WORTH IT$11,400
Started scar therapy on my arms. I can't believe how much my belly is shrinking since my TT! And the swelling going down. Yay! I've decided it was all worth it. Yes, it took a month to get to the place where I could say this.

Thanks for update :) Looking good.
Your flat stomach is amazing. I am thinking of having a fleur des lis tt this winter - since my regular tt didn't take away my skin above my mid-section.

3 weeks out -popped a stitch

At 3 weeks I noticed my belly button was very read and then right above my belly
Button an area opened up and within 3 days is 1" long and 1/2" wide. The doctor saw it last Thursday and said it was ok. He didn't take the stitches out of my belly button. I go back tomorrow. Here's a pic of what it looks like now, 4 weeks post op

HEY your close to me do you play Pickleball LOL? I can't wait to get through saving for mine its seem like its going to slow and will be a long time.... :-( but I stay on these articles and reading to stay motivated... you look great..... I'm in Grand Prairie I to the Summit Senior Club to play pickleball they had a tournament there this year...
OUCH!! That looks painful. Did you call him and ask his opinion? I am glad you go in tomorrow. Maybe just polysporin on it and keep it dry and don't bandage it,let itbreathe and it will dry up and heal faster without a band aid. Take care
