One week later @ 7 weeks :) workout

$6,000
Well everything is feeling better but wouldn't say 100% yet :/ what a recovery process... But totally worth it. Started back working out... Kinda lets just say treadmill and bike.. 3.5 miles at an easy pace. I'm back in some pre surgery clothes, still wearing my silicone tape, actually driving to Okc for my last appointment. I will share tomorrow on what is said :)))

You look great
Thanks :)
Did you drive far to see Dr Gonce? If so, how long did you stay in okc?
I drove about 4 hours and it was day surgery :) I had a 2 week post appt but it really wasn't bad :)
I have a couple more questions for you. :-) Did you get lipo too? And how far apart were your consultation and procedure? I've already set a consult date for January 6th and if I go with him I have to plan out my vacation days at work. Thank you for your info!
U look amazing!!! I love how gonce does the scar . I'm about 12 days PO from him as well. I have friends at work 2 years PO and their scar looks amazing so small !!!!

Almost 4 weeks...yaay

It gets better everyday!! I'm super excited about my progress, I am almost standing straight up, sleeping in my bed, and moving around at a normal pace. My scar is healing nicely, scabs are coming off softly, and itching is minimal. I continue to wear my binder, but finding myself talking it off more..need to invest in some spanx :) swelling is still there :/ cannot still fit in pre surgery jeans :( my ps doesn't want anything tight around my incision so it doesn't rub, I can handle a couple of weeks more. Well happy healing y'all!

Looking awesome!! So flat! Congrats
Thanks ;)
You look great girl! Did you take your tape off? I am so confused with the tape. I saw my ps at 2wpo and they put new tape on. Then never told me what to do with it! And said I don't need to go back until week 12 ! Wtheck! Anyways. You look fab! Im at 3 weeks today and starting to feel a little more normal each day. Are you so happy to wear shirts without that muffin top stuff, this tt experience thing is so exciting, can't wait for the final results! Take is easy!
I took original tape off at 2 1/2 weeks then put silicone tape on, I wear that 12 hours a day. It suppose to last up to 3 months. Absolutely excited for no muffin top :) but hate the swelling :( still haven't gotten into pre surgery jeans!! happy healing ;))
Me neither, but I'm loving my maxi skirts. I need to get some silicone tape. You are looking awesome girl!
You look amazing!! I think we are pretty similar with the before photos so I'm hoping my result is as good as yours!
I bet you will have amazing results!!!
Thanks! Would you mind if I ask what your preoperative weight was and your height?
I was 153 5'4... I'm down 10 lbs now 143 :)
You're kidding! I'm 5'4 and 163! That makes me feel good! I'm hoping to lose a few more before surgery but I'm thrilled that we are so similar in size since your results are amazing! :)
You look wonderful!!
Thanks I'm starting to feel wonderful :)
I agree' u look great!!!
Thank you I'm feeling better! How are you doing?
