2 months!
Can't believe I've made it to 2 months! I feel great. I still have pain and tenderness from the muscle repair and the lipo but it's just a slight annoyance at times. Sleeping on my stomach for a couple weeks now, not thinking about my tt every second of every day. Life is good.
I've lost 20 lbs as well, and 3 inches off my waist, 5 off my hips!
There are some things I'm not happy about but considering where I started I don't think I care much. The center of my scar goes up and sticks above panties and bathing suits. This was necessary to close me but I still don't like it! Maybe get that revised later. Also I still have fat or swelling right above the incision on the sides making my sides bulge out slightly. I'm just going to wait until my scar softens up more and hopefully lose 10 more lbs and see where I am. That's my goal for the next month, keep healing and losing weight!
I wasn't sure I would be happy I did this in the end but i changed my review from unsure to worth it because I think it has been and will continue to be worth the cost, the pain, the recovery, and all those really hard first few (more like 5) weeks!
First bikini pics! Not the bikini body I want but at least I can wear one and work on the things I don't like from here :)

You look amazing I had my surgery on 3/24 I still swell sometimes still bent over from pulling from MR. My process is really slow, I also have bellybutton issues my tissue is dead , so I have to see surgeon every 2 weeks. Your doing great.
Thank you! Don't feel bad that your process is slower, mine has been too. I STILL take it pretty easy and I did develop a seroma at week 3 that I go every other week to have drained. It's small but just won't go away! This surgery is no joke and the recovery process is so long. Sorry about your belly button but I'm sure it will work itself out without major issue, as will my seroma. Good luck!

Before and after at 1 month
I've been feeling pretty good, and the swelling continues to go down as long as I don't overdo it. The before and afters are just crazy to me!

Hi, does your abd muscles hurt?
Hi, not really anymore. Only if I sneeze or laugh too much they'll tighten up and be mildly painful. If I walk around a lot I sometimes still get this one spot to the right of my belly button that feels painful but again, nowhere near as bad as in the beginning. Do yours still hurt?
I should say I take it really easy, I don't work and do housework and walking and whatever at my own pace when I feel up to it so it may be a different story if I were forced to be doing anything in particular all day!

Hi Katie, I do work sitting at a desk most of the time and when I get up I feel stiff and sometimes when I wake up in the morning. It's not to bad, just as if I had done an abdominal workout. By the way your progress look great at one month after!
