WORTH IT$18,000
I thought I would put these photos together. I could not find an app that would work for a collage. I'm wondering why I waited so long? I am so pleased with my results and it just gets better with time. It's a hard surgery with a long slow recovery but worth the wait.

I have updated for quite some time bit I am roughly 6 most post surgery. I had a follow up with my Dr. last week. All is well. I am still thrilled with my results.
My scar is still pretty dark but it's getting softer with each passing day. I still do have some minimal swelling by end of day. It is minimal but I still notice it after some meals and evening hours.
Other than that, I feel great and look great.
I will follow up with my practicianer in August when I hit the one year mark.
So glad I did this.

Thanks so much. I have literally never been happier with the way I look. I look back at my "before" picture and I just can't believe the transformation.

It seems like forever since my surgery despite some residual swelling. It is getting better though. I've attached some photos maybe you can spot the small differences from my older photos. Maybe.
Everything went well at Disneyland I didn't swell more than normal and I had no issues with tiredness.
I decided to take the spit stitch issue into my own hands because it was getting too irritating and I couldn't imagine dealing with it while walking around Disney all day.
I basically fished it out. It was literally just at skin level. I managed to grab it with some sterile tweezers, I gave it a slight tug and that thing wasn't going anywhere. With the help of my husband I gently pulled on the string used something to push the skin down as much as I could and my husband snipped the end off. Voila! It retracted back into my skin and I've been happy ever since.
I have good news and I have bad news...the bad news is I'm about to spend a lot of money because I can't seem to keep a single pair of pants from sliding down my butt. Wait, that is also the good news. Anyway, between the reduction in swelling and losing a few pounds since surgery what I had left of my older pants no longer work.
Let's just say, I'm really happy with things. Looking forward to posting an update for when I finally feel free of swelling.
Sorry for the quality of these pictures but they best taken in the morning before end of day swelling and I'm the only one awake.

I suppose there are worse "problems" to have. I just am unsure how much things will change over the next few month so I am trying to keep from buying too much. Thanks for the comment!
