A little more then 4 weeks post op, still...
WORTH IT$6,800
A little more then 4 weeks post op, still recovering, but so far I'm very happy with my tummy. After 4 csections, and 8 other abdominal surgeries, my poor tummy wasn't just big, it was crooked, and gross. Dr Warnock made it beautiful again. The nurses are so nice, and Brooke is awesome! Fabulously :)

Almost 6 months post
Wow!!! The last 6 months since surgery my body has changed so much, literally every other day, 1 day I'm flat, and look beautiful the next, I'm swollen, and look fat ????. I'm still not where I want to be, but it is SO MUCH BETTER. Pain was never a big thing for me (thank God), but the swelling has been a major pain in the butt, the weird gross lumpy bumps all of my incision drive me crazy, and being so numb around the belly button is the worse ????.

I see you still have a tiny bit of bulge above incision at 6 months. I have the same at 2 months, my ps says it should resolve and flatten by 6 months. I basically can't see my incision when standing and looking in mirror. It's hidden under swelling. Would you say you are still swelling or do you think this is your final result?! Btw, looks great!

Thank you! At 2 months, I was so scared I wouldn't be happy with my very costly surgery, the time, money, and pain, I was still big, had a hang over, and even the top of my vagina was very big, I cried alot about going through all that to not be happy, but at 3 months I finally starred to see changes, and now some days I still am not completely happy with my results, and even though I am noticeably smaller and more symmetrical, it's not what I wanted, and my clothes size didn't change, and my weight went down only 5 pounds, I am still swollen, especially right above the incision in the center, and left side more then other spots. I have found out that 9-12 months is the actual reality for final results based off other womans personal experience, not the 6 months our Dr's tell us. Be patient with healing, and don't over work your body, because that only increases the swelling, and makes you look at yourself and wonder why you just did that

Thank you for your encouraging words. I feel exactly like you, why did I do this? It's not what I expected. I had a huge belly before surgery, so it's def an improvement! But the overhang looks like a roll of fat still, even though I keep being told its swelling. Trying to be positive. I also haven't changed in size and only lost 4 llbs, which is so hard to get over considering how fat my belly was before and I'm still the same size?? Lol, doesn't make sense! I am happy I look better in clothes but when I'm checking out my scar and bulge, I get really depressed. Thanks again for taking time to make me feel better!! Hugs!!

I understand, I think I'm needing liposuction to be happy?... you're so welcome, glad I could help you feel better
Welcome:) Goodness your tummy has been through a war over the years. I am happy for you and glad that you are liking your results. It takes time for the swelling to go down so stay patient with that. Glad to hear that you quit smoking:)
