Having my surgery done as an intermediate patient in Brisbane with Dr. Alys Saylor. So far she has been amazing! she knows how a woman's body should look, and her belly button shaping skills are exactly what i want, im not a fan of almond shaped belly button i like the more circular look with a hood (like it used to be!). so far she says my scar is going to be quite small see as all my problems are very central. i will need a scar revision because i have stretch marks above my belly button ($350). Her receptionist have been great in answering my questions. Now just gotta get my body fit for the 1st November!!

Definitely keep us up to date on how everything is going for you.  I will be anxious to see your results.  From now until surgery day just focus on the diet and exercise.  Being in peak shape prior to surgery will really help you in the recovery process.

Thanks! Yea I love being at the gym. So hoping to tone everything up, will maximise my results as well. Hoping to come out fit looking! Like I used to be

Why would you need a scar revision because of the stretch marks?
October 30, 2016
She said because I have stretch marks above the belly button, when they get pulled down to were the scar is it will basically make everything rough and I won't have a nice looking smooth incision till after the scar revision.

Ohh!. Good luck!

Good luck! I'll be thinking of you Tues. Keep us posted. I think you can definitely get your dream body!!! My belly is like yours in the sense that all the fat and skin localized in one area!
October 30, 2016
Hey! Sorry I didn't even see ur comment. Yea I hope I can achieve that in the next 6-12 months! Do u have any photos up of your belly? My surgeon said yea because it's all so localised I should have a really good result and a shorter scar.

Oh that's good to hear. Im just getting so nervous. I go on 12/12. Only dif with my belly is that I have the overhang/flap. I had three huge babies. I'm skinny everywhere else. I'll post pics soon

You have done a fantastic job with your weight loss and toning! Good luck on the 1st with your surgery! Will be following you for updates...my tt is on 11/4 and I am very impatient as well - I am so ready!
October 30, 2016
Lol I can't believe it's tomorrow! I waited 7 years for this! But technically had 2 more kids in between hahah. That's so exciting for u! I hope it all goes well I will be following! I'm hoping the weight loss was enough! Just some additional toning when I'm all healed but I'm not gonna push myself at all until I'm completely healed. I'm just worried about weight gain while I can't be active. So I am gonna be stricter on my diet.

Excited for you as well! I'll be sending positive healing thoughts your way. Dont worry about your weight - it really looks as though you have handle on things, and you have already put in the work and prepped your body to be ready and strong! You will do great!
