Sorry I haven't been on in long time. I had many people ask me about the dentist. I can't remember his name now but if you were facing Dr cardenas office it would be in the Plaza to your left on the second floor balcony. You can look on google street view and see it
But, I paid for the more expensivecaps. He said they were indestructible but one has already chipped.

3 months post op
Been working out 5x week every week for 6 weeks or so. Only 10 to 25 min in fat burning zone on elliptical and the rest is weight training. I HIGHLY recommend weight training.Starting to see muscle and clothes are fitting better.
Different body part each of the 5 days. Arms, Legs, Shoulders, Back and Chest. But Abs are everyday.

2 mos I think. Depending on what I'm isolating for example biceps I use 15 to 20 # DBs I focused more on proper form over weight because I'm a beginner. Feels dumb at first.

You look great. What does your ab workout consist of?

Crunches on a yoga ball. At 7 weeks I had to cheat like crazy, holding on to my thighs for support. As the weeks went by my form improved to the point of normal sit ups or crunches. Though I still feel that indicative pain every time.

Thank you guys. Had life throw a wrench in my plans. Had to cancel my gym memb. Stopped going to the gym 2 weeks ago. :/ Need to regroup. Sigh.

The down side of the results
I dont want to give girls considering this the wrong idea. Its not all perfect. First off the skin on the upper abdomen is not separated and pulled down like the skin on the lower belly. I was told this is to protect large veins in that area. So the upper belly is still flabby and even the lower belly is still a little loose. In my case the skin was pulled tight to reattach the belly button and left a tight vertical line of skin from my belly button upward and then its kind of flabby on either side. It almost creates the look of a butt on your upper tummy. I dont think this happens to everyone but i have seen it on other before and afters.
Also The fat grafting does shrink quite a bit. a few weeks after surgery I remember trying on a form fitting dress and was amazed at how rounded out my hips were. The dreaded dip in the middle was gone. If you have this, you know what i mean. Bulging thigh and muffin top with nothing in the middle. Now my thigh and flank are perfect but the hip shrunk away and im still left with that dip again. :/ Guess ill have to do it again? Though ill probably never have the money again since im a stay home mom now.
Anyway just wanted to let you all know that even though im thrilled at the huge change in my body, it isnt perfect. Loosing more weight will make a big difference as well. Im still waiting to see my final results when i get to that weight.

im wondering if i should get lipo in lower and upper abdomen, cause yes skin is a bit loose over and under BB but I dont get a crease tho when I stand the skin stretches and it is not as lose. I wish I had lipo in my chin, but I was refused for any lipo :(
How much are you exercising??? Oh and I love my boobs just as you said I would lol

My skin looks good when i stand too but not as much when I sit. Im working out 5 days a week. Fat burning eliptical or cardio in zumba as well as strength training with Kenneth. Hes taught me a lot. Havent lost any more weight yet. I had my body fat tested and they said I only needed to loose 20 lbs of fat to be at ideal percentage.
