So I've been MIA for a while but I thought I should update. There have been ups and downs through this whole process and I still struggle with body image issues, but I hadn't seen the old pictures in a while then look at what I have now and I can't believe the difference. The scars are a little worse than I expected but they have definitely faded over time. I've been considering getting a tattoo to cover the one on my stomach. Either way I'm still glad I did it and I've very happy with the results.

3 Month Follow Up
I had my 3 month follow up today and we took "after" photos. I'm in awe at the difference it has made. The nurse even noted how much better my posture is now. I still struggle with body image issues, but I love my new body. Totally worth it.

You look truly amazing!!!! I have been following your updates. I bet you feel so wonderful. Looks like a total success. I was wondering if you had any lipo done when they did the tummy tuck and also if you had any abdominal muscle repair? I am trying to figure out if those cost more, since I am going to the same surgery center you went to. Seriously, awesome stuff!

Thank you! It definitely feels surreal. It's hard because I didn't think the healing process would take so long, but I'm still so happy nonetheless! I did not have lipo but I had a tiny bit of muscle repair on the left side. From my understanding, the muscle repair did not cost more, but the lipo does. I really debated on getting lipo and still wonder about it, but make sure you do lots of research. Once those fat cells are gone, they're gone forever, but that doesn't stop the ones around that area from growing. It can end up leaving lumps all over your body.

Well it looks like you had no need for lipo! Your curves look absolutely perfect. And I mean, just imagine once the remainder of the swelling goes away. A year from now imagine how you'll feel. So awesome. All that hard work and pain totally worth it I'm sure. Can't wait! Thanks for answering all my questions :) I'll be waiting for more updates :)
