I've got that feeling!
WORTH IT$8,000
I really need to update my photos I know. But I've got exciting news to share! I'm finally getting the feeling back below my BB/above the TT scar. It's not normal but I can at least have some feeling. I'd say 25pct. Will be interesting to see if it progresses. I'm still in love with my results...I have a big mirror leading into my bedroom and it's rare that I don't lift up my shirt to admire my own abs when I walk by, lol. I'm still running and crossfitting....if I could get serious about my diet, I'd probably have a 6 pack....one day I'd love to see it.

Wow, I'm amazed a year has flown by! The only disappointment I have is that I didn't get this done years ago!!!
Life is great, Im still running regularly and I started doing Crossfit in July. I'm so much stronger than I ever was. I immediately gained 10 lbs, but didn't gain a clothing size. Over the holidays I've managed to pack on 5 more lbs (I weigh 183 in these photos @ 5'8") while my clothes are a bit tighter, they all still fit. My goal for 2017 is to get lean, so my muscles will show. I can do all kinds of ab workouts and nothing hurts anymore.
My scars are noticeably lighter, but still have a hint of pink to them. I think my PS did an excellent job making my scars thin and low. My BB turned out great too. The scar is right around the inside rim and not terribly noticeable. The skin inside my BB seems darker than the rest of my skin, which kind of stands out, but not sure why. I had no issues with dog ears. I still swell in the afternoons, but it's not that bad.
I tried to take these pics from various angles, enjoy!

You look incredible! And your story is very inspiring and I am so glad you shared it because my surgery is scheduled for the 29th of this month and it gives me a slight idea of what to expect.

It is so great to see your results a year post op. It looks like I have a lot to look forward to! I love all of your bikinis - esp. the black one with the cutouts. You look GREAT! Thank you so much for posting your one year post op. Good luck with your resolutions this year, but really you look perfect. I love seeing people the same stats as me. Makes me feel a lot better about that number on the scale when I see others who are fit, healthy, and hot at the same #.

You look phenomenal! The height and weight stats fall almost identical to mine, as well as the 3 kids (mine via csection) and it is great to see the whole process for a full year. I am scheduled for 1/16 for TT with MR. Half excited have absolutely freaking out! The only people that know are my mother and my husband at this point. Should be interesting.

I can't believe you weigh 180. You don't look like it at all. Your scar looks great. Can't wait for mine to fade.

Lots of muscle due to crossfit, I wear the exactly the same size as I do when I'm 165 thru cardio...it's seriously crazy!

I'm getting ready to move to Florida in a few weeks and want to try crossfit out when I get there. I can't wait. I want my muscles to pop.

Feeling great! Started crossfit 3 weeks ago. No issues completing an of the exercises. My scar is healing beautifully. While I think it's pretty obvious I had a TT because of my upward stretch marks and my BB, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I was really worried about my BB and the more the scar fades, the better it looks. Life is good!

Wow you look fantastic. Your scar looks pretty lite and thin and low, your surgeon did a great job. The BB looks like mine, scarring on the outside, hopefully it fades with time. And you can barely see your stretch marks and totally rock that bikini. Take care.
