Dog ear removed at 5 months post op-Maryland

Hi ladies! Three years post TT and I must say it was definitely worth it. I have come along way in three years.... TT in April 2011. Divorce in August 2012. Have my little boy who will be 5 this summer..keeps me busy.. but I always find time to exercise and keep in shape. Now a part time indoor cycle instructor which helps out... down to 107 lbs. Just turned 36 too... I will share a current photo for you ladies.... I am very pleased with everything... well worth it but taking care of your body to maintain is also key!

Okay so just updated my pictures finally! LOL! I am happy with my side view but the front view I am not totally happy about... I have the love handles you see. I think that I should have gotten the lipo on the love handles when I had the surgery...but who knew how it would look after right? i am also a few pounds heavier then I was right after my surgery. My weight fluctuates now between 112 and 115 depending on my eating and exercising on a day. I try to get in some good workouts... spin class 3 days a week... and 3 thirty minute strength training sessions... that is about all i can do with a 2 year old to chase after and working full time... My tummy is still numb basically from right below the incision line up to my bra line... who knows if the feeling will ever come back and its hard to do ab exercises...I find my abs very weak since the surgery even though they are sewed together... I guess I need to work on Ab exercises more to strengthen them... I feel confident with my clothes on and can wear beautiful form fitting clothes... but in a bathing suit i am still a little self conscience since i have those love handles...

So I went in last Wednesday to have a dog ear removed. It went well I would say. Dr shot me up with some numbing agent then came in and cut out a big piece of skin. Seemed there was alot of blood on my gown afterwards... I didn't watch him but the suture broke and my blood splashed all over his coat and face, yuck! the second suture worked thank goodness. Just have dissolvable stitches and paper tape over it. A little bruising but wasn't bad at all. I am pretty happy with my TT but wish I would have had my love handles lipod... Don't think I have enough time or money to go back and get that done...guess I will have to try to work it off at the gym.
