9 Months!
WORTH IT$7,500
Hello Ladies! I'm sorry I have been MIA, You know how our goes, life, it's just kinda busy. I'm still loving my results! My stomach is pretty soft, I can even suck it in and push it out. My belly button still has the ring of hypertrophic scar :-( oh well, also I have a two inch hypertrophic scar on the very front supapubic area, it's kinda dark too, not as dark as in some of the pictures but dark. I think it will eventually lighten may take years though. It's still numb in areas and I still get a "phantom" itch I can't quite scratch hehe! I don't like excessive that makes me push abs outward.I wear my waist trainer a couple times a week or so, because I tend to relax and want to stand in a belly out kind of posture, not a nice look. I have a small bump/lump above or BB, it's very slight, and mostly unnoticeable. I've had since day one, I'm guessing it's my guts, or long bb stem, who knows I don't care but thought I should mention it in case someone has insight or is also experiencing something similar. I'm enjoying wearing tight jeans and tight shirts, I'm enjoying wearing everything actually! I would do this surgery again in a heartbeat! I hope you are all doing great!

Scar Revision Today!
Hello Ladies! I had my revision today. Ouch! Okay, okay a bit of an exaggeration, but the shot to get nice and numb, freaking stung! We chatted about my new favorite subject Wheat Belly, and it was over in 15 min. The scar had smoothed a lot since that "Before" picture was taken, almost considered not having it done at all, but I thought awe heckler, it can't look worse, only better, so here I am! I can already tell I like the direction better, and he only extended the scar about a half inch, if that. I'm happy!

Ugh, the worst days were the first 10, especially the constipation issues! Oh yeah the 5 Wks mark was yucky for me, the getting the feeling back!The tea can be found at the health stores, higher end grocery stores, and my Wal-Mart even had it! Just make sure you rest after those busy days, and thank you for the encouragment, feel blessed to get to help.

You're looking really good!! So do you have to be careful for awhile now? Jazzercise sounds so good right now.....I can't wait for my revision to heal. Just one week and already I feel my tummy is larger, can't wait to be allowed to exercise again.

Sleeping
Oh ya I forgot to mention that I still sleep on my back. I'm a big time side sleeper but it doesn't feel good on my belly, like its un supported , kinda like it's bad posture for the tummy . I never sleep on my stomach, So back sleeper I've become, one pillow under the knees, one under shoulders, one under neck, weird I know but I sleep like a baby!

Those are some super kind words sister!!! Wow, thank you! I'm finally feel like I'm truly able to responsibly care for my body as I should, with surgery I can even "see" the difference, before I would just see sagging skin. You made my day today :-)
