I finally got some rest this morning. My Hubby got up with Christian, made him Breakfast and took him outside to play so I could stay in bed and sleep. That was wonderful. I'm not in ALOT of pain. Just pretty sore where the new cuts were made. I'm going to upload a pic from this morning. The steri strips are on and I'm babying my activity. I learned my lesson the first time I didn't listen and had to pay for it. I'm doing everything my surgeon says to do and nothing more or less. I don't want any issues or complications to arise from the new incisions.
I sent my side by side pics to Dr. Hamel and his staff. They want to put them on their website as well as in each of their patient rooms and offices. That was awesome hearing.
He also wants to Lipo my stomach and love handles again on his time not cost to me to give me an even better contour. I'm excited about that. I just adore him and his staff. He is re

Tonight I met with my PS and had my Dog Ears removed. The procedure took about 45 mins. I was numbed well and didn't feel a thing. It was a pain free procedure. I will upload a picture of what he cut off from the incision. I'm looking forward to seeing my new incision line. No shower for 4 days. Must sleep on my back for 4 nights. Right now my pain level is a 6 from a 1-10. They asked if I wanted any pain medicine I said NO, I'm tough. I must be crazy! Note to self anytime someone asks if you want pain medicine TAKE IT! The numbing is wearing off and I can already tell this might be a rough night. Hopefully, I'm wrong. If needed I can go by the office in the morning to get some pain medicine. I just have to make it through tonight.
Monday my surgeon is going to go ahead and do the C02 laser on my tt incision and around my belly button. I can't wait to see my results in the next month once everything has healed up.

Hun holy schmoly!!! You need to get that 4 day pic in the blue undewear and this recent one together, wow what a difference, you have been through it all and you are looking super! I am certain you will meet all your weight loss goals!! WOW its really impressive to see the full body shots like that! Be glad you have booty. Oh hun from me losing 150 pounds my thighs are dreadful, but I hear that surgery is really bad so I am letting it flap after this I am afraid to even get my boobs done, LOL

Thank you B for suggesting to pull up both pics. I decided to then do make side by side pics and I posted them on here. I can finally see the results better over time. You are amazing! Girl don't be afraid to get your boobs done that is if you want them done :) Gosh I can't wait until I get to that procedure! Breast feeding along with the weight gain did mine in. I went from a 36 b perky before I got pregnant to a 36dd saggy afterwards LOL the things mother's do for their children.

What is co2 laser? Does it really remove stretch marks? I heard nothing gets rid
May 4, 2012
The fractional CO2 laser is used to reverse the effects of skin aging and sun damage to the skin. The laser will have the effect of skin tightening, filling in lines and wrinkles, improving discoloration of the skin (brown spots), and improving the tone/texture of the skin itself. It also improves the appearnce of large pores and stretch marks. My understanding is that it will resurface the skin there for making the appearance of stretch marks hardly noticeable. You are correct nothing will ever remove stretch marks but the difference after being co2'd is amazing. Some patients who were considering a scar revision have turned to co2ing and are very happy with their results :) Hope this helps a little. Ask you surgeon about it.

Wow h can really see the results with side by sides. You look fantastic.
May 4, 2012
Thank you :) B suggested pulling up several pictures. I was pretty amazed myself when I placed them side by side.

You are like the incredible shrinking woman...Lol. You look better every update. I know you must be proud of your progress

LOL Thank you Mindy Lou. I'm having a hard time with my self image. Some day's I look down and I feel like I did 2 months ago and then some days I look at pictures I upload and I feel like I look smaller than a size 16. It's a mind war, but the side to side pictures help me to realize my progress so far :) One thing is for sure I am feel 10x better today than I did in the beginning of March before my procedures.

May 4, 2012
I agree with Mindy Lou. Your comparison photos show that you have progressively gotten smaller..and smaller..and smaller! You look phenomenal!!
