7 months post op

I've basically bounced back and recovered, it's like I never had the surgery. The scars are noticeable still, but they are slowly fading. My long lower abdominal scar is strange because parts are raised keloid scars are parts are flat and are turning white. The PS said that he might do some freezing to get rid of the keloids, but now it's just a waiting game.

My belly button scar is a flat colorless this line. But alas the line is still noticeable like a heavy looking scratch line. I might get a tattoo in a year or two to cover up the scarring.

My bust, waist, hip measurements are now 35"/26"/35", and I'm 130 lb. I've gained 6-7 lbs since surgery. Pre - surgery measurements were: 33/30/35. Some of it might be muscle, but I've definitely gotten bustier, lots of side boob and back fat as well. So I'm glad the way the fat distribution worked out, that I've gotten bustier. Still very happy I got the procedure done.

8 week update

I'm very happy with my tummy tuck. But alas, my metabolism is still the same. I was doing great with maintaining my weight for a while. Then Halloween happened, which was an indulgent time. My husband asked me to make some molasses cookies, and I must of ate like 5 of them after they were done. Then I had 3 birthday parties in one weekend (meaning I was on a cake diet). I have another 2 birthday parties to go to today. And I wasn't tracking and measuring my food. So I've gained about 3 lb. Which isn't much. But all of it went straight to my gut. I mean it doesn't look that bad, but it's very bloated. I am exercising, but it's not enough. As they say it's 25% exercise, and 75% diet. So let this be a warning to myself, not take the surgery for granted. I will always have this body that keeps weight in my abdomen. I'm now trying to get myself in the mind set of starting to eat consciously again.

Swelling has gone down a little. Wearing spanks in the day, and told compression garment at night. Bruising is mostly gone. I love how I can wear body con dresses now.

I've been meaning to write a review for Dr. Earl Campbell for a long time, and just haven't had a chance. I really think he was a really great choice. He was the only doctor I went to who was able to take one look at my belly and tell me where my scars were going to be. He is very attentive and has a great bedside manner. His staff are cheerful and very helpful. I loved being able to text my nurse the week of recovery and she got back to within minutes to ease my worries and anxieties.
