I Gotta Love/Hate Relationship With My TT..- Moline, IL

UPDATED FROM Nippz_7919

Here are the scars from under my arms/armpits.

I searched and searched, and sadly I have no before pics. So only can post the after. I had a good amount of skin and fat removed. It used to be a flap that sorta hung down.
So happy with the results and the scarring is so minimal.

Nippz, you are looking good. Your pics look like youve progressed well. Like the under arm skin removed. I had mine lipoed only. Just took the fluff out. Im still swollen. Waitin to see how it will look.

Did you do this in the hospital or facility?

I keep forgetting this part!!

So I forgot to add.....When I had my surgery, I added another procedure. I had a flabby flap of fat (Say that 5 times real fast. LoL!!) under my arm pit area..On my bra line. It had always bothered me and I figured that if I was going to get lipo on my back, I would look stupid with that left. So I had then remove. BEST decision and extra $1500 I have ever spent. I feel so much better when I wear a tank top and don't have the fat squishing out the back of my arm, and I feel even better that I don't have to tuck my boobs forward to make it less noticeable. OH, and the cherry on top was, that my boobs kinda lifted a little too.
I will try to find a few before pics here soon, and take some of the after pics and some to show my scar.

Your results are looking good! Looking forward to future updates. :) I'm so jealous of your belly button! ♥

Thank you!! I am trying to keep my updates current, that way if anyone is going thru what I am, they know they are not alone and know what to possibly expect. And thanks, it seems weird to have my belly button that high, but I am getting used to it. LoL.

Almost to my 3 month mark.

Nippz_7919June 25, 2013
So here I am almost 3 months has passed, and still have mixed emotions about my choice.
I am finally posting a few older pics of when I have the 2nd emergency tubes in, and a few pics from this morning.
While on vacation all we did was ride in a car and eat, so there was a gain of a few pounds and then this week the TOM is coming so I am eating constantly and retaining water. I feel FAT!!!
Last weekend I was so bummed, whenever I eat too much I look like I am pregnant. UGH! I am starting a weight loss program next week and I am hoping that helps me kick start my metabolism.
So looking at the pics, I am happy that I am alot smaller and that alot of the swelling has went down....But, my mons pubic area is now making me self conscious. He said he could fix that later. But I really wish he would have done a better job when I was under the knife.
So now I am in debt for almost $12,000 (emergency surgury included now) and I don't feel as amazing as I thought I would feel.
Doc said if I lost 15lbs I would look amazing.....Well, I am gonna try and I hope I don't look awkward for the rest of my life.
I think maybe if I had a bigger butt I would feel better.....Better start on the squats! LoL
