Doing great! Full ab routines inconsistently : ( but none the less I still cannot do crunches/sit-ups very well because it scares me and feels weird.
I still am pretty numb. I get a really numb electric feel when I run or workout intensely.
Still get very swollen and very tight.
Talked to my fav dr today about my revision and possibly adding fat to my lips by doing fat harvesting (from my revision) it sounds great. He stores my fat so that I can come back every so often for retouch because of course a little or lot will re absorb . Anyway, love u all!!!

Wow! You have to be happy with the overall result. I am fortunate (being a male) that I don't have to worry about the added complication of a 'girly time', but I think you were just unlucky with the scar/mons infection. Loved your descriptions and the way you kept positive. Your family must be thrilled with the result as well. Love and Live Life.

You look great!!! I still get swollen but mostly at night. If I watch what I eat CLOSELY, I have fewer issues. You have come a long way. I hope you do GREATEST with future procedures. I am still looking forward to implants for the girls. I know it won't happen for a while. I've had 1 questionable mammo in May and a bad one in July. So December is the first I can look at any surgery. :( Thank you for being so open about your process. I finally posted pics and they ended up in cyber space.

I saw my pics once and then they were just gone I don't know about how forums like this work. I know they were here then gone. I haven't had beans for about a year. Refried beans, black, chili. Etc. I miss them a lot. Fried and salty foods that I shouldn't eat anyhow!!!

Your poor belly button. Oh I can imagine panicking when you couldn't get it out. When the scare fades it will be a funny story. Remember the day when I couldn't get that marble out of my belly button.... I know you need to have all your concerns looked at but from the perspective of someone else I still believe you look fantastic even if nothing else changes x

Hey my lovely, my swelling is one sided and weird... When do you have your revision? I'm not sure I can go through it again. Did the dressings ever help? Xx

Hey!!! Ya I'm still lopsided as well. But still happy : ) yes so the ball in the belly button just did not work for me at all! I'm pretty sure I ripped open the scar there : ( I'll tell my doc whenever it is I go back. I'm sure he can figure something out for it. ❤️

Hey so, my daughter cracked her chin open , dr glued it shut but it kinda reopened so I cleaned it and put your dressings on it. Healed perfectly! It may even disappear ! Shocking! It was a very big ugly laceration!

Wow does time fly! I'm feeling great. I have been doing my workouts full force again and I absolutely still feel fragile when doing an workouts but at the same time I feel the potential, and strength! I am going through the ups n downs of weight loss and gain. I still feel extremely swollen at times and tight/sore. My dr told me to put a marble in my belly button so I tried and it got STUCK! I was freaking out,". Took forever to get out but I did and now my Bb looks weird and ripped : ( looking forward to my revision at the end of summer. My scar is a little too jagged and high on my left side and there is more fat on the left side left so it looks a little weird to me. Also my VaJJ mons is really bumpy due to the infection so I hope this gets addressed as well. Anyway here is pix from today.
