Photos for 2 months post op


2 months ( a few days over) post op and feeling so fine

Well I am very glad to get past this hump because I would say that (finally) I am back to me again! Hitting the gym.... check, Working hard.... check, Doing to family thing....check :) It seems to all be coming back into focus.
I started my mederma scar treatment about a week ago. It is a 8 week, once a day treatment. I am excited this is happening as I thought the middle part of my belly would never heal! I have pulled a few stiches out of that area that must have been trying to hang on. The PS told me this can cause a delay such as what I had.
I am also free of my spanx and this makes me VERY happy! I hated those stupid things, can we say wedgie!
I love how I can wear tube tops and very skimpy summer stuff with no bra! I found the nipple petals that just stick over your nipples at Kohls and they are wonderful! I am very self conscience of my nipples showing, so I always wear these if I am going braless.
Just a FYI, the petals are a one use only deal. They will not stick again once you have used them, but you get like 6 pair in a pack for about $6. The dollar tree also carries them, but they are not quite as good as the ones at Kohls.
Ok, well I am posting updated pics of the scars and how things look at this point. I would love feedback if you have anything to add!

2 month follow up went well....Dr Zemmel, you rock!

Well its hard to believe its almost been 2 months! I had my 2 month post op and things could not had went better. This office is simply amazing in how well they have cared for me and made me feel like I am family. I was able to do a video testimony and that was so much fun! And.... because I did that, I get to have a free facial. How cool!
Well over all, I am feeling so much better these days! I am almost what I would call normal. I had a minor set back this week with a shoulder/neck issues that prohibited me from going to the gym, but I am going tomorrow to get my grove back :)
I have been cleared to start using Mederma and just started tonight.I got the once a day for 8 weeks stuff. We will see how that goes. I am also out of my spanx! Yeah! I hate anything that binds me and is hot. I think I will be so much more comfortable not having that thing riding up my butt all day.
I am truly happy with my results and my confidence is sky high! I love my new body!

I have read a lot of good reviews about Dr Zemmel, his office and even the hospital that the procedure is done in. I had my consultation and he was so nice and easy to talk too. He explained the procedure and talk with me in great detail about my concerns. I also got to try some "boobs" to see what I would look like... it was very interesting! I am planning to have my procedure done by Dr Zemmel as I was very satisfied with my first impression. To add an update: Dr Zemmel and his staff continue to show exceptional professionalism with such warmth and real concern towards my needs and desires. I don't feel like just a patient, I feel like a part of the team. There is a true comfort in the treatment I am receiving from this office and that gives me valuable piece of mind! Additional Follow-up: The Post-op care has been excellent! I feel like my continued healing is very important to Dr. Zemmel and his Staff! I am a lifetime referral source for these guys! (hope your reading this Dr. Zemmel because I am already working on a few referrals for you as we speak!)
