I added my 6 month pictures. I was not happy with my flanks, but that was another procedure. My abs are smaller, but I was not completly wowed. I went back last week to have some additional lipo and a skin tightening procedure. My dr is convinced that my issue is loose skin and not fat. Fo me, I want to feel skin and nothing but muscle. So I have been wrapped up for the last week waiting on the numbness and pain to go way again. I'm hopeful that in 2 months I can go shirtless in Jamaica.

I think what I need is to have all the loose skin cut away, but I'm not ready for the pain, and cost. My dr says since it is only skin and not muscle, I should only be down for 4 or 5 days. So I'd only miss one week of work.

I'm posting my 6 month photos. Totally not happy with the flanks, but that was a different procedure. Not really happy with the stomach either. There was more fat the dr could have taken. The stomach area does look better and smaller, but not awesome like I was looking for. I think I may need a tummy tuck on the skin only, but not looking forward to the down time, the pain, or the cost. Last week I went in for some laser skin tightening and additional lipo. I'm wrapped up and swollen right now.

Oh man...I am bummed for you my friend. I thought for sure you would been good. Me? I decided to settle and not get the work redone. Too much money, too much downtime and a low possibility of a 50% correction. The mind f*** is the worst part. So, just promise me one thing? You will go on youtube and look at tummy tuck scars. I think, and pray, as a friend that you change your mind. Leave well enough alone. Your not all dented up like a pillow case full of knuckles like my abs and inner thighs. Thank god you didn't end up like me....please. Is it necessary....ask yourself. And the chances you get massacred like me.

I know it's a mind F*ck. I was thinking earlier today why would I do such a thing. And I look fine as far as I'm concerned. It's just certain times I wish it was a little bit better.

Oh no. :( I'm really sorry it didn't work out for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the lipo you got this week will improve your results. :-/

13 days out. I feel so much better. The swelling is down. I'm back to working out for the most part, but I have to limit myself due to pain in the abs. Today I worked out without any compression. There were a few times I felt the odd pain, but it pretty much was okay. I still get tired quicker than before. I still have numbness and swelling in the ab area, and I'm still wearing the compression around the clock. But i feel that everything is going good.

It's been two months now. I am starting to not be swollen so much. most of the numbness is gone, but there is still some there. But I'm told to wait another two months before I'll have a good idea of how well the procedure worked. I still sleep in a compression wrap.
