Almost There Too Quickly! - Reston, VA

The results from this procedure are amazing, even a year later! My stomach is still super flat, my breasts are still perky and I love my new body! Dr. Weston is a very highly recommended doctor in my book. He is soo passionate on listening to what it is that YOU want and how YOU want to look. That is how is should be right?!? My first PS said that I should have Cali appropriate sized implants...well that was a mistake obviously... capsular contracture. My friends admire my stomach and I always get complimented on how great I look! That is nice and makes me feel good! Granted I do keep up with a daily visit to the gym, why would I let all this money spent go to waste? Tomorrow I will go in to get a little thing I call a fat bubble fixed with a very little lipo. Because I am so concerned and bugged by it Dr. Weston is taking care of it, I am grateful that he cares so much about how I feel! I would recommend this to any friend of mine and tell them it is sooo worth it!

I can't believe how fast time has gone by! Feeling better every day, it is truly a blessing. There were quite a few stitches that I needed pulled so I went in and had that done. She pulled them out with no problem at all. The nurse said that I was healing up nicely and that all looks great, what a good feeling. She also told me to pluck the hairs in my incision line to prevent ingrown hairs. And, they come out so easily, convenient! I've been taking turmeric daily and I think that helps with the swelling, but I have been more sweaty since I started it.
One BIG problem I've been experiencing, SNEEZING! Oh my goodness, I have come down with a cold or allergies and sneezing 2-3 times in a row and my middle feels like it is being torn up. Like to the point of crying. The last two days I have stayed inside and am taking allergy meds to prevent the sneezes. Anyone else experiencing this?
On another note, I am loving my new tummy! It is flat and nice, I will never regret doing this. My chest feels so much lighter without those heavy implants suffocating me and I can breath easy.

Happy Birthday to me! I celebrated my birthday over the weekend, great way to start my 30's with a flat (still swollen) tummy! Went into VS to try on some swimsuits, and wow! I never thought I would wear a bikini. Although I liked what I saw, I didn't buy because I want to tone it up before next summer.
I am feeling pretty good, been taking daily walks and doing normal things around the house. The tightness in my tummy is still annoying and the numbness but it is expected with the muscle repair. I just want it to give me a little break! My CG has been taking daily breaks, I get so tired of that thing. And I have started to put on Mederma and bio oil on my scars that don't have any scabs. My breast are healing up nicely but the one that had grade 4 capsular contracture definitely has less breast tissue in there :( But, that is ok. I can deal with that now that the foreign object is out of my body causing problems. When all my scabs are gone I will start the silicone tape.
At this point I am just wanting to wear some of my jeans or shorts! They are all to tight still and I just don't want to squeeze to get them buttoned. I know I lost inches from my waist because when I got home from surgery I was already 13lbs lighter! I know it is the swelling, should I try the turmeric?
