A day by day guide to the flat side with a hematoma

Here are updated pics

Hello RS! I have been so busy living life I have been neglecting you. I feel normal! My mind has finally caught up with my body, I have adjusted to being "hot" again! I still have numbness around by bb and above/below my abdominal incision. But, it is not bothering me at this time. I am able to do my normal gym routine with no problem. I am even still losing weight and inches without trying. The only area I am unhappy with is the bra roll area. I knew that they were not going to be able to be very aggressive with that area due to it compromising blood flow to other areas but it seems to be lumpier than before, like it was not even or something. I am hoping losing an extra 10 pounds will help this area. Also, I am not sure if it is my imagination or not but it seems like I have gained stretch marks post surgery, like from skin stretching. I will work on pics later today and do a comparison.

Something I am still getting used to, I don't really have hips any more. I have to wear a belt with an alarm and keys and stuff for my prison work and my hips used to keep the belt in place without it having to be tight as I wear it on top of all my clothes. Now it kind of slides down so I have to wear it tight. I guess I would like to have a little more of a waist but I suppose that was not an option for my body as my PS said that he pulled me really tight around the waist.

I have no regrets. I would do this surgery again in a second. I feel a freedom and sort of womanly power I have not felt in years!

All is good :) My energy is back, and everything feels pretty good. The only thing I can say that feels at all uncomfortable during my normal routine is any time something hits my incision areas on my hips. It's not too bad just a little sensitive.

I am getting lots of positive feedback from my friends and acquaintances. People at work were blown away. I am not shy, and here in Cali I think it is a little more socially acceptable to have work done so pretty much everyone that knows me knows what I had done. I have given out my doctor's name and number to 5 people!

The biggest change I think is in my head. For a few years now I have felt invisible. I used to be proud of my body and enjoyed getting attention from the opposite sex. But in the past few years I felt like a blob and I wore clothes that would help me hide. Now I walk with my head high and am once again enjoying the looks I get and even just looking people in the eye as they pass and flashing a smile. I know my body is not perfect but it is sexy and curvy in all the right places. My BFF said; "you look like Jessica Rabbit" when she saw me naked. I will take it!
