I havnt posted in a while and just thought it was about time. I am so appreciative of my results and feeling better about myself than I have my whole life. My measurement are 34-31-37, I am staying around 155 and am 5'51/2" I got down to 149, but since I've been working out more...I seem to be staying around 155 now. I am wearing 8's comfortably. I don't wear any compression and do swell some, but not too bad. I can do just about anything now, but not "ab" workouts yet.
I feel great! Happy for a summer I can wear suits and not feel embarrassed about my belly!

It is! I've had moments of thinking, I'm swollen...my belly isn't as flat as I want it, I have a little pooch...then I smack myself and look at my before pictures and I'm immediately sooooo appreciative. It is wonderful beyond belief! You're looking totally hot yourself! Woooooohooooo girl!

I am just so happy that I did this surgery, and so happy the weeks are behind me! I am still in a light compression garmet during the day and at night. I would say my tummy feels achy without it. I have been getting 14,000 steps a day, but not working out yet. I just walk. My weight going in was 155 and now I'm at 149...and he took off 4.3 lbs. I'll probably gain a couple when I build up my muscle again. I'm sleeping on my sides, but roll over a lot and still miss tummy sleeping. I haven't even tried it yet. My scar is mostly healed, with a couple spots that still are scabbed up, so I haven't done and scar treatment yet. I have a silicone stick to smooth on the scar when it's ready....but the scar is well positioned, so I don't even mind it. My abs still feel tender, when I sit up in bed or really do anything using them. I am going to start the gym Monday. (Aren't those always the famous words when it comes to working out....lol)

Wow, one month already time flies. Your spot looks great. It will heal up in another couple weeks, I am sure.

At my appt. the doctor actually pulled off the scabs. They were ready to come off...only one bled a tiny bit, and that one had a stitch. I would have been too scared to pull them off, but they look better now :) He said I have swelling on the sides of my belly button area that will subside over the next couple months. Also, I was released to do whatever I want, excersize wise....just to listen to my body. I've been getting 10,000 steps a day the past week...but doing it slowly and I built myself up to that...I'm very cautious, but I think I may go to the gym a couple days next week and start lifting again (with machines).
