7 weeks. And I'm loving it.

$11,000
So, it's been awhile. Life's been crazy. 2016 is my year. Lost my job, (which I was going to have to quit anyway), got a way way better full time job (so I can support my children) and have already been given a promotion. I am healing awesomely and life is good.

So far my experience has been very positive. Dr Restifo and his staff are super. Very professional and well informed. Wouldn't trust my body to anyone else. This man is a master artist in his field.

That's amazing.when 1 door close another one opens.
So happy things are going so well for you!
Amazing results. I'm not sure if I have asked you this question. But I'm asking most they have had surgery done with Dr.R. im schedule in a few weeks my question was with the pain he did state that he gives a local anesthetic and normally lasts about 24 hours I was wondering about how long it lasts for you. Also I have to fly 14 days post surgery, he said he'd try to have my drains out and i would be fine to fly. My concern is 1.blood clots from flying. 2. The pain still lingering around during my flight and work week. I've Already pd, and completed pre-op. Really nervous
I went back to work 10 days out. And still had my drains in but was very tired after half a day. You should be sure to address these issues with Dr R and staff.
Looks great! Happy with dr R results as well! 7 weeks...you must be feeling 100% right? I'm 2 wks and feel way better but still stiff and tired. And bending over to pick things up is not preferred.
I am getting stronger and more like myself every day. Today I felt even better than yesterday.
I was just thinking of you! I am so excited for you and your new job!! You are looking just wonderful!
Thanks mermaid. You're looking amazing yourself.
I'm glad you are doing so well! Hope you are enjoying the new job and the new body!
I am thanks Pammie18. Super happy with my life.

haha, you got yours. you look fantastic.
Damn straight! You look great. How's the swelling?
You look gorgeous! You are having too much fun!
Thanks mermaid. And the fun has only just begun. How are you doing?
I am doing good! Back to running. Slowly though. Started my 5k app over. I took my tegaderm tape off for good yesterday! It feels nice not to be in plastic wrap! Just using scar gel on everything now.my cold is almost done! Getting use to my new body!
How long did you have to wear the tegaderm?
You look amazing! Your pictures show lots of confidence. Living well is the best revenge! Enjoy that new body!
Thank you. I couldn't be happier.
My surgery is scheduled for next week, I hope in time I feel the way you do! I thought my life was over when my marriage was... I'm hoping it's just beginning
This is a whole new chapter for you! You'll see!

Amazing!!!!! I'm so happy for you! And looking forward to mine....17 days away
The best thing I've ever done for myself. You will love it.
It's crazy I am co stably looking at my belly like I'm checking to make sure it real and really mine. It is mine. I love it. I must have a 100 tummy selfies I may be slightly obsessed. But it's all mine and it's sexy as hell and it's still swollen. I wish you the very best. Much happiness
Thank you thank you! I love all your posts. I can't wait to share mine
Soo flat!! You still wearing your garment?
Oh yes. I will probably wear some kind of support for 4-6 months. I'm still wearing the same abdominal binder as I got in the hospital only taking it off for an hour or two when relaxing in the evening. I put it back on to sleep in and only take off for showering. I also purchased some spanx and a couple corsets/ waist trainers. They say the longer you wear some support the better the results.
It's beautiful! Good for you. Can't wait to get mine!!!!
As long as you take your meds and listen to your Drs instructions you'll be great. Thank you. I couldn't be happier.
I am not going out tonight. I have a reservation with movies, my recliner and two very sweet little girls. If you go out be safe.
Oh yes, one last thing. Take 1 colace in the morning and 1 in the evening starting 3 days before surgery and continue as long as you are taking pain meds. No one told me that when I had my boobs done and I didn't poo for 10 days and that was the most painful 10 days of my life. Also use tegaderm it's amazing.
Seriously....I hope mine is as good! You just look awesome!
wow! you have healed so well. are you going out tonight?
