Hello ladies,

Well its been a year and I still love my results. I started at around 222lbs and I am now down to 167 when my goal was 175. My scar has healed nicely but the left side healed much better than the right so Im probably going to get a tattoo over it :-) my belly button is getting lighter everyday thanks to a steroid creame that I just started using 2 weeks ago. All in all it was a great experience and Im glad I didnt chicken out!

Well its been quite a while since I have really had the chance to get on here and update my review. Well im feeling great and it gets better everyday. I still swell a bit here or there if I do to much. Im bloated in my pics but everything is wonderful and Im glad I did this for me. Im still a bit numb under my scar but nothing to worry about. Im able to workout when I want and Im back to my daily routine. I still have some swelling under my arms and on my flanks where I had lipo but that is going down consistantly. I cant wait to see what I look like at 6 months. Over all I have lost a total of 30 pds since surgery and all im doing now is toning. Its been quite a journey but I wouldnt change a thing :-) My scar is doing well, better on the left than the right. Im using scarguard MD and vitamin E oil and so far so good.

Ok so I have been so busy I have not had time to get on here like I wanted. So I have been back to work for just about 2 weeks everything is normal I swell some near the end of the day but nothing like during those first couple weeks. I have feeling back in my stomach almost 100% only numb area is my actual incision. Hubby is very happy im feeling better if you know what I mean ;-). As of this coming Tuesday Im clear for any workout I want so Im about to hit my pilates machine! Overall everything is good, im in NO pain at all and only sneezing gets me a tad sore but it quickly passes. My scar is doing amazing thanks to coconut oil and mepitac tape. My pre op clothes fit wonderfully it actually looks like I may need to take in a few things once im all done with swelling. The only downside is that due to no working out my legs are soo jiggly now and they are so weak I know I lost muscle mass for sure in my legs. Alas I will get it back very shortly. I just want to go shopping bad but I know I need wait til around 3-4 months to really see my results. My hubby bought me 4 new swimsuits that should be delivered any day now and I am fitting back into on of my favorite suits :-) all in all Im glad I did this!

You look awesome, do you mind me asking about how much you weigh now?? I was right around your weight so I'm wondering if you dropped any weight 6 weeks out?

I dont mind at all! I started at 217 and I am now 199 so total loss since surgery 18pds :-)! Now that I can workout I hope to drop maybe 10 more or actually just tone up my arms and legs so Im thinking that could equate to 10 pds lost we will see.
