Almost 4 Years Later and Still Rocking It!
WORTH IT$8,600
Just a few words of encouragement to those considering or recovering from a tummy tuck with lipo.
January will mark four years since my surgery and I am still very happy.
I had to get some weight off this year as I put on weight after a lot of personal loss. I am now lighter than I have been in at least fifteen years and I can really appreciate my surgeon's efforts.
You can do this! Best wishes to you!

2 Years!
Wow, I was reminded by D that today marks my 2 year anniversary of my TT! Time has really flown by, and while all of the RS sisters that were on this site with me back then have long gone, I just wanted to leave a word of encouragement to those undertaking this journey. Yes it is tough and there will be times when you will doubt your decision, but know that ultimately you will see the reward of all of your hard work.
Yes, I am still flat and I still run to the mirror every day to make sure! I am growing a butT now...it's where I am now storing fat now if I am not careful. I realize that this will be a lifetime commitment in order to maintain what I worked so very hard to attain; a happier me.
I am sorry that it took so long to reach out to and answer questions from those who have sought me out. The site really does "boot you out" from notifications after a while as I guess they want recent reviews and such. This is not the best picture to show off my figure but one demonstrating that life is going on, the birthdays continue, and I am still happy and blessed. May you be blessed and full of joy as well. Take care!

One year today!
I just realized that today is the one year anniversary of my tummy tuck! While I knew that it was approaching, I haven't overly focused on it as I did with milestones past. I suppose that means that I have come a long way from the days of looking for any inkling of progress! I do remember those times. All of you new TTers remember, progress Will come!
I feel good overall. Not "normal" but good. I have incisional itchiness and I am numb from my BB to my incision. While I still have MR tightness, it is not nearly as severe. Sometimes I barely notice it (or I have adjusted to it).
I can wear all sorts of things that I would not dream of wearing before surgery but I mainly just want to look good in what I have. I don't have try on shame in the store anymore which is great!
I still fear getting fat and looking fat in some clothes; like this dress that I wore for New Year's. It is 12-15 years old and I guess. I should be pleased that I could easily fit it but I picked these pictures apart, of course.
I can tell where I will put on weight if not careful and still need to get back Into my before surgery workout routine. I still run to the mirror fearing that I have regained my fat belly. Guilt I guess. I have adjusted my eating habits and can easily put the breaks on when I am getting carried away.
I don't expect much feedback as almost everyone that I know from the site is not posting anymore but I wish everyone much love, happiness and success with their journeys! Hi Awake, Happy Suzy, Laurie! Hope you are all well!

Thank you Awake! Yeah I still try to keep busy but I am trying to cope with my sick mom right now which has been hard for many reasons. I do have my sister's and brother for which I am grateful.
I haven't been getting emails either and I haven't changed any settings. Does the site cut you off after a while? Geesh! Such love! Anyway, glad you are doing well beautiful!

You look beautiful! We are so hard on ourselves, aren't we? I'm the same way about the 'normal' thing. I don't feel like I used to, this is our new 'normal' now: tight abs, numb tummy, albeit FLAT tummy :D weird itching places in our incision area we can't seem to get relief from scratching... Lol.. But overall,
We just need to love ourselves. I think if our 90-year-old-self could look back at us now, she'd say appreciate your youthful body, mind, and looks while you have them. Love yourself as you are :) and just enjoy the days we wake up happy & healthy. It was nice hearing from you. Keep us posted in the future. I'll be 1 year post in a few more days.

Congratulations on your near one year mark too! I can't wait until my incision matures and I can leave my hips alone. I think the winter dryness is making it worse so I am back to extra moisturizing.
Yeah, I can look back on older pics of just a few years ago and love those but pick new ones apart because they don't look like those! Kind of coo coo I know. I should appreciate the present and know that it could be a lot worse, like health issues. I have simply always steered away from taking pictures and have been self conscious about it but fine otherwise. Oh well, glad to hear from you and look forward to your one year review!

Wow Girl, you really do look magnificent. Not bad for 4years post-surgery. Re-read your whole episode hear to realise your achievements. It has been worth it for you. You must be psychic as only the other day I was wondering how several of 'my girls' were going as they approached their milestones. Well done and keep it up.
