8 Days Postop I MADE IT!

WORTH IT$6,301
I love being able to show off my stomach and not worry about that ugly saggy skin. However, I hate the scar. I can't wear the cuter bikini bottoms without that scar showing and it's from hip to hip. Maybe it will slowly start to fade even more over the next few years. I still will have a pain in my right ab muscle that happened 3 months after surgery and it still sneaks up on me every once in a while. Very uncomfortable! I read up on it and it seems to be normal side effects to this surgery. Nothing that one can't handle just very uncomfortable at times. Has anyone had any complications this far post op? In their immune system, or anything?
One thing I want to tell anyone getting this ask about how to reduce scar tissue underneath the skin. I had a surgery last May 2019 to remove my tubes due to abnormal cells and the surgeon said he had to cut through a very large amount of scar tissue. He said he helped me out and removed as much as he could starting from the belly button area and all the way down. I'm not sure why this happened and Id never known this if I didn't have that other surgery. Ask LOTS of questions people.
My friends asked me if I'd do it again and I truly don't know if all the pain and complications post surgery were worth it. But it's a question that I couldn't answer right away. I love my stomach and how flat it is but that scar is so disappointing to me. So my answer is yes. I'd do it again bc it's over and I have a beautiful stomach for ever now. And ultimately at the end of the day it's how I feel about myself when I look in the mirror and I love seeing my stomach flat. I just hide the scar. Plus I don't have to be in the gym forever just to lose the belly bump.
This is not an easy post op surgery. One of my worst pain wise. But stick it out and you'll be happy and love it! Good Luck to all!
My next surgery to come!! Taking out my old breast implants and upgrading. Coming September 2020:)

Another week down!!
8 week doctor appointment February 1st!!! Hopefully I get the go ahead to get back in the gym!!!! I feel great! The center of my stomach is still numb. I still can't lift a case of water without feeling tingling after. I'm wearing my spanx through the day and my binder at night. My belly button is looking SO much better!!!

I had one myself - after 1 week I looked incredible compared to before my op. 3 weeks after I thought I had started to swell by my surgeon said it would reduce. After 6 weeks I took my binder off and then at 8 weeks I've continued to get bigger every week. My surgeon thinks I'm over doing it although I'm resting a lot when not in the office, it have put my compression pants on in the day again now and binder at night. I'm nowhere near as good as I was after 1 week... have you experienced anything like this??? Thanks

6 weeks!!!
It's been six whole weeks and I'm feeling amazing!! I have two more weeks until I see my doctor and I'm hoping I can go back to the gym. I'm still not 100% yet. My abs still hurt if I over stretch. The pain is bearable, I need no pain meds. I love how lose my pants fit around my waist!!! I feel like a new woman!!!
