WORTH IT$7,000
decided to continue to share the journey. it's making me more accountable. I've been cf eative with my exercise because the gym just is not my thing. I took some pole dancing classes, bought a blue, and travel places where I walk a lot. regimented exercise not so much. cheat days show immediately. I've been able to identify a pattern. a weekend of bad eating can be reversed with Three weeks of clean eating. I'm getting married in April so I'm actually going to break down and work with a trainer. I'll post my journey. I still have dark marks on my side's from wearing the compression garment. believe or not they've faded. I try to coconut oil on them directly and shea butter when I remember. its taking longer to heal than I anitcipated. recently, may be within the past few weeks the last of the scar tissue below my navel finally healed. its been rock hard forever and a bit misshapen. now it's a lot smoother. I still find that being mindful about your eating habits and doing a little something active will maintain the work. I'm excited to see what actually working out will do. stay tuned

Beautiful person inside and out. Her staff made me feel very comfortable. Cheryl is awesome and worked with my personal conflicts. She worked with my schedule and ensured that I had the best procedure. The two nurses were great. Very encouraging for my pre op. I was very comfortable and wasnt nervous. Anesthesiologist was absolutely magical. I asked him for the best sleep.. and I definitely received it. I think a checklist would have helped us in the first week of recovery. The nurses were available however my "caretaker" had simple questions that we googled that may have been helpful in a what to expect list. my 1 month post op appointment was amazing. I purposefully didnt look at my before pics and when I saw them side by side with the 1 month pics I couldnt believe i was the same person. I dont have the pre op pics but imagine a cute chunky lovable baby with fat cute rolls... that was my abdomen, literally. Again.. thank you thank you thank you. Looking forward to my second chance!

1 year post op

Next week will be my one year post op anniversary.

I honestly Just started working out January. Ive been taking dance classes twice a week. Outside of that ive been maintaining with my eating habits.

Ive gotten so used to wearing the compression garments that it now feels strange not to wear one.

I put coconut oil on my scars. They aren't as dark as they were but theyre still there. Hopefully if i keep putting it on itll eventually just fade away.

Still happy did it. Thank you Dr. Boutte

Post 6 months .

Things still looking good. I don't wear the spanks as much but I do wear them at least a few times a week. Ithing stopped around month 5. Stomach still a little lumpy but I think it's my abs. My results have referred 2 clients to Dr Boutte. They are both happy thus far. I just wish I could get a referral something since I've turned into a walking billboard. :-)

You look great! I go to her Nov. 3. Did you get lymphatic massages and wear an an board?
Ab*
No.. I MacGyvered it. I got a wood rolling pin and some baby oil and had my boyfriend roll me up every night.

Not sure what an ab board is.. but I did get girdles and spanks from Wal-Mart. As I shrunk or it lost its elasticity getting an inexpensive one to replace it didnt become a financial burden. As of today Im in a medium and still wear it a few times a week depending on what I have on. I actually just returned from vacation and was really nervous that I would gain weight but so far so good.
