On my Way to a New Me - Columbus, GA

Two months post op in 2 days ... oh wow... feels like it all just happened yesterday! Im doing great ... still sore in lipo areas and my navel is still healing ... its healing slowly but it is indeed healing.

Life has been so different ... now all of a sudden the men want to stare and ask me out ...where were you when I had that belly??? Hahaha! it's fun but I'm still getting use to that type of attention.. still very very happy with my decision....I'm wearing my heels again, boy did I miss them. I've so been feeling myself , attached are some more photos ... Good luck to any ladies having surgery soon ...smooches

All is going well... just swelling and itching ... itching and swelling ...almost 6 weeks post op ... damn the time goes by fast ... I'll begin working out this Wednesday yaaaay!

So I'm almost 1 month post op and I've had a minor set back but now I'm okay :) . I think my navel was about to get infected. It was milky and green and it had that "stinky navel stinch" x10 oh heck no... so because I live in CA I went to Beverly Hills for someone skilled in the area to help. Of course many turned me away because I didn't get my work done with them. But one highly recommended surgeon agreed to meet me and let me tell you! He was so impressed by my results he said "I couldnt have done a better job myself " I loved his honesty. I may even consider him for my breast aug because of that! Dr. Cochran is the truth. I just wish he was a little better with making patients feel less rushed (I too experienced that with Dr.C ) but anywho the surgeon said to clean it with diluted peroxide 2x a day. All has gotten better in only 3 days! Other than that I feel great. Don't get me wrong the swelling is real by 3pm and it pulls so damn tight near the navel but I am still very pleased with my decision. It's still sore in the lipo areas (I can feel it when I hit bumps while I'm driving ) I'm walking straight until the late evening, then I start hunching over a little.
I started scar therapy (once the drain sites closed) my scar is already very thin to begin with so I know it can only get better. I'm using Palmers scar oil. Guess what, if it doesn't work at all I'm still very pleased with my thin scar. My friends says it looks like a finger nail scratch. 
Side bar: I can't wait until I can work out!!!
For all the women thinking of doing this. DO IT! Lol ... I read so many reviews on here like you prior to making my decision and I must say I know everyone is different but I think a lot of women are a bit dramatic (that's our middle name) . I know I can be extra at times but after a week I was feeling a lot better. Maybe because I took so many photos that I had it to remind me. I see women crying and depressed at 2 months post op ... I can tell you, I'm done crying! (If there are no complications) It's absolutely nothing to cry about. It only gets better by the day then by the week. Im not disregarding anyone's feelings I just know I expected to still be depressed and im not at all. I'm also a very optimistic person so you won't find a pity party here. I want to get better and feel my best. So beware of the negative Nancy's and don't let it have any affect on your decision. If I can do it. Anyone can.
