9.5 weeks Post Op
WORTH IT$12,000
Ladies!! 9.5 weeks post op is great! Here's some shots in my work out clothes! I've been "getting my fitness" on about 5 days a week! Feeling good-- not 100% but I'd say 90%! Some specifics:
1. Trying to jog more on treadmill-- I run walk about 3 times a week. Lipo on outer legs bothers me when I first start jogging but I'm just pushing through it--
2. Doing weights (lighter) but I'm doing strength training
3. No ab exercises though I feel like you engage your abs when doing lots of other moves
4. Only wear spanx about 4 or 5 nights a week
5. Swelling: yes after I work out-- and swollen right over BB always
6. I feel overall a lot better this week-- still tight but better!!
That's it for now!! Happy Healing!!!!

I've been searching this site for people who have vertical scars because I'll probably be getting one too. It will fade eventually. You look great!

Thank you! I had no idea I would have that scar till after the surgery but who cares-- before I had grey yucky, wrinkly skin! Now I'm fixed vertical scar or no scar!! Thank you!!!

you look fantastic! i have a vertical scar (my old bb) and it is becoming less noticable. You can get laser treatment to lighten. I'm starting my laser treatment next week (on whole scar plus vertical). I have olive complexion, so my scars are always dark.

I'm as white as a ghost!! Wish I was darker-- I've been following your laser treatments and can't wait to see the progress!!

8 weeks Post Op!
I can't believe I'm 8 weeks post OP! Crazy, I'm posting some pictures-- you can really see my vertical scar which in time I know will heal-- patience!! Urghh!! So I'll bullet point my progress
- since week 6 I'm soo much better- not as tight in my tummy, don't need Motrin ever, not as tired--girlies for me that was a big week
-I'm back in the gym-- I am at about 60% but I'm there-- running is still too hard, I do the bike, stairclimber, lunges, machines with lighter weights than before my surgery. I'm am going @ 4 days a week but this week I'm shooting for 5!!!
-- only wear Flexiis at night-- never during the day-- getting easier to go without them
--pants, underwear etc, irritate my scar bcse they sit right on it so I'm wearing granny panties- lovely!! but it keeps the scar sheets on, keeps pants from rubbing so...for now it's granny panties for me! Ha!!
--I'm still swollen especially after I work out :-(
-- I'm down about 7lbs but I've got to stay tight with my diet I'm 5'7 and weighed 140 bfre surgery and I'm 133 now. Goal is 128.
--no complications so far (fingers crossed)
I'm still soooo happy!! So thrilled I took this leap and did it!!! Happy Healing Friends!!!
