six months out... and thrilled

OK. Had a little lipo on one side because I was lopsided. Now thats all done. I'm six months out. For those of you pondering full or mini heres what I think. I love my mini. Now I'm not going to wear a bikini because I do still have stretch marks and a bit of belly yuck. But if I gave up my nightly cocktails it would go away no doubt. But I love how I look for the first time in years. I tried on summer pants and no belly falling over. Weird and wonderful. I set out to look normal and that goal was achieved. Now if you want tight bikini tummy you may want to go with a full. But the recovery and belly button moving thing just weren't worth it for me. I wouldn't wear a bikini in public anyway. lol Heres my docs before pic and an after pic from today. As I said, very happy. :)

been a long time!

doing well! Did want to let some know of the things that might need to be taken care of later down the line. I have a little lump of excess fat at the one end of my scar. Thought it was swelling but nope. Still there. Sooo. going in to get it sucked out and hopefully that will take care of it. Doc said its like no more than a dentist visit. If the skin there sags I may have to go for a little revision but taking one thing at a time. :) Still can't believe that used to be my tummy up there! lol

went for another check up. Looks good! There is a little swelling still right above the scar, so they put me on Lasix every other day. Man, already peeing like a racehorse. Also started on Bio Oil. And back to the gym a couple of times! Feels soooo good. And all of my worrying about what to do and what not to do didnt even matter. My body says NOPE if its not good. Pretty much anything with abs is a no no... but everything else is good to go!

I can't say enough good things here. Right from the get go he and his staff treated me with respect, listened to what I wanted and took time with me. He did not pressure me into more than what I asked for. The whole process of the actual surgery went smoothly. The surgery center was immaculate and professional. When returning for check ups at dr Lombardi s office I was taken in immediately as I was in obvious discomfort. His work is exactly what I was wanting, with a low and straight scar, removing what I didn't want and keeping what I did. His lipo left me without the love handles but also without lumps. The office provided me with everything I needed. I highly recommend them.
