WORTH IT$10,000
Its been a little over 1.5 years later since my last step of my journey. I'm very pleased and happy with my results. I'm far from perfect especially my boobs but I'm still happy. I'm pain free and stronger from my tummy tuck. I went wakeboarding last weekend for the first time in over 3 years and it felt awesome. Having my muscles sewed back together from having my 9.5 lb son was one of the worst pains I dealt with and the hardest to recover from for me at least. But it was worth every penny. I'm stronger now and not in pain anymore. I have such back pain from having my last child who was 9.5 lbs because my muscles were all wacked out. I'm so glad I got the tummy tuck done because it made such a huge difference. My scares are barely there. I didnt do any scar treatments or creams. One thing my body does well is healing well with scars. My belly button wasnt my friend when I had the surgery but it's not bad now and I'm not going to touch it. My nipples are different sizes but my problem child nipple Boob as I call it lol is the bigger one. But it's fine nothing to bat an eye over. It's a nipple. I'm not a stripper no one sees them except my hubby and he loves the way I look. No ones body is perfect but I'm happy with my results.

So happy to see an update from you! You look great! I completely agree about feeling stronger! I had giant babies too (last one 10lbs) and my PS said my insides were a wreck. So glad we did this for ourselves, we truly needed a reconstruction!! Love those swim suits!

It's been a long time since I have been on here but I'm doing great! I'm going to post an update. My tummy tuck was the best decision I have done! My scars are barely there. I'm strong again and have no more back pain! My belly button didnt heal perfect but I dont care about it not being perfect because I'm pain free! And I get alot of compliments of how good I look :) I'm very happy

Each week gets better and better. my binder isnstill my best friend during the day when walking but horrible when i sleep so i wear a shaper at night. Sleep is getting better, i still havent slept more than 2 hours at a time. im liking my results very much with everything. my boobs will never be looking like each other but they are close enough for me.
my belly button is still a lil worry some but i think its getting better day but day. i have some pickering below my belly button but it doesnt bother me so much plus my dr said after everything is healed and if i want to fix it he can and i wont need to be put under for that. we shall see. my way of thinking is if its not broken dont fix it lol. my scar is super thin and low. im just crossing fingers it continues to heal in that direction.

The good news is that if you're unhappy with the end result, that's a really easy fix, not the giant recovery required from a TT. Keep us posted with updates!
