This is excellent. I've lost 98lbs in 2 years and I'm booked in for TT in 2 days in London UK. This is by far the best progress blog I've read. Very very helpful. Thank you

Nice one! Personally, i think you didn't look like you needed TT, but hey you are happy and that's the main thing. Looks great

9 months on!

Just a quick update. I am nearly 9 months post op, and feeling pretty much 100% normal. The scare is healing well, and the results are great. I expect the scare will really start to improve now we are getting closer to 12 months. One updated pic attached.
Seeing the surgeon next week for a check up!

Do you have pictures before the liposuction for gynecomastia. You look great! I hope to have the same results as you when I get my chest and TT some time next year.

3 Months Post Op - So yesterday I passed 3 months...

3 Months Post Op - So yesterday I passed 3 months post op. I am so happy with the results, and every week they just get better. Still can't do EVERYTHING at the gym, generally the things which require a lot of stretching or pulling are still out of reach (like pull ups, clean & snatch etc). But I am easily doing sit ups, dips, bench press, rowing, running, kettle bell swings etc.

I still find a get a bit swollen above the incision, though nothing like it used to be.

The incision itself is healed, and definitely in the darkening stage, but I am confident it will heal very nicely.

My belly button is starting to look really good, now that the small scar is starting to fad.

In terms of feeling/sensation - things are starting to come back. I still have a level of numbness between my belly button and the incision, but I am really starting to get feeling which is good.

Two new pics posted - my abdominal muscles are starting to come through! :D

Thank you so much for your posts and experiences with this. Your results look amazing and inspiring. I am a 25yo male in Melbourne who has lost 65kg of weight and also have excess skin issues (mine are far worse than yours i think). I haven't been able to find a doctor that specializes in these kind of surgeries in Mebourne until now, i will have to consider Dr Bloom (No-one ever mentioned him to me). Once again thank you!

No worries at all cidurm! I am glad it has helped! I couldn't happier with Dr Bloom - he has been wonderful through this whole process... Best of luck!
