Still get the itchies
WORTH IT$4,000
I’m guessing I’m not 100% back to normal yet . This week I finally started a real work out routine after my 2 surgeries. Omg I’m so weak . Like if I was found on an island lol
I woke up in the middle of the night w an itch spell that drove me mad .
I’ve read itching is a sign of healing .
Maybe I activated some dormant muscles?
It made me realize, losing the 15lb I’ve gsined through recovery isn’t as much a priority as strengthening my body & learning my limits.
Maybe I will try Pilates or yoga

Still got abs while eating snacks
My tummy still swells after a work out. I finally feel some relief from the phantom itches. I still don’t like the sides , I think I need lipo 360 + BBL
I’m ready to begin working out again now that my BA is fully healed .
My stomach still gets sharp pains when I get about a month into a routine .
I’m really not sure how to go about maintaining, I’m afraid my constant up & downs with my weight will give me lose skin again .
Health was the Drs number one priority when performing my extended tuck.
I’m hoping now my body will be ready for lipo on the sides of my hips .

Still smiling still swelling
Every day I touch my tummy I'm just as happy as when I was dreaming about having the procedure . My lower abdomen still swells when I work out. I've gained 20lb during my healing , I'm hoping this doesn't effect my results when I begin shaping by body again ( will I have loose skin again ? From the fluctuating weight ? )
Salty foods still make me swell . Recovery is way more serious than I thought . I 100% know that I'm obsessed with a B/A , my upper arms & inner thighs . But now I'm 2nd guessing myself with recovery , when will I get the time for it with 2 children & work :-/ my new Doctor of interest is the beautiful Dr.Duran .
Losing this 20lb has been very difficult
It took me 2.5 years to lose the 92lb
I see this journey of reconstruction will be even longer ! I'm so grateful for RealSelf & the women who share every part of their testimony.

You look sooooo good - I'm really impressed with that belly button and your overall shape! I'm 8 months out, and it's encouraging to hear that you, too, are still having swelling issues....I've been worried my lower belly might have some residual fat, but it does seem to be worse later in the day or after a workout, so I guess I'll just have to be patient. Enjoy flaunting that fab figure this summer!!! ;)
