I resumed working out about a week ago and I am working off the remaining 4 pounds of holiday weight :). I have posted updated pictures and I am reminded that I am not nor never will be skinny. While my belly looks much improved and I can even wear shirts tucked in, this is not a beach body. I have to admit I was hoping I would have less belly there but I can see that there was still a belly under that extra skin Ialso am posting a picture of my scar which is coming along nicely.

You’re looking great hun. And you won’t see final results for quite a few more months. I know you are gonna look wonderful, you already do!! You lost an incredible amount of weight hun, I’m wondering if they mentioned a fleur de lis incision to take more skin away and if you would’ve been happier with that. Just thinking. But I still think you will be surprised in a couple more months how things change

It has been over 3 weeks already. I am on antibiotics for the little infection in my incision. It still is draining a bit on the band-aid each day. I will go back to the surgeon tomorrow and see what he says. I have an updated photo from today. I look a little less swollen today compared to 2 weeks ago and all of the bruising is gone.

The healing continues and I continue to be pleased with the results as well as how quickly I have recovered. Dr. Silverblatt's method clearly produces a great result with quick recovery. My swelling has improved although I still feel like I am 4 1/2 months pregnant by end of the day :)

I am very pleased with my incisions so far. My bellybutton has internal incisions and is almost fully healed. And other than a small area of infection the incision is healing well. I will post pictures.

Read through your story and congratulations on your weight loss pre surgery. Great job!!!
You look great hun. Sounds like your healing is right on schedule. Glad things are going well for you. Hopefully that infection will clear up soon

Thank you! The doctor put me on antibiotics yesterday because it hadn't stopped weeping. Hopefully that will nip it in the bud.
