3 Months Update

Hello!
I just wanted to update because the worst has passed. I feel like its been the best decision and it's not even fully healed.
I still feel it stretchy and I can´t feel a thing in the area. Sometimes it itches but I can´t do anything. I´m 4 days away to the day I had the surgery in which I'm supposed to get back to abs workouts, but I'm afraid it will be too soon.
What does anyone suggest?
I've been out at night a lot, how does alcohol affect with the scarification process?
I've also gained two kilos but I don't seem to notice them.

almost 2 months (55 days)

Well, this is it. I've lost like 7 kilos so far, all because I was fired, ended a relationship and suffered from anxiety. Now is all under control and I'm focusing on myself.
THIS IS A WARNING to all the people thinking to go through this procedure, please be 100% about it, have anxiety pills, have a job, have a routine, have activities, you'll see yourself and wander "what have I done to myself", maybe you will regret it and that is the worse since there is no turning back. I have not regrets, but I feel so anxious about the outcome. Now that I'm more relaxed I know that it will be for the best. Today I started lifting dumbells, only arms and shoulder workouts because there is not much abs involved (if someone can help me with this, please do) I need the endorphines to move on with my life, so far I found a job and I'm starting a new life, making new friends and enjoying myself, but it's been tough.
On monday I'll have my two month appointment and will post updates on what my dr says.
Im not happy about the liposuction on the flanks cause I still have love handles and the scars attached which was the first reason for which I went to the plastic surgeon.

4 weeks update

I feel great. I just want the time to pass and go back to normal life, get back to crossfit and start my fitness journey to recover what I had. I know I'm very anxious but I just want to see results.
I feel like I could have had more skind removed.
Flanks feel bigger and I don't know if it is due to the effect of the skin removal or because of lymph still being reabsorved.

At the beginning he was very nice, but I'm afraid the last time I saw him, he was more serious because he doesn't want me to move. Anyway, a very nice doctor, honest and with a funny brazilian accent.
