6 month update
My body feels almost back to normal but my ab still isn't as strong as it was before the surgery. I've gained a few pounds because I haven't worked out like I used to plus the summer has been very social...lots of eating and drinking. Stil I think I look better than ever. Imagine what i could achieve if i got back to my workout regimne. These days i feel good in EVERYTHING i wear. So glad i did this.
almost 5 months post op
I've been working out doing body combat and body pump but I've had to cut back recently bcuz the soreness on my abs was almost as bad as in the beginning. maybe i should lay off the abs a bit. Overall. I like the definition in my abs and have no regrets. My scar is flat and thinning out and the rippling on i previously described is almost gone although i still have some rippling on the ends. My incision is still red and i can't wait till it fades. The incision is the only ugly thing about this. I've gained 3 or 4 pounds since slowing down on my work outs but overall im loving how i look.
2 months...
Swelling is gone and im not using a girdle or spanx anymore. numbness is starting to go away and my scar is pretty flat. i still have some rippling in my incision on the left side like my stitches are pulling my skin but even that has gotten better slowly. here are some pics i took today.

Prior to meeting Dr Hochstein I met with 2 surgeons in Chicago. Both didn't seem very confident in being able to get rid of all my stretch marks. When I met w Dr Hochstein he was very confident in being able to get me the results I'm looking for and is even going to lipo everything from the bra down to really chisel everything out. I'm excited but terrified about the recovery.
