WORTH IT$6,500
Opps I miss counted I am only 7 months post op not 8. counted an extra finger in there. LOL.
I started doing my HIP HOP ABS videos and can see some definition changes I also am putting a run in my walkinging (not much) I run 1 min then walk 5 min. and repeat for a 30-45 min. work out.
My eating habits are better. I started logging all my meals on my bodybugg site and wearing the bodybugg helps alot to keep track of my daily activity. I think the weekends are the hardest for me to follow planned meals. My parents moved in with us the 1st of April and my dad does all the cooking and he has alot of trouble understanding that I have to watch my diet. Finally had to tell him that I had a TT and he understands a little bit better but not much.
I am really happy with results so far but as we all know there are still good days and some not so good. I can still tell when I over due it and when I have alittle to much sodium and still swell abit.
I would totally do this all over again in a heart beat. :)

I too would like to know what kind of revisions you are going back for! :)
You look great!
I am 14months post op with Dr Heick also and will have a BB and dog ear revision the 1st week of Aug! The dog ear he was ok with fixing the bb took some coaxing as he feels there is nothing wrong with it and it's completely normal (it's not...)

Thank you so much for the compliments. Some of my incision site right above my pubic area and on my right side he had to use silver nitrate to help it close and it does not look very good. And when I sit I still have a muffin top. He is thinking it will get better in the next 4 months but might have to tighten some.

With the revisions, is that at a extra cost to you?

I am not cwgrlup640 :) but I see the same dr and am having a bb revision (it's a slit there is nothing to it) and a dog ear revision in Aug and there is no cost at all.

Happy spring all, Sorry it's been forever since I have been able to update. Things have been crazy with taxes and the Post Office but the light at the end of the tunnel is approching only 5 more schedlued days at the tax office.
I am soon approching 5 mo and have some concerns. I still have a pouch, I think I just need to tone things but am worried that this will not help. I go back to PS in June so I will address the issue then if it has not resolved.
I have not been able to do any exercise due to work being so hectic but tax season is coming to an end and I am planning on getting my routine going, I joined our Anytime Fitness and am going in tomorrow to get a workout plan started. I get a walk in here an there but know that is not gonna make a dent unless I start doing some tonning also.
I still have swelling and think the nerves are waking up I still have pain in my incission and were the MR was tightened. I can really tell when I have over done it.
The scale moves some days less some days high never more than I was the day of my surgery which I am happy with, my eating habits have been horrible so to stay at or below surgery day weight is a good thing I think. Today is day one of my planned meals so things should start looking better. (fingers crossed)
I will try to get some new pics posted this week.
Hope everyone had a great Easter and are doing well.

Thank you for the update. It's great to hear from you again.
You now the diet is a daily battle. After a tummy tuck it takes a lot of work to keep everything up. Hang in there and I hope things slow down for you soon.

You look great! I can't help but to notice how dark your scar is --- did you use any of the creams or strips?
