7 weeks post op. still healing great
of the 12 poking stitches i had, only one remains. i didnt cut them, i just used hot water on it during shower and they melted away. lol
when i suck in my tummy, l measure @ 32.5. when its relaxed, its a 34.
i am still numb around my bb and incision area. my scar is doing okay but i don't even pay attention to it, i just apply bio oil and off i go.
i enjoy wearing my clothes now and just the other day, while i was crossing the road, some dude driving along, stopped, crossed over and started chatting me up. even with my RING shining, he still was asking me out. lol. he gave me his card and wanted us to meet. i tore the card once i got into my car and had a good laugh. bottom line i guess he never would have imagined that i was married with 3 children since i was rocking a skinny jeans and tucked in fitted top. lol. i wish my hubby had driven past. lol
ANYWAY, i am currently 94kg (206lbs) that's 11lbs lost from surgery date when i weighed 217.8
i am setting a new goal for my self. to lose 9kg and get down to 85kg (187lbs) by the end of march. that's about 3lbs a week. lets do this! shall we???
happy healing to all my friends on here. and for those yet to experience the flat side, you sure are missing out and should cross over soon! lol
cheerios ladies
All in all, i am still happy with my decision and i am rocking my new size 12's outfits. my goal is a 10.
6 WEEKS POST OP
I am fine and well and doing amazingly good! my healing has been drama free thank God for that.
my doctor said to start lifting my baby at 6 weeks but i must confess i started way earlier than that. whenever there wasn't help around, i would use my arm muscles, hold in my tummy real tight and lift him, while praying real hard that i don't pop a stitch. lol
i started using the silicon strip by week 5 but it was rolling up every time i too out my CG so on the 2nd day, i got frustrated and peeled it off. lol. i have been using bio oil since.
i still wear my CG although doc had said to wear for 6 weeks. i think i will switch to spanks now.
my tummy sure has relaxed, its not as tight as before. my belle button is still an outing and spits out more on one side, my incision is looking skew but i cant tell if that's the final result. i had to go back to my first pic right after surgery and i see that both the belle button and incision is well angled. so may be i may have to wait it out to see the final outline of the incision.
All in all, everything is well. i am happy with the way i look, my husband has been all over me and i am loving it. i look damn good in clothes and everyone compliments me on how much weight i have lost. lol. but guess what? i have only lost 4.4lbs since surgery. i only started walking and watching my diet yesterday.
happy healing lovelies and to those going in, i say IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST NEARING THE 1 MONTH MARK post op
the tiniest part of my waist measured 37 inches. i was expecting a lower number seeing that i was quite flat but then i remembered where i started from. waist 45inches. yikes,
today, the tiniest part of my waist is measuring 33 inches and i am so happy. but honestly, i wonder how that is possible because i am not as flat as i was right after surgery. anyway....still happy about that. my dream waist is a 28, max 30!!!.
i must confess i have not been eating right and just last night i said to my self, holiday over, its time to buckle up. so imagine my surprise when i measured myself!!!!
all my cg's are super loose now and i now looking for one to hold me firm. i wear them 24 hours a day, i take them off to bath.
my incision on the front is perfectly thin and healing rather well. the sides incision are taking up all sorts of shape and feel. i cant wait to start using the silicon strip and bio oil
i have well over 12 poking stitches and my hubby is so scared to cut them off. says i should leave it to dissolve. well, i read that, once they are out of the skin, they wont dissolve as there is no liquid to dissolve them. i will have to call my doctor friend to do me the honors.
hope every one else is doing great.
peace and love to ya all
Provider Review
I had to finally go with him after extensively researching him. {his results of his REAL patients here are AMAZING} I have had numerous back and forth exchange of mails with him and Stacy his SS. Dr Jonathan from the onset, has been very receiving, kind and funny. He didn't make me feel like i had a MAJOR COMPLICATED CASE like some other tagged it! He instead said "he'll be honored to take care of me" He didn't ask me for upfront or down payment or deposit of any sort like most who insisted after i disclosed my location to them. He trusts me and i am not about to disappoint him so others after me will be treated well. I trust in his expertise and believe GOD to use him to get my body back to Normal! ........and guess what????? God did use him to get me back to normal. i so far look flat and 100 times different from what i looked liked pre surgery...... everything went well. only 2 hours in OR and i came out looking awesome...... i worried about what to get and what not to buy for post surgery but i was given 2 compression garments and everything else i needed...... Dr jonathan gave me his number and we exchanged text messages whenever necessary......He has been very attentive to my post surgery needs and surprisingly extended it to my personal needs.........Whenever i needed to see him, he made that happen......He truly cares and his relaxed and kind nature definitely one that a patient needs going into this sort of venture...... i can proudly say i love doctor Jonathan Saunders. He is a rare kind. God bless him and the works of his hands.
