WORTH IT$7,000
Oh my God I can't believe it's been almost 6 months to the day since my surgery. The first thing that I want to say is I love my body. Mrs. Bello did an awesome job. My boobs look awesome ,my stomach looks awesome I feel awesome. The recovery was not easy but it was not hard to where I would say I would never do it again. My scar on my Tummy tuck, it has faded really light so fast I will definitely post a few pictures of those and the scars around my nipples I can't even tell that I had scars around my nipples she made the incision with in the Areola so I don't have that funky scar around the outside of my areola. I don't have that discoloration. Through everything the trip to the Dominican Republic the trip home which was very tiring exhausting and uncomfortable and then the recovery which was about two months a good two months after I got home has all been worth I will definitely keep updating. My weight has stabilized back to the weight that I was before I left 160. and I'm very happy about that because my stomach is still flat him my butt looks awesome. All the fat went to the right places. I still have no feeling through the center and bottom portion of my stomach so I have to be very careful when I'm cooking or If even a cold bottle is set on my stomach and was cold I wont notice it. I have no feeling at all whatsoever. So next it's tattooing the scar. My artist said he would do it at 6 months so wish me luck. I hope my blog helps everyone be more comfortable with having the surgery just do your research really no get to know your doctor and just have faith. Everyone looks awesome Bye

Sorry my computer freaked out lol! Your PS did an amazing job! All I had done was a TT for now back in June and as soon as I went back to work, everyone said I looked good but at the same time I started feeling the jealousy with EVERYONE! lol I bet you feel real good now I know I do. How long before you were given the ok to start working out? And what kind of exercises do you do?

Thank you. I waited a long time before I did any stomach exercises because she did a killer job on my muscles. So at about 5 months I went for a physical. And got the ok. They felt my muscles and said they were amazing. However I started power walking at about 8 weeks. I love my body and say. The looks I got was crazy. Who cares. I woke up like this....in real life. Lol

Just another small update I'm doing great. I'm down to a 23in waist clincher which keeps me very flat. I can't wait until the swelling goes away. But until then. Here are some pics.

Download the what's app. Bring plenty of wifebeaters. You will want to change it every time you get a massage. Check your meds to make sure you have them all. Also make sure download a money adjuster too!! Oh and buy and umbrella or bring one that fits one your luggage. You will need it outside. And enjoy DR!!!

Thank you. I was sooooo worth it. You must post when ever you do make it so I can cheer for you. Health is always first. My Bes friend is trying to get healthy too. She came with me for a face to face Consult and Bello told her to get healthy first. She really does care.
