Oh my gosh! You look amazing! I would not be able to even tell you had a TT. Hopeful I will have a similar outcome someday very soon!
Thanks - when is yours? The only stretch marks I have left are the little ones above the pubic line... those used to be above my belly button - compared to what I had before - I'll take it
Still working on saving up the funds....and getting the nerve to actually do it. :-/ I was originally hoping to do it this spring, but it's looking more like fall time. It's so good to read reviews like yours and see pictures that show me what I have to look forward to! Especially when the "before" pics look similar to me (like yours!)
your story is exactly how I'm hoping mine will go! I have a consultation with the same doctor soon for the same procedure. Thanks so much for posting this, it's been so helpful in my decision making process!

7 week update

So it's been 7 weeks and I feel great... started back at the gym about a week ago and I'm slowly getting back to where I was... I used to be able to run for 40 mins straight but now I get to 10 and have to stop so it's going to take me a little bit to work my way back... bought 3 bathing suits last week as we just booked a trip to the Caribbean in January. This is one of them. I have not worn a 2 piece in 19 years so it's pretty emotional... my scar - I massage everyday still with a gel my PS gave me and yesterday I bought Bio Oil to see if that helps... has anyone ever used that? My belly button is starting to not look as stretched which is great.. when I get undressed I see my husband looking at me like he has never done before and it makes me feel so good... he has always said I was beautiful no matter what but I didn't feel it - until now. This was the best decision I have ever made - aside from marrying him and having my kids that is lol... oh and last night I slept on my stomach for the first time since before surgery... felt so good. That's how I usually sleep so I was pretty excited

We had very similar tummies b4 the TT but your results are way better than mine. You look fantastic. Take care and thanks for sharing
Thanks - I regretted it at first because I was in so much pain but now I am so happy... hopefully you are too - we deserve it
