Want a little TMI FYI? When I snuck home from work, for a mid-morning delightful little quickie today - my baby says to me, as I'm riding on top:
BABY: "Your tummy is looking sooo good, darling"
ME: "I never knew you looked at my belly"
BABY: "Of course I do"

GAGGGG!!!! They are SOOO visual :(
Thank God for Plastic Surgery :) :) :)

This doctor is amazing. He is very responsive and really cares. Everytime I contacted him with a concern, whether by email, phone, or even his personal cell, he responded within an hour - usually faster! He's had his Plastic Surgiacal practice in Greensboro since 1982 - so he's grandfathered - and, with an A+ rating from BBB. Had privileges at Moses Cone Hospital for just as long and when I did my homework, even calling the hospital to speak with staffing about his records, they highly recommended him and said they would go to him themselves if needing a procedure done. I would recommend Dr. Truesdale over & over again. Oh, and his prices are extremely reasonable. I had a tummy tuck with three areas of lipo for under $8,000! Best I could find in the North Carolina Piedmont area!

I know, I was so worried about my belly button. I have one more month to heal before being Beach Bound! We celebrate Memorial Day with all of his cousins, every single year, and this year it's at the beach - go figure on why I wanted the tummy tuck, lol.


But honestly, up until last week, we'd only done it twice, cuz I was too scared to get into it and mess something up. But the past week, damn! I have been feeling better - three times better! Thinking of you, too. I know you'll be feeling fine as frog hair before long!

You look phenomenal. Reading your posts about your healing gave me hope. If mine goes half as well as yours then I will be doing good!

Why thank you! Considering what you want done, you should read my other review story. I had a breast aug in late 04, to correct severe assymetry. I love the girls now :)

P.O. 7 Weeks & 3 Days

Hi Everybody! Sorry I've been MIA - life has just been so busy. Work and play, all is back to normal now. At my 6 week checkup, doc said I'm healing extremely well, and fast. Thta most ppl don't see this kind of results for 3 months or more, with all of the nerves, fibers and tissues being traumatized. I owe it mostly to my good health, natural supplements and positive outlook. But I've had tremendous support from my loving family, (especially Baby!) super great friends and wonderful co-workers, not to mention a funny & talented surgeon :)

The first thing Dr. Truesdale said when he came in the room was, "I'm mad at you." I was shocked! Then he said, "You haven't sent me a message in over two weeks!" I guess I drove him nuts there for a while, worrying to death about every little thing, lol. But anyways, he cleared me for exercise - YAY! And I don't have to go back until August, at six months P.O.

I'm posting my before pics that he gave me - GAG - and new scar shots. Happy Healing all my R.S. Friends!!!

P.O. 5 Weeks

I'm loving the new look - went on a sales call in a short dress yesterday and felt fabulous! Scar and belly button healing, slowly but surely. I've ordered a silicone scar strip and will feel so much better when I get it on! I hate how my panties rub it and it's so hard to keep anything on it for a length of time. Otherwise, feeling great!

You are looking fabulous!! Love you in the bathing suit pic. Yes, the strips are going to be awesome. They work well and should minimize the rubbing sensation. Happy Healing!

I love the silicone strip. Been wearing it for about two weeks now and it makes me feel so much more protected. I think it's helping it heal well. I could really tell in the first few days. Now I'm just impatient for it to be gone. Haha.

I feel the same exact way. Just the other day I could have sworn that a little piece of my scar disappeared. It was completed faded. But then the next morning it was back. :-( Pretty bad sike out. Let's keep hoping for the best.
