Two piece!!

WORTH IT$7,500
Snuck to target tonight KID FREE just to try on a two piece!! I can't believe this is the new me! SOOOO HAPPY!!! I can't imagine what I'll look like in a few months when the swelling subsidies a little more and I can actually stand up completely straight lol

Anyway, healing is going well, my incision separated a little last week because I had a cough and the pressure of coughing must have been too much. Very small opening above my pubic area and a couple spots in my belly button. I was using manuka honey on it but decided to try out this silver gel. I personally wanted to stay away from Neosporin!

Hey!! I'm about 8 weeks out now? Feeling pretty good. I'd say the real turning point on how I felt physically came about 5 weeks. I'm slowly trying to stretch my body out and do a bit of yoga. Walking bent over for weeks really does a number on you! Make sure you take it easy for those first few weeks! I had a couple open spots that formed on my tummy but they are closed now thankfully!!! I'll try to post some pics tonight!!! Good luck on your surgery!! You are gonna be so happy!!!!!! :)

You look amazing! This is what I want desperately. How were you able to get insurance to pay for the tummy tuck?

Thanks Julie J:) insurance unfortunately didn't pay for my tummy tuck. Just the breast reduction. I used care credit to cover the TT and I make monthly payments!

Healing well, feeling great!! Finally able to sleep on my side with a body pillow too! Been off pain meds for a few days now and only use a little ibuprofen as needed. I haven't had anything today and it's almost noon. I feel amazing! Also, LOOK AT THAT SCAR!!! Barely there!! I'm so happy I could cry!

Every day is a little better! I'm getting around a lot better.. I'm trying to stop the pain meds and made it all night until around 12 today before I gave in and had one Percocet. I was probably over doing it a bit too, trying to pick up my house a little.

I'm still not standing up straight but that's to be expected..I can't wait until that day comes though!!! It really does hurt to be bent over so much.

I started using manuka honey on my incisions today too. I've heard good things about it for scar treatment and wound care in general so I'm hoping I can have flawless healing with no issues!!!

Hi u look great I'm checking out doctored I want a mother make over scare of the scar but I hate this belly so I'm definitely gonna trade it in what is manuka honey and where u get it from may I ask

Hey there Yashawon95! Manuka honey is a New Zealand honey made from the trees that make tea tree oil!!! It's very very good for wound healing, studies have shown it kills staph and mrsa. Let's just say it's the queen of all honey!;) you can get it from most health food stores or even on amazon!!
