Wow! Cant believe its been 11 months since i made the decision of crosding over... I am feeling great, just got back into the gym again after a break as I was loosing too much weight. I am currently at a weight im confortable with and working on toning things up. I am still pretty much numb in the area of my lower abs found a bit of inbalance with my upper abs but since i began toning up it is falling into place some of us are just built certain ways.. I dont regret my decision what so ever and i would it again. Dr. T has always listen to my concerns and he delivered the quality of work I expected. My advice to others is to keep an open mind when setting expectations on your results, I may not look like barbie but I sure feel and look great. My confidence has returned and the compliments just continue to come. Oh and my husband can not keep his hands off me....

Well were do I start? Here I am 7 months post op and still can't believe I did it. I have continued to loose inches remained in a size 5 from a 9/10. I lost a total of 15 pounds and have kept them off. I have been doing a little bit of yoga to stretch my core as it still feels tight. Still experience some swelling at the end of the day and numbness is still there. My incision has healed beautifully can't complained. I am going back to the gym after stopping for a bit due to my husband complaining I was loosing too much weight now just need to tone a few areas. I am very pleased with my results I think some would say I made this process look very easy. Making the decision to cross over to the flat side has given me great results.
1. Higher self-esteem
2. Everything fits better
3. My husband loves to hug my waist line again
4. Children are pleased with how I look
5. Overall I feel great!!!!
If anyone is having doubts or experiencing fear, anxiety or even double guessing yourself DON'T this is the best decision I have made, inform yourself, research your doctor, and make sure your doing it for yourself. I will be posting pics soon....
