Officially, I am at my 7 week mark! I still have minor swelling in the abdomen area and the numbness, but my PS said by 12 weeks that all should surpass. I've been doing great at the gym. Except I do feel a bit of tenderness in my abdominal area. So, I'm holding off on working that part out until next week, which would be my two month mark. My PS says to look at myself on the day I feel great and imaging 15% better. So, I'm excited! I may need a bit of revision on my sides to remove excess skin bc I did have a lot, but that could be done right in his office. So, that's about it!

Looking good... Did your tattoo get messed up or look out of place?

Thanks Brooklyn! No, it didn't. I am so surprised. They aligned it precisely. You can't even tell. I am so happy!

You look great! How was the military discount? I want a tt sooo badly it hurts, I hate how I look. But, on an e4 salary it might not be plausible. Lol

Hello USMC, I apologize for the late response. I've been occupied with my motherly duties and school. But, I received a 30% military discount. If you PM, I could tell you about the route I took! There's always a way.

Hi! you look great . I know you prob don't want to show your scar but I would really like to see it because I'm asian and don't scar well and would like to see tummy tuck scars so I can see what to expect. Please Help

DassAss, I'm so sorry. I haven't kept up with this website. I'll see if I have any pictures of my scar prior to my second pregnancy and will post. I don't scar well in any case. I get hyper pigmentation with any type of lesion to my body, even if it's a simple rash. But, I don't keloid and my scar is not thick. So, I am thankful for that. To be honest, to me, the scar is worth the outcome. At first, I did feel like Frankenstein with the scar bc I did have to get an extended tummy tuck (hip to hip) But overtime I was able to accept the scar and feel comfortable with it. That is one thing my surgeon informed me about. Everyone scars differently and I'll have mixed emotions about it but I have to be willing to accept the outcome. The first thing he asked was if I keloid, which I don't. However, I did put some keloid cream and a scarring tape to help with the healing process, so that might have helped too.

I'm at 6 weeks post op, and although there is slight swelling, I have to say that I am very pleased with my results. The mix of the gym and a healthy diet is also helping me tone and lose the 10 pounds I'm motivated to shed. I'm gaining my confidence back and learning to love myself again.

Hey EhuxGirl..I just looked up Dr. Brown, I think I am going to go see him. I have a question for you..did you get two separate procedures or did you get his body after baby package?? What type of military discount did they do?

I started the gym and a healthier diet on Monday and I'm already seeing some results. I wear my garments all day and night. It helps my swelling. I'm still swollen on my upper abdominal area and below the incision. My belly button is starting to look somewhat normal. It makes me sad about my scar, but it's only been 5 weeks. I'm starting to gain my confidence back. Slowly, but surely. Patience is needed in cases such as mine. Haha. I can't get over how much I love my breasts. When I go out I do wear my spanks and I wear them during workouts. It helps provide some pressure. I swell after, but that's a given. I plan on starting some abdominal workouts today. Nervous, but was ok'd by my PS. I got 5 months until my vacation to Maui. So, I'm preparing!

Wow...you look amazing, I am so ready to do mind. Bu I am afraid, because like your husband mines does not support me at allll. He threaten to leave me if I got it done, well I am in a battle with myself and making this decision. I am so ready to move forward. ...I am not saying about it to him because we get in so nasty arguments....where the word selfish always is thrown at me. So I am just working on my finances and I have been to four consults already, not sure who I will do it with yet. But again congrats for on your amazing looks and your courage to go out on the limb without your husband support .

Good morning November Rose, thank you for your compliment. I'm still swollen a bit and I have a ton to work on on other parts of my body. Anywho, as far as the husband predictiment, I was in your exact shoes. It is difficult to not have that love, support and reasoning from your husband. The endless fighting, comments of being selfish and threats of divorce takes a toll on you as person and you decionsion. I personally did what I wanted to do, regardless of his feelings towards the whole thing. I told myself, if my husband is willing to leave me after 10 years just from some simple surgery, then so be it. But, that's my stand point. I had to do what makes me happy with myself in order to be happy with him. The embarrassement and lack of confidence I possessed was ridiculous. So, I went forth with it and he is still here and I am slowly gaining my confidence back. Girl, do what you really want. He is your husband, not your father. He can't dictate your every move. Until this day, my husband makes comments, but it'll surpass. I wish you all the luck and hope you do what you truly want to do. You're a strong woman!
