Eagerly Waiting

I am a few days post op from lowering my scar. I have to say that My surgeon is THEE best surgeon on the planet, hands down. He was totally honest upfront with me from day one when he said that the scar would be higher due to my lack of lose skin. However, with that said, he understood my disappointment with my scar and worked with me to do what he can do. He made me feel at ease during the procedure and even suggested that we try to lower the scar more in the future. I will post pictures as I heal.

Well, its been one year post-op now and the healing has been difficult. I see great results with diet and exercise everywhere except the dreaded abdominal area. It still remains a "troubled" area despite great results from a tummy tuck. I LOVE the boobs but realize that I will always have this love-hate relationship with my tummy. I do believe that in anther years time I will come to enjoy it more as I will be in even better physical shape. I am scheduled for a scar revision to attempt to lower my very high scar. I am not expecting perfection and I am not looking forward to healing again, however, I am just so grateful that my PS is even willing to do the surgery as there are no guarantees. I will post some before and after photos in march. Good luck to all of you who are just beginning your journey. My only advice to you is not expect perfection, and do not compare your self to others. This surgery enhanced me but, when it was all said and done...it did not fix my insecurities or help me to love myself any more. In some regards in made me focus MORE on my perceived flaws.

It has been awhile since I updated, I went through a little "blue" period trying to adjust to going back to work and still not being able to work out.
I am up at least 10 pounds and I have lost some definition all over. I took up overeating and indulging!

Work has been going better then expected and I have been cleared for all exercise. I started day one of P90X today and it felt great!!! I am going to work up to running by next week. All in All... I am feeling so much better and I am excited to see what this new body can do!
