WORTH IT$4,500
I know that when you are looking at yourself it's like an in the moment thing. I like to look back and see where I came from. I am just amazed. I have been given a second chance at this flat side. I would never trade pregnancy or the beauty of motherhood for anything even the body. I am grateful though for the opportunity to have the surgery.

Just some pictures of my incision and scar. The stomach has great shape. Mind you that there is swelling that comes and goes. I try to stay moving and mobile to avoid stiffness. Try to stand as straight as possible. I massage my stomach in the shower and after. I use castor oil, aquaphor, and cetaphil. They seem to keep me lubricated well so I havent went out and spent money on anything expensive. Everyone s body is different this just work for me. I try to stay away fron salt. The week I had it in the majority of my food I had the most swelling. But for those looking to get this procedure just be realistic with your results and committed to recovery and you will do great Lord willing. Im in a size small garment and probably squeeze into an xs. Just worried about my thighs lol!

Love your incision. I don't think mine looks nothing like that :(
March 17, 2014
Thank you. I seen yours before and yours isn't bad. My skin heals pretty well when I get cut. I wear a tank under my garment and it applies a little more pressure. The main thing is how dark the scar will be no matter the shape. Right now the bottom of mine is swollen now

It still looks very nice. I have not seen mine yet. I am suppose to get the tapes removed on Tuesday. I know mine is not as nice and even but I am still happy with the overall results. Your right about the darkness I guess I would have to see what mine looks like. I too heal very good so I am hoping for a great result.

Hi, i had TT a month ago. I do my best to stand straight but still is not 100%. And i am having some problem breathing. Do you think is related to the surgery? My abs and muscles are extremely hard!!!
March 16, 2014
@Taydemooei I don't mean to get in your conversation but usually when people have trouble breathing, it a sign of something wrong and an alarming concern. You should contact your surgeon and inform him that you are having these issues. Hope all goes well sweetie.
March 17, 2014
You definitely should contact the surgeon. I force myself to stand straight. I fill the stretch but I don't want to it to heal in the position of me bent over. Read on you lymph to understand what's going on inside. But massage massage massage

I will see him next week. My surgery was on Feb13th. May I ask when was yours and how are you doing now?
March 17, 2014
The 11th. I'm doing ok. I still have soreness and listen to my body. My stomach in the midsection is a little hard and numb. I know that's the fluid. But I notice when I practice being straight it helps. How do you sleep
March 17, 2014
I sleep good. As I said this breathing problem bothers me and also I try to stay straight, which is very hard, then I feel extermly stretched from under my ribs, where the stomach is and from my private part and inner thighs pull up.

The process...
Bubble GuppieMarch 2, 2014
So I had the drains removed which makes thing so much more comfortable. It was painless and its so funny I dont know how. I anticipated worse but honestly besides cutting the stitches its nothing. I got into the small garment which really felt good around the stomach. I am hippy so getting it on was a project lol with the dr but it makes a difference. Was sooooo impressed with my incision and just how perfect it is. I been eating clean and trying to move around as much as possible. I measure at 30 inches and cant wait to see where I am going down to. Mind you my hips are 43 inches
