On the road to recovery- Oklahoma City, OK

It's been a year since my mommy make over. My breast augmentation is larger than I anticipated. I turned out a 34 DD, it definitely changes the way clothes fit. Dresses that would sit high on the waist become empire waist. Also, anything not fitted around the waist makes you look thicker overall. At some point I'll get a touch up on the mini tummy tuck. The scar is pretty thick, despite regular application of vitamin E for all this time. I'm still numb above the scar and it causes the skin below the scar to itch, drives me crazy. Now I've got a small ledge above my scar...you can see this in the old pictures. I'm thinking ill need lipo in the tummy and something with the scar. I'm not sure what though, I guess it will depend on what the surgeon recommends. One thing I will say, I thought these procedures would finally resolve some of my self consciousness. But what I found is it gave me a new set of insecurities.

8 July-The healing continues. The breast implants are bigger than I was originally told to expect, but they still look great. It has been interesting getting adjusted to the new size and how clothes fit. Little sundresses and small strapped tank tops look indecent now, so I have to go with versions of them that cover a little bit more. The mini tummy tuck scar is healing nicely, but I have a little pooch above it. I'm not sure what my Dr. will say about it. Since it is only 2 months out I doubt he'll say anything yet, except it will continue to change over the next 6 months. I'm no longer using any undergarments, although I suppose I could. I don't feel any strain on my stomach anymore and I'm doing sit ups and such just fine.

2 June- Aaaah weight gain! the healing and results are going great, but the numbers on my scale keep climbing.
