WORTH IT$15,000
Well today was my one year anniversary and I feel good. I just met Dr. Schrieber for my one year checkup. He said I look fantastic. I am still hard on myself and think I should be much fitter but he said the scarring on the back is due to my skin is so very soft and developed a keloid but in due time and with skin care (lotion, shea butter, scaraway and lots of massaging) it should disappear where it isn't as visible. I never had any marks on my body not even during pregnancy do that is my only issue. I still am working out in gym and my muscles still gets tight and sore. He said he really tightened them and should feel that way. My only issue is I still love Popeye's Chicken and hope to kick it because I don't want to get the fluffy back or the fat goes somewhere else. Overall my fiance loves my body and can't stop wanting to grab it among other things. So I get to show it soon on vacation and be proud of this 51 in a 31 yr old body...the doctor's words not mine. Just focusing now on being healthy, beautiful and working out.

Improving and still recovering but happy

OK. It has been 6 months since my TT and lipo on flanks. I am doing well and still recovering. I went to Dr. Schreiber on my last visit with my concerns (tummy still sore, slight swelling in adominal area and feel like my midsection bends when having sex). Well he told me as long as the midsection is not bent when standing alright and that is due to how he snatched by navel and upper part of my stomach to make it more contour for my size and shape. My muscles were pulled very tight and the nerves are beginning to get back to normal so there continually will be pulls and tugs even soreness. OK I am going with him on this but listening to the body for any other unusualness. I do and feel different in a very positive way...More sexy. My man loves it even when I complain. We women always find fault even when fixed. I am telling myself everyday you look good. I am thinking so good that I am going to take budoir pics for me and a surprise gift to my man. I getting sexy back and the new free woman to be real and glorify on her image..called me loving me. Embracing it all no matter the end result BC it is damn better than before. I have attached some new pics but keep in mind the doc said it may still be another year for full recovery. Don't estimate your healing on me BC we all are different with different circumstances just focus on that you heal. NXT appt and anniversary August 2017.

Eight weeks after TT and lipo

T
tigresssly
Well some people ask me for photo updates on how I am progressing. I still have swelling at night, but expect it. I have decided to really keep check of my sodium intake because this is what bloats me in the abdomen and now flank area, but it goes down in a.m. I also love food but don't want to have fluffy come back especially what I paid to do this out of pocket (surgeon and hospital). So I have decided to cut back on quick foods especially since I am going back to work tomorrow after being off. Working hard at exercising 3xs a week. Treadmill right now. Believe or not I still have issues sometimes picking up things dropped on floor. So crunches will wait a little longer. I also ask my surgeon when is the best time instead of going at it bc I am gungho...nope I listen to him.
50 years old and feeling renewed. I still have a hard time looking at myself until the full recovery is complete. Feel like something going to happen. Trying to keep positive. Here are the pics.

I will add an update in the next few days. I just went for my 6 month checkup and he said I am doing great. I still have some soreness around my navel and upper tummy area; however he tells me that is normal because the nerves and muscles are trying to regenerate (get back to normal). I have started exercising but should have began 1 month ago but busy working. Now I have signed up for aerobics low impact classes that includes cardio, core strength and muscle training 2x a week along with treadmill at 1x a wk. Trying to eat a better diet too..Low sodium. I think I look much better but tired of the soreness and tummy still numb. Dr. Schreiber will take my before after pics on my anniversary date of surgery in August 2017. He said it can take some patients 1 - 2 years for full recovery. That news is mind blowing but I am thinking positive. At least I feel good in a bikini. Look for pics soon.

Also my soreness is also due to him having to pull my muscles way back as they say "snatched" as well as my navel. So this is why it maybe taking so long for the soreness to go away. He also had to administer more drugs (inside me) during surgery. Muscles very tight. Bear in mind your flatness of your tummy is based on your genetic makeup too.
