"Treat Yo Self!"

I missed the one year mark but wanted to be sure to share some updated pics. I still feel great with no real issues. I do still have limited sensation in my lower stomach (right above the incision). As you can see, there is a bit of a bump on my right side where I have some flab that was not captured by the tummy tuck (he cut me farther back on that side because i had a flap of fat on that side that hung). Despite these imperfections I am still very happy with the results. With a bit of weight loss i am sure that bump will go down (easier said than done... one year later and i still making baby steps in the field of weight loss!). My body has always been and will always be a work in progress but i can honestly say that the decision to have a tummy tuck put me ahead leaps and bounds in my journey ! I am very very happy with the results!

Full review is under a separate new review post (oops! That’s what i get for not posting for so long! I forgot how to use this app!). Please go over and check it out if you are interested in an update!

Wow I cannot believe that it has been six months already and I nearly let this month slip by without doing my update! I have pretty much completely healed, though when I sneeze I still have a burning pain in the side of my abdomen. I assume this may be due to scar tissue, but who knows. Other than that everything really is great. I am still making it a personal goal to drop some weight tho. I wld love to lose 25lbs, but I will take five for now if I can accomplish it... baby steps!
Oh! One thing I will say, is that when I was bloated you cld tell somewhat... more like I knew... everything body else assumed I had reached another month in my "pregnancy"! (FOOD BABY! It is so nice not to be asked if I am pregnant now!)
Now that I have had the TT when I am bloated I have the tiniest pot belly... dare I say its even "cute" but I use that term VERY loosely... generally avoiding breads and other carbs keeps my stomach flat. I have been getting in my crunches to ensure that my stomach stays tight and flat, as Dr.Rizutti assured me that as long as I did that stomach will permanently stay flat. I guess my next update will be at the one year mark! I will see you all in Feb 2018!
