Help with making a decision!!
WORTH IT$4,400
First of all don't kill me guys, I know it has been almost two months since my last update, but I promise to do update soon! I have been going back and forth with these sides/hips, I am trying to decide whether to get them lippoed to give an even flush on my sides, could "swell hell" be affecting my sides also? I did bring it to my PS attention and said that it gives a nice transition to my hips, but he would lipo the sides if I decided I wanted it done. Opinions please....

HELLO! Six months Woo-Hoo!!!
I am at the halfway mark of my TT, six months today! Woo-hoo!!! I am still in amazement when I look in the mirror and totally enjoying this decision. I had my six month check-up a little early (this past Saturday) because my PS will be closed on the original date(July 26), but he was very happy with the progress, scar is healing nicely and I still some minor swelling right below the BB. He released my no- restriction workout, so I can NOW truly work on my ab definition….YES! My next appt will be at my 1 year mark and he said by that time all of the hardness I currently feel, should be soft and more relaxed.
I have been still hitting the gym 5 days a week, running 5 miles while I’m there and have hit my goal weight! Now it’s about maintaining, toning and consuming the right foods. I am such a label reader now! I was addicted to the scale and had to wean myself off of stepping on it every morning, I now make it a weekly thing ..LOL.
Some of the things I’m feeling at six months:
Itchy incision
Swelling after workout
Lovely morning flatness (doesn’t last long….)
Not able yet to do a “perfect sit-up”
Very slight discomfort when sneezing
Numbness just down the center, some of the feeling is starting to come back
Bloating along with the swelling at “that time of the month” UGH!!!
Scar softening in the areas that were once hard, daily massages.
“Ken” doll look has subsided
All in all I feel great, couldn't be happier that I was blessed enough to be able to have this procedure, Happy healing to all of you.
