Three years post op

WORTH IT$6,800
After three years, I'm still so glad I did it. My scar is so faded now I don't really think about it much. I even wear bikinis that do not cover it and it is not that noticeable. I have hit the gym a lot, and it is wonderful to have a stronger core. I don't miss leaking pee when I cough or sneeze anymore at all! Not a benefit many people discuss, but it happened to me. I am 5 weeks out from a Figure competition. That suit won't cover much at all,the scar and all my leftover but tightened stretch marks will out in the open. But I feel so much better and confident. Still very happy with my decision!

What an inspiration, I'm 61 and grandma to 7.It is encouraging to me to read your story. I'm having body lift in next few months--and your posts have helped me know what to expect post op. I'm recuperating from mastopexy and upper and lower blepharoplasty. I miss my workouts the most. You're photos show great musculature. You're legs, also.
I'm considering lipo of inner thighs, but thought maybe the body lift plus "leg day" workout at my gym 3 times per week would be enough to tone that area.?
Did you decide to go for the lipo, as you were considering in the earlier post?
Congratulations, I hope to look half as fabulous as you.
Thanks so much for your kind it's. So glad I was able to inspire you. I haven't found any way to fix the minor issue under my booty. I just accepted it. I did three figure competitions last year and enjoyed it. You should try the gym before lipo. That stuff hurts a lot, but so does the gym, only it's good for you, not as risky, LOL!
Such a great story! I've copied your play list and words of wisdom from an early post regarding how healing yourself now will keep you strong for the future. Thank you!
How long before you felt well enough to start working out?

Your before and after are drastically different. Awesome :-)
Thanjs. It was definitely worth it to me
You look amazing! I would never guess those are the abs of someone with 8 children and grandchildren. Fantastic results.
Aww thanks Nichole :)
You look AWESOME,

It has been a year since my procedure. I did a one...

It has been a year since my procedure. I did a one year post op on April 30. The surgeon thinks he can improve a few spots on my incision, and will do it after summer is over, so I have all winter to heal up. having this done has made a very positive difference in my life. I feel so much stronger in my core, and I am very happy with the improvement it made in my appearance.
