Still maintaining!

$4,888
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!

Happy for you that you had such stellar results!
Where did you purchase your board at. I have not been able to find it. thanks
Hi TBQueen, you look like a queen indeed! Not only a queen, but you could be a model too! Thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration to the rest of us.
By the way, your status still shows "Not Sure". When you are ready, don't forget to change that to "Worth It".

3 month post op TT

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.

For anyone interested my son is diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis ( a cousin toMS. The state of connecticut is having it's first Walkathon! I was able to get yale new haven hospital as a sponsor. Feel free tyouo donate to my fundraising page at mgwalk.org/connecticut click onto team scott taylor then donate to my page. Toni and Steven Brown. ALL funds go directly ot the MG Foundation.

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. :-)

You will be able to be a blessing to others because of your experience! Hang in there Im keeping you in prayer. :-)
