Hi Ladies! Just got back from Aruba! It's been almost 2 years since I had surgery and I'm still maintaining! ????
I found a new therapist that I have been using since March and I continue to go for weekly lymphatic massage Just because I love it. Tummy Tuck was well worth the money, I wish that I had done it years ago!

By the way, your status still shows "Not Sure". When you are ready, don't forget to change that to "Worth It".

I'm doing well. Some swelling by evening however it is getting better! I went to Florida last week and actually got to wear the new bathing suit bbc.co purchased. I did not expose my body to the sun as I am still healing and used sun screen I stopped using silicone strips and now use constricted gel on my TT scar. I enjoy my weekly lymphatic massage. No regrets! I love the flat side.

Oh yeah I got a new sundress for myself size 6!!!!! Yeah. Im still am watching what I eat. The surgery alone is not enough. We really have to change our eating habits as well. Every now and then I fall off but you know what I don't beat myself up, I just brush off and get back to what I know I need to be doing. :-)
