learning how to rock the new me. Lots of my things fit beautifully, and I wonder how did I wear this before? I am slowly becomibg comfortable in my new skin and I suppose it's because this is the 1st Wednesday of 2017 that I haven't seen my favorite Dr. His care is completely perfect. I never considered that it might be unusual to have to go back weekly for 7 weeks. I never felt that anything was anything except perfectly normal. How many after care visits did you have at 8 weeks? I will tell you that the swelling is tough. I hate/love my 3rd corset (3 sizes)
and I think there must be something better. I do love my spanx type, but I don't like the legs going down my thighs. Also, my sides are still wide and my masseuse says she van still feel the warmth from the inflammation in my sides. Its fun shopping in my closet. I need new jeans and new bras, but its a little too soon for either. I did buy a bikini though. How are y'all feeling today? I hope you are well. Just know that one day you will get off of the crazy train of ups and downs, and you will be happy and GRATEFUL. XO

Ah thanks lady. How are you? Ill check for your update....I'm usually watching out for you and others. Ya get kind of attached to strangers here, its lovely . Are you making progress? Tight tummy? I am loving my little girls but wish they were smaller. I'm massaging my scars with the cream every day .

All is progressing nicely and I'm feeling a bit more "normal" everyday. Yes, tummy is extremely tight and it's a bit different this time with both the lower belly AND the upper one getting more swollen as the day progresses (or my activity increases or I eat too much!) so I'm a little more (?) uncomfortable. But this too shall pass. I just need to ensure I have a totally horizontal time midday. I hear you about the girls... I said the same thing (I think most BR women would like them to have been a bit smaller), but they are much more lovely than they were pre-surgery. "Better" is pretty darn fine! Now go dream of that vaca, Sistah.... sigh.... xo

Hello ladies, I had my 7 week ck up today and graduated so I was sent off with a big hug and my next appt is in 5 weeks, or, my 3 month mark. I am so thrilled with my ps and his entire staff. I am so happy that he was very careful with me and saw me every week to make sure we had no problems. I am thrilled with my results! We have scheduled our tropical vacation and I plan on spending 7 days in luxury, wearing bathing suits! I am actually going to wear a bikini!!! Or 4! Woo hoo!!!
Hope you girls are feeling better and healing well. I thank God for your love and support.
