I loved reading your posts and especially loved reading your "I have no excuse" lines. So honest and transparent and very commendable. Because there are many people out there who give excuse after excuse…in regards to….anything really. It is refreshing to hear or read someone come out and say "nope I've just been plain lazy…that's the truth!". I find that very refreshing :) I also understand to some extent the disappointment in what you wished your tummy would look like. I had a wonderful surgery and great surgeon-but unexpected other emergency surgeries came up afterward…and where else other than on my perfect little tummy. So now I have tons of scars on my tummy after my tummy tuck. It got me down for a while…and still does sometimes when I look down and see them all. But oh well! Life goes on and no one is or will ever be perfect! :) Best of luck to you xxoo

Not as nice as most I've seen on here but my tummy looks much better than it did the day before my surgery.

I can hardly believe it's been a year since my surgery. I have not updated in a long time and there is no excuse. I have had some ups and downs but I am determined to keep moving forward. There is still numbness around my belly button and lower abdomen area. I have not exercised regularly like my Dr. recommended. I notice that when I do, my tummy get a bits tighter and tingles a bit. I do not think I will regain full sensation in my lower tummy. The scar tissue has shrunk but it's not completely flat. Again, I don't think it will go away.

I am ashamed that I haven't worked out like I should. I walk from time to time and did aerobics for a few weeks. Still, I have no excuse other than I have been lazy. I was a bit down for a while after my surgery. One good thing is that I have not gained any more weight. I lost about 16lbs since the surgery. I will try to muster up the nerve to post pics. I feel like I should look a bit better than I do. There is a small pouch where the scar tissue is and that's a bit depressing. Even though my tummy is not flat in that area, I still love that I am not as big as I was. All that extra skin has not been missed. :-)
