Thought it would be helpful to post updated pics. I did pixelate the background a bit since the best mirror in the room isn’t in mine. Hopefully these help everyone see the transformation and new contours especially around my waist/hip area. My next check up is in 6 months where we will determine if the touch up will be required.

6 months and no regrets!

I feel terrible for not posting updates. It’s been almost 6 months since surgery. I’ve been very happy with the results and enjoying my new, contoured shape. I still workout often and it’s so nice to be able to see evidence of this in my core area now. I do get a lot of comments from people who just think I’ve lost a lot of weight so I usually go along with it. I do have a little dimple in my lower abdominal area but the doctor wants me to wait a full year before he considers fixing it because of the huge improvement since my last appointment. He mentioned it could be done quickly using local anaesthetic - like a spot treatment. He tells me everytime I’m in for a check up that he wants me to be completely happy with my results and will do what it takes to get me there which is reassuring. I have a few friends who had the procedure with different surgeons and felt the doctors did not care once the surgery was complete -but that’s not the case with mine. He’s a true professional. Im looking forward to my first beach vacation coming up next week - for the first time I feel great in a bikini. I’m so happy with my results and highly recommend Dr. Sleightholm .

4 weeks!

It will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I wish I could say time flies but the garment prevents me from saying that. Only two more weeks of mandatory full time garment wear - hooray!!!
I started back to my old workout routine this week - even added some abs! It feels good. I have no pain at all, I feel back to normal other than the garment. As much as I complain about it, I like that it makes me feel "tighter" but it'd be nice to take it off and wear it half the time.
My body is still changing. Just when I think I'm seeing my full results the swelling comes down a little more. I do have a little dent in my lower ab area but I'm not too worried about it. I had one a few weeks ago that is completely gone now - or moved. Overall, I'm really happy!! I just wish I did it a long time ago. I feel confident and knowing that my body shows my efforts I've lost some weight just because I feel motivated...ok and maybe because I'm a little afraid it will come back.
I won't see my doctor until mid-July so maybe that will be my next checkpoint.

I’m sorry for taking so long to comment. I wrote an update . I’m happy with the results. Still getting used to going from boxy to having contour between my torso and hips but I’m not complaining. I suspect I will need a minor touch up but won’t know for sure until my next check up. My skin was hard for 6 weeks and the garment gets itchy even though I had a few different ones. I didn’t get massages but for the first 6 weeks I tried to give myself a good massage after watching some you tube vids.
