Still the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve lost 20 lbs since surgery. Here’s a recent pic. Follow me on my breast revision now. Very happy with my TT and my belly button. I have a separate post on my breast journey. I had surgery on 10/20. I’m not going to post doc I chose yet. I will soon but choosing a doctor is a very personal thing.
I love Dr. Gill because he was honest and he didn’t want to do my breast surgery due to the amount of surgeries I’ve had on my breast and I’m thankful for his honesty.

Forgot to add 2 years post op- Tummy still does some spasm type things with lots of ab work- doesn't hurt just weird I am getting lots of feeling back in all areas Losing 20lbs hasn't changed my results - if anything helps it look more natural since so tight I may have my extended side scars recut just because they're wider than I would like and I may take more off the sides but not bothersome yet. I'm gonna try to lose 10 more lbs before making that decision

How much is. Tummy Tuck? Does Medicare cover it after a Gastric sleeve surgery and loosing 130lbs?

I had my first fraxel laser on my scar yesterday and they injected my scar anywhere it was thick with a steroid. It was red for a little bit but I woke up to it calming down. I bought 3 treatments so I’ll keep you posted.

Do you feel as if this was all worth it? I mean the pain and cost etc?
February 1, 2021
Absolutely! 100% and thankful I chose Dr. Gill.
January 26, 2021
Yes yes and yes !!!! Almost one year post for me ! Feel free to reach to me with questions.

What kind of scar treatment did you use. I have a deep scar on my back due to gone wrong back lift. It's thick.

What prompted you to explore the laser option? Your bb looks great btw!
February 1, 2021
Thank you!
February 1, 2021
My doctor actually suggested it.
February 1, 2021
I have been reading the TT reviews toying with the idea. I had to tell you your blow by blow of your experience was amazing!! So informative with how you felt and what you were experiencing. It was very well written. The photos of products you used, super helpful. You look fantastic!!! Thank you
February 1, 2021
Absolutely! I did this so that others could see the journey and hopefully be encouraged.

Thank you!! I hope it helps!
February 21, 2021
Agree with fooledyou above. You look great. I don't live far from this Dr, so wanted to ask if there was anything you didn't like about him, before I go for a consult. Did the cost you listed include the post op work you have had done as well, or was that additional. If it was, how much more? Thanks for your help.
February 23, 2021
Everything was included except scar cream and the lasers. The only thing I didn't like is the drains in my vagina but he will not do them any other way. I asked. He's not aggressive with the lipo due to healing after surgery so the lipo 360 didn't benefit me much, I don't think. I've never been a fan of lipo though, it's so brutal.I'm very glad I chose him. He's the GOAT.

Thank you. Had lipo back in 1990. It's awful. Wouldn't do it unless he insisted. Booking an appointment with him this week. Thanks for all of the great info.

Great news! Please keep me posted!

8 weeks

Today is 8 weeks. The swelling is still crazy but I took this photo in Colorado on vacation after no compression and lots of exercise in a week. You can see the swelling on the sides. I love being normal again. I have a massage today that is much needed. I hope everyone is doing great in their recovery!

Do the massages help you?

100 percent. I think it helps break up scar tissue. I know it helps get rid of fluid.

I may try I just don't want to drive an hour to get it done

Oh no, you have no one close? I found a mobile person too. I think it helps a lot so if u can treat yourself at least once a month I would. I am trying to do them weekly but went on vacation and swelled a lot. I think that's from being so active though and out of my garment. I am trying to stay in a garment for the fascia and to prevent scar tissue.

No not really close at all...I haven't been wearing it since 1 month only occasionally and just started wearing it to exercise...after massage do you find the swelling is decreased for a period of time?
August 13, 2020
Not rely decreased long term, I just feel a lot better and my tummy is flatter for a couple days and I pee a lot. I just know there's a lot of positive from massage. Make it comfy though, not deep.

you look awesome!

Hi! I have enjoyed reading your review. I'm having a MMO with Dr Gill next month so this has been super helpful thanks. Please could you give me the contact for the massage therapist and also how many weeks after did you start getting them? :-)
