I tried to post those pics last night but it was tripping. Anyway, I took my first shower this morning and it was wonderful! My belly button looks a little weird to me though, LOL!
I still have to go back back next Weds to get my stitches out of my tummy. Yesterday, they only took out my drain and belly button stitches. TTYL!

WOW! YOur tummy is flat. You totally look different already!
Thank you kumama! I hope that old belly button transform into something cute! I'm still swollen though. Thanks again for stopping by! TTYL!
Wow you are looking good. Your stomach is flat. How are you feeling?
Thanks Ms G! I'm feeling fine. I'm moving around pretty good and when my body starts telling me to put it in park, I do just that,LOL! Thanks for stopping back by. TTYL!
Hi bbbrown our b4 pics are IDENTICAL!!! I go in Dec 2 and I'm nervous but so much other personal things going on I can't focus on my surgery. I added a butt lift as a bonus, hell i'm going to be OUT then do all you gotta do cause I don't plan to ever go under again, not trying to make a career out of this. If I was flabby fat I wouldnt do this but because I am sooo round and bulgy sick of wearing all the uncomfortable girdles and being asked when I'm due. I had my tubes tied after my daughter 4 years ago so I"m all good there !! I would love to see some new updated pics now of and see how your'e doing since its been a few months. Hope to hear from you soon
Darkgirl,

I think that I have developed a seroma. I have a appointment with a plastic surgeon here in town next week. I had my surgery somewhere else and I got tired of driving 2 hrs for my appts to get told "its only swelling". I'll update you once I find out what's going on with me. Ttyl!
Hey bbbrown! How are you? whats going on with your infection? keep me posted! any pics?

I know that you're 1 Day POST OP! I'm going to send you a TEXT but I'm sure that you're out of it.. sleeping away :) Just wanted to know you're in our thoughts!
Yay! Your surgery is done! Take care and get tons of rest!
Thanks you guys! I just hope my scar is low enough my jeans and stuff!

Glad to hear you're doing okay so far. Rest up and enjoy your "me" time while it lasts. :)

BTW, what's up with all the chicken soup? Are you not allowed to eat solids or do you just really like chicken soup? ;) LOL

Oh, I was just eating light the first few days. I've had baked chicken, black eye peas, cornbread and stuff since then. I just didn't want NO trouble when it came down to potty time, LOL and no, I really don't like chicken noodle soup! And I'm getting plenty of rest too! Thanks Sharon!

Can't wait to see your pics after the bandages come off! How are you feeling?

I'm feeling wonderful Angie thanks! I can't wait to see how I look after the bandages come off too! Thanks for checking on me!
