Hi my courageous women!! I've been busy but still reading all your journeys and feeling so proud of all of you!! So I've completed a year and I must say this journey has been one hell of a roller coaster no one warned me about. I've gone through ups and downs still loving my surgeon as well as my other surgeons asking the way. So since I last posted my 2nd procedure to fix a seroma was great the only thing one of the wounds didn't heal like the doc wanted to and let me with a scar but I don't care because it was so much better then a beer gut after a tummy tuck!! I'll start with the downs of this surgery, the length of healing, the insecurity, the pain,the swelling and finally for a lot of us as per friends in the same situation the hubbies and their insecurities! Once that is settled the good is this beautiful body,new awesome clothes, this crazy confidence, and when hubby get his [RS bleep] together lol awesome sex!! I don't regret my decision I love my body and I'm happy I made this decision.

So yesterday when I woke up my body felt different, not sore,stiff or tight. Then I look in the mirror and sighed the night before it looked like was getting a seroma on my lower belly and all I could think was not again! So I massaged,drank tons of water and put on my tightest garment! This morning seroma is gone my other seroma is still flat and my swelling is way down. I was still doubting lol I get home look in the mirror and it was the same can the seroma and swell days finally be over!?!?! So you know what had to take pictures just in case I wake up and it was just a dream ;-) Happy Healing Beautiful Ladies!

Kisses, I am SO CONFUSED as to what to buy pre and post op.....I wrote a question above but after reading the rest of your review I am completely upside down now. PLEASE please let me know the ULTIMATE list from ALL those lovely things you purchased. The issue for me is I will not be in America post op and have the ability to purchase whenever I choose. I HAVE to order everything in one shot and hope it works. I am trying to order and have things shipped down to my lovely island where I will have to then pay for international shipping and customs taxes....you get the picture. Thank you a million times in advance! ~Nimue

I really didn't change my diet. I tend to graze which means I have to have 6 small meals a day so I try to keep it healthy. Not a lot of sugars,carbs, or fried foods I just try to keep it healthy
