A Year and a Half Later

WORTH IT$8,200
So, I haven't updated in a while..but here I am, a year and a half later! I would do it all over again tomorrow! I began working out about 3 months after my surgery, then quit...In June of this year I went back to the gym. I went through way too much to let myself go! I am proud to say I have not had lipo...just a tummytuck and some hard work! I'm not perfect, but I'm much happier in my own skin! I still have some tightness every now and then, and I am still numb in some spots. My scar is nearly invisible, the only part you can still see is where I had a scar revision a year ago. I am so happy with the new me, and I encourage others who want it but are afraid, just do it! It isn't fun or easy, but it gave me back my confidence!

I had my surgery about 1 month after yours and I agree that it was 100% worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am also numb mostly in my lower abdomen but it's nothing to worry about. You look great...thanks for the update!

Your stomach looks AMAZING! Hope you're super happy with your results. I'm jealous of your belly button.

I am a planner and any tips and ideas are always appreciated! You look wonderful... keep up the good work at the gym, it has got to be so exciting to see your efforts pay off with your new body! Keep smiling and be blessed!

Less swelling

So, as of this week I no longer sleep with my compression garment. They are all too big, between losing elasticity and my swelling going down they didn't compress much. I wake up with minimal swelling which is great! The swelling that does show up during the day isn't bad, and is not painful... So I'm fine with it! I have been going to the gym and lifting for the last 2 weeks... And I've probably done more squats in the last 2 weeks than I ever have in my life! Lol... Feels good though!
