almost 3 months! time flies when you're having fun
My stomach first thing in the morning is my favorite ?
It's super numb and abdominal workouts are still a challenge, but I feel like im making progress and really liking my new body! Just gotta work on the muffin top ;-) Dr Shah said if I can't work it off with my trainer, we can do some lipo... yeeeeaaah!

You look sooooo good! My stomach is so numb and feels so weird! I'm only 16 days post op so I'm not even close to the end but I'm so happy just not to have the pooch anymore!

Thanks, I'm thrilled overall but still have swelling and numbness from my bb down to my incision and across my incision. I have my next post op on wed..I'll be updating then.

You still have a muffin top? I don't see it...you look amazing...The doctor didn't do any lipo on you? My doctor includes lipo on flanks and muscle repair with the tummy tuck...my consultation is tomorrow and I know I won't be able to sleep I'm so excited

Thank you.. only in jeans. My ps did lipo on my upper abdomen. I will most likely be going in for a 2nd procedure. Possibly brazilian butt lift but not for sure yet!
Good luck in your surgery. It sucks the 1st few days but god was it worth it.

10 weeks
I haven't updated in a while. It's true you tend to get back to regular life and RS becomes somewhere u check in once in a while.... everything is going pretty great. I started working out 2 weeks ago with a trainer. My swelling was intense at 1st but it's getting slightly better. I still have a ways to go though. I will see Dr Shah On Thursday to check my progress.
I am loving my belly though. It feels so good to look down and not hate what I see. It truly was one of my best decisions!

I'm one day post op. I can't imagine being where you are right now! You look fantastic. Tight and tiny tummy!

Looking awesome!!! Do you find it easy to hide your scar in low jeans and skimpy bikinis?

My scar is pretty easily hidden... my sides are swollen right now though so I'm hoping to fix that thru working out. It kind of gives a muffin top look

It was the best decision I have ever made. I have regained my confidence and I am not constantly adjusting my clothes and feeling bad about my body. I highly recommend you do it if it's something that really bothers you. It is a very long recovery though. I can honestly say that it took my 6-8 months to feel like I wasn't swollen, scar looked pretty normal, etc.. This surgery takes patience.
I also didn't do as my dr recommended and get lipo so I ended up going back... So do what dr tells you to do to achieve your desired results! :-) hope that was helpful
