2 month update

WORTH IT$6,320
Just wanted to give a little update. I’m doing well so far. I have been released to workout without restrictions. I start back with my personal trainer tomorrow. I’ve done some assisted pull-ups as well as other workouts. I’m almost done with my 30 day squat challenge. I think things will go fine. Dr. Song is pleased with my healing thus far. I am also, except the right side of my scar is a little higher than the other side. Dr. Song said this can be fixed and I will go back in 3 months for a checkup and discuss this further. I’ve been using bio oil mostly. I’ve used scaraway but I would get little openings which would cause me to stop using the strips. Not sure if my skin is sensitive and need more healing before I can use them. Dr. Song said some people’s bodies can take longer to absorb the internal stitches which cause little openings. Overall I’ve extremely pleased and have been showing off my body. I hope to have some abs in a few months but I need to start eating better again. I lost some more weight after the surgery but maintained my weight for the last 3 1/2 weeks (I’ve been having a cheat meal or snack daily). Starting tomorrow my personal trainer will be tracking my progress and I won’t be able to dodge him like I have been lol.

I Just wanted to let you know if it wasn't for your comment on another post, I would have never looked into Dr. Song. I was considering going to Sumanth Pagadala, in Columbus Ga, but I had some concerns about some of the reviews I was seeing. Although a lot of his patience was happy with their surgery they still had some issues that didn't look normal. It was your comment that lead me look into Dr. Song and lets just say I'm very please with his work. I have setup my surgery date for 4/27/2018 and can't wait. Thanks again for posting and let everyone know how your surgery went.

Scar

mommyof3lo
Here is a picture of my scar. There are 2 areas where it’s really dark. Those places had a difficult time closing, but they are closed now. I started using ScarAway and I also began using bio oil after my stitches were removed. I know my scar will lighten up overtime like my c section scar, but this thing is dark. Either way I’m okay bc I don’t plan to wear a bikini or anything. I love my belly button though. It looks so natural to me. It reminds me of my belly button before having 3 big babies lol.

tomorrow is my it’s follow up visit ... not sure if I like my results my body seems not proportional ... now I need some booty.... can’t wait till the swelling goes down
January 16, 2018
Yeah the swelling will play tricks on you. I still swell. In the morning, my stomach is nice and flat but as the day goes on and I workout I swell up, but I try to remember even with swelling it’s better than that big belly I had at first lol

How many lbs did he remove? Still can't get enough of how fab your results are. I can't wait for mine. I'm so scared. Was it painful?
January 28, 2018
Thank you! He said he took 4-5 lbs. I was very nervous and scared as well, but it all worked out. It was most painful to get up out of my recliner for about a week. Also, I hated the drains. I workout now and don’t have pain. I’m a little more than 6 weeks po.

Getting Ready For The Gym

mommyof3lo
I was getting ready for the gym and decided to take some pics. I’ve been walking 5-6 times a week on an incline. Last week, I did some upper body workouts with light weights. I’m also on day 9 of my 30 day squat challenge. I need to work on my butt lol. The flatness was curving more, but of course this surgery put a hold on my workout routine.
