Some morning pics. Wake up with zero swelling, still have a little pot belly from the swelling by afternoon.

Still can't believe the difference in before/after!!! Totally worth the money and tears! :)

Please pardon the plunger in photos LOL

You look fantastic! This surgery has been a huge blessing for me too! I got my confidence or I guess my "groove" back lol! I feel so much lighter & I have degenerative disc disease in my lower back (a few other chronic pain problems I my back too) so my back doctor recommended getting a TT for the muscle repair (mine was the worst my PS has seen in his career from a non-gastric bypass patient) so I can tighten my core to support my back. I'm so glad I did!! My back hasn't gone out on me once since March 2015!! It would go out almost monthly before surgery so I'm so happy!! You have beautiful results & should be so proud of all the work you've done! Congrats on your new life! Happy healing ;)

I'm back down to 125 and back into my usual HIIT workouts which are really toning things back up, plus the swelling has lessened even more, so I'm really starting to love how everything looks!

My right breast still hasn't dropped completely, hoping it does soon, but the girls still look pretty good I think.

Dr. Ortega did an amazing job! :)

A few new pics! I can't stop buying bras LOL!!

Wow, can hardly believe it's been 3 months!! I feel like I'm pretty much fully recovered, back to my pre-surgery fitness level and routines. I definitely still notice swelling, especially after a hard workout or if I eat too many carbs or sodium, but the swelling is isolated to the lower tummy now, the upper tummy stays pretty constant.

I have been abit worried about the right implant not dropping enough, and that I might need a revision, but just the last week it has dropped much more and I feel hopeful that by 4 months out, or 6 months at the latest, it will look just as beautiful as the left!

I am really happy with my results! My breasts are round and perky and big but not crazy big, I can downplay or emphasize them as needed ;) My stomach looks pretty great too and my belly button is perfect. My waistline is at 26", so about 3" lost from surgery. Stats right now are 36-26-36...couldn't ask for much better than that, right? :) Looking at my before pics it's shocking how big the difference is.

I hope by 6 months things are fully settled and I will really see the final final results!
