It's been just over 4 months since I had my mommy makeover. It's hard to believe so much time has already passed. It's been awhile since I posted an update so I thought I would get on here and let you lovely ladies know how things have been going. The doctor gave me the okay to get my workouts back to normal at 10 weeks post op. So for the past month or so I've been back at it. Getting in full workouts that include weights and core. I had to start slow as my body definitely tired more easily and I could only tackle about 3 or 4 days at the gym. As a result I'm up 7 lbs since my surgery :( but hopefully that will come off with some consistent workouts. The biggest piece of advice I can offer for anyone considering this procedure is "pack your patience"! There is SO much going on with your body. You HAVE to be patient...which I suck at but am learning. I still experience "swell hell" it's definitely a real deal. It's uncomfortable at times. My right breast appears to be healing differently than my left. But I have to remind myself they are separate entities lol and have minds of their own. There are roller coaster days where I feel like I don't look as good as I should after putting my body through all of this... and then days where I feel like a sexy biatch lol I suppose that's all part of being a womAn... surgery or no surgery hahaha.

A little over 9 weeks Post Op
It's been awhile since I posted an update.
My energy level is approaching normal again. I'm excited to be increasing my workouts finally. Almost back to normal, with the exception of core work which should be able to resume the end of this week as I hit the 10 wk milestone. I've gained 8lbs since my surgery so that is discouraging but I suppose part of this whole process.
I do have swelling that makes me feel uncomfortable after working out and at the end of a busy day. I find that wearing the compression garment as much as possible significantly helps with this! I'm ready to be done with them but they definitely help.
I think the girls have pretty much dropped with little assistance. Now I feel worried they will get too low too fast lol hopefully that's just paranoia. The incision is finally closed and healing.
My TT incision seems to be healing fine, it's just red. I use a scar gel cream provided by my PS on it every day.

You look great....Are you still using the scar gel from dr. Gorin? If not how long did you use it, and what are you using now?
Hi! Sorry for the delay, somehow the message telling me I had a message went to my junk mail.
Actually at my last appt Dr Gorin told me I should stop using the silicon scar gel and begin using vitamin E oil. So I've been doing that now for a few weeks. I had to order it on Amazon because it's pretty tough to find in the store.
Oh you can find it at Walgreens and they have it oil not capsules .
Oh man! Didn't know that ;) but will get it there when I need more ! Thanks for the tipn
Congratulations. You look amazing!

Yea for five weeks!! Looking great!!!
Thank you :) Yay indeed!!!! On one hand I can't believe it's been 5 weeks already and on the other I'm ready for it to be 15 weeks!!!!
You look great! I get my mommy makeover 2/15/2017! Thanks for your detailed journey. I just started my review on here. I borrowed a walker for after my surgery. I'm also getting the arnica and colace. Any other advice on how to prepare would be great!
Thank you! I definitely benefited from being able to read reviews and see pictures :) happy to help others with mine! I didn't have a walker...but i have seen others who have..anything that helps :)
Congratulations on your upcoming procedure! :)
Wow you look great! Your BB is perfect too!
Oh thank you!!! :) yeah I'm pretty happy wth my BB! You definitely see some crazy results out there! I was nervous about that.
Yes I agree! Having a weird belly button is one of my fears yikes!
Looks great!!! I finally got my procedure done! Feels amazing! Dr Gorin is amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing your update. I think your results are looking great, but it does seem like your healing has been a long process. Good for you for learning how to patiently wait it out. Please keep us update on your progress and let the community know when you need support.
