Well I haven't been on here in a week, it will take me a bit to catch up on all the updated reviews, lol! I've been trying to focus on healing, and I think I'm doing good so far. ;)

I had another post-op visit with Dr. Camp this past Tuesday. He removed the new stitches from the area I tore open, put another steri-strip on, told me I'm doing great, and then gave me the bad/depressing/extremely sad news.... I will NOT be riding any of the rides with my son when we spend a week in Disney at the end of this month!!!!! :((((((((( Yes, I cried. Yes, I thought about just canceling the trip all together. Yes, I thought about having someone else go with him while I stay home and sulk and cry. Yes, I spent the rest of Tuesday and all day Wednesday beating myself up again and again and again for picking up that stupid baseball!!!! But, I finally came to terms with it. It is what it is. I can't go back and I can't live in that mistake any longer. So, I'm going to spend a week in Disney with my son and I will make the best of it!

Other than that, there's not much news on my end. I'm staying down and resting as much as I can. From my left hip all the to the center I feel great! I'm still numb on the scar of course, but there's no pain, tenderness or irritation whatsoever. It's awesome. My right side is a different story. It hurts. It's irritated. And it's a PITA! But again, it is what it is...

And that's all I have to say for my one month update! ;)

Looks great. I'd never have thought twice and done the sMe thing with the ball. I hope it doesn't set you back too far.

New BB Ring!

User Avatar

Well I bought a cheapo bb ring yesterday at Wally World, just to see if
1) I could actually get it back in (it's been over a year since I've had one in)
and
2) To see if it or my bb still looked crooked, lol

So yes, it went in, but not easily. And I think when I had it pierced (15+ years ago!!!) they actually did it crooked, cuz it's always been crooked! But I might see if they're able to straighten it out. Later. Down the road. ;)

I think my incision/scar is looking great on the left side. Of course I can't see the right side at the moment. But on the left there's just the one little scab area that needs to fall off, the rest is so thin! Love it! And it's not all that dark to me. Hoping I can see the right side soon and start scar treatments.

The weather here is bi-polar once again...Friday afternoon it was almost 90, today it's in the 50's. Hubby and I are supposed to be going to the Nascar race tomorrow, but it's supposed to rain all day. Blah. :/ So maybe we will go and just tailgate in the parking lot all day, lol!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

OMG I was just thinking with my new flat tummy I wanna get a bb ring I had one of those fake ones after I lost my weight but oh my I did not wear it much because of all my loose skin so now that I see how great yours looks I am looking so forward to getting one!! Btw yes your scar looks so thin and great! I can't wait to see how mine looks without steri strips! They are no where ready to come off yet. Doc said that I could start putting Vaseline on it two weeks from last visit which will be not this Monday but next I can't wait! Thanks for sharing I am excited for you and btw our weather is same way here....one day 75 next 35 :(

Yes, I think I am! I did (half-jokingly) mention to Dr. Camp a while back that I'd love to have a BBL....now I've been looking at some of the results here and I'm thinking I might seriously want one! LOL. My hubby always says I have a nice, round "cheerleader ass"....but it's not as round as it used to be, and I could use some more junk in my trunk, lol! Aaahhhhh...pretty sure I'd never do it, but it's nice to dream right? ;)

Hahahaha I love your BBL comment, I told my man the same thing, but he is against it. He says the TT is enough. We shall see. Give me a year, after the TT I'd paid off, I might just be getting my extra lipo and BBL :) Your results are awesome!

Lol! Well I think I'll try squats and lunges first, when I am able to, but I've gotta try and do something to stop the force of gravity, lol! Thank you! :)

Ok the booty lift pics are funny! Didn't even know such an app exsisted! Your "dog ear" turned out lovely. Really glad you shared that as I would have felt nervous that I had a dog ear as well. Nice to see most lumps and bumps subside! And nice bikini choice! Looks fantastic on you! I am counting down the days!!

Ha!! I have always thought that to but since I had lipo on other areas, my body seems to be moving the fat there and taking care of my J-Lo bootie on it's own.
