better chapters ahead ..

Sadly no . It's disturbing really. I feel so depressed and ashamed . And the fact that the dr and staff are so pleasant when they want the business and opposite once you are old news . Smh I have sonaba regrets

Lol thanks ! That's this morning ! I am in love w myself right now lol I'm hella swollen but I can def see that light at the end of the tunnel

Ugh I wrote a long respond and home part posted .. I knew early on I needed some revisions and had to wait til I crossed that 8/9 month mark ..

I am waiting patiently! LOL! I saw my doc on jan 4th and she says it isn't doc ears. I need a procedure called the belt. I don't have the money nor want to go through all of this. other than that I do love the front view! I am glad you also gotten a revision done.... I see the doc in June to determine. I hope she changes her mind with her decision.

I have followed your journey and your results . You look great but the way your incision ends is abnormal . She should offer some kind of repair . She went pretty high on the sides . Ask for lipo possibly . I lnownhownsensitibe we are about our bodies and something like this make us even more insecure then before tt

I am so glad to hear .... about my ends that is what I am thinking too! Everything else looks great! I agree...the doc seemed so confident that I don't have dog ears. if she would have cut lower than it would have been better and easier to hide it. :-( I am going to request that in June but by the way she sounded confident I don't think so :-( I am just going to wait till then. so the swelling can be gone by then and advise her again how I feel. I am hoping our good lord helps me on this :-)

insecurity gurl i was bad before the TT was done and you are soooooo CORRECT! that is why I haven't fully LOVE the new me yet! :-( :-) I gotta be...

@kflo3

Thank so very much

Thanks doll

Are you still getting your messages? How many have you done so far?

I'm done w them . But I got a lymphatic vibrating machine . It's amazing . I got 14 massages . Spread them out . They were done w machines specific to post surgical . Paid 400 for 10 and for 2 free and the 2 that were included from doc .how are you feeling? Is your scar smooth? I feel some knots that I will need the doc to inject w something that softens them . I still wear my garment when I'm home . Tell me more about you girl ! How's are you coming along ?

Oh ok you got a lot of massages. I've only gotten 4 so far

I just sent u a long ass message and it didn't post all of it..so pissed

Yea it was a package and it was affordable . Helped my back a whole lot . My masseuse specializes specifically in post surgical and weigh loss / maintaince . She is great . And you don't even have to pay up front . You can pay her how ever you are comfortable . Are you planning on getting more massages? You think you need them ?

Omg that happened before lol when I responded to your first comment . I was fuming lol

Lets try this again. For the most part i feel normal again. I still swell at times mostly after i eat and dont have the garment on. I still wear my garment almost 24/7 except on the weekends. My scare has healed pretty good no lumps. All i use for it is cocca butter. I have my 3 month check up next week and i have a couple concerns. Like why haven't i seen a change in the last month and why do i have this roll when i sit down that he promised me would go away.

How do you know if you really need them? Lol i want them i love how they feel

Thank you! That is what I am thinking the first week yikes! After having three c section, hernia, and clavicle bone with a metal plate and screws. I can handle it ... it is more the results that scare me.

Just know you will be improved but that there is no perfection . Once you see the new yoi you will find something to pick on . I was having a conversation w my fiancé and she made a lot of sense when she pointed out how great I look . But that no matter what I have been programed to pick on myself . This is why I say I am a work in progress. You are fit so I am positive your results will be amazing .

I have in my head that I will not look like a model lol or no perfection. After all my weight lost there is two things I am trying to work on which is my TT and my wings under my arms. Next year I want to get my wings gone! Your fiancé is right! My hubby tells me all the time.... don't be so hard on yourself! So you are right! The roll on my pants and wearing a tank top is my goal to feel good at! When you said "you are fit" I hear that all the time! You just hit me with something I need to remember and to continue doing! :-) I love working out... it is my stress reliever without doing anything is going to kick my stress up sky high! :-)

Believe it or not rest is the most important part of recovery . I am 4 and 19 days and if I am overactive I can feel the fatigue . You need to really really rest and be selfish and let other so for you for the first 8 weeks . The swelling is crazy so the more you rest and prop up your feet the better . Cause that's what will drive you crazy . Your body looking swollen and you feeling very achy and stiff and then not picking cause your true result can take up to 6 months to really shine through . This is why I tell myself to be patient and just do what I need to do to maintain my weight .

Being a Latin woman doesn't help. Vanity and body image is instilled in is from a young age . And this is where all the not picking comes from lol

A busy life can really do some number on the rest and do nothing thing. Gotta take it like a mini vacation! LOL! Food would be the most important think to intake to not gain weight. Cause you know working out helps you intake as well! Thanks for your advise and you will be hearing from me soon as I go through my roller coaster ride soon! One more day.... tomorrow is my Friday for work.

I hear ya... im latin as well! :-)

Just try to free your mind from the nerves lol .. You will be ok and you will see how fast time flies after ..

Yes... nerves are cleaning up my tummy right now! LOL!
