Well I've had my three month review and surgeon seems very happy with results!
I had a few queries around my hips as I think I may have dog ears developing but he is confident they will go. I'm due to see him again in april/may time next year. So pleased and amazed at the transformation. Still the same on the scales which is frustrating but I'm eating healthy so just need to be patient!
I'll update pics with this post.
Thank you to all that's followed my journey.

You look amazing
I think your looking very good your journey is far from over mine seam to go much better in between 4.5 months and 6.5 months and the swelling is not as bad.
Take care G
Thats encouraging, thank you x
You look great. Thanks for sharing.
You are looking great so far and it can only get better :-) I am seeing Mr Marcellino for my follow-up on the 9th October.

How are you feeling? My muscle repair is suddenly sore which is apparently because nerves are recovering. X
Thank you! You are looking great too :)
I get the odd swinge in my MR plus swelling still lurking around! So pleased though! Mr Marcellio was extremely happy with results and he said full results will show on next appointment in April or may next year! X
Thank you, it's a journey worth taking :)

Your shape is looking fab, I hope I look as good as you when I have mine done on 9-12-15. Good luck with your recovery x
Thank you. It's been a tough few weeks but beginning to feel totally worth it! Good luck, you will be fine :)
Wow things are really taking shape! So pleased for you :-)
Thanks! Getting there!
Not long for you Now :)
Yes five days to go!!! Any advice?

I have lost 7lb more pounds since I saw Mr Marcellino 2 weeks ago. Feeling pretty rough from the lack of carbs. Urrrgggh.
Well done you! I'm on the diet now.
Only advise I would say is, don't try to rush things. You will feel frustrated with yourself but remember most things take core effort so a simple task will now be impossible for a while!!
I slept in the recliner until 2wpo as my bed was too uncomfortable, but you may be different.
Mya hospital is lovely, the staff are so friendly, please don't worry because everything will be fine!!
Only last thing... Get them to remove drains when you have pain meds in you. I didn't and regretted it.
I'll keep checking your profile! X
Sorry to but in but when having drains out ask them to take the pressure off altogether leave for 15 min then take the drains out I can guarantee you won't feel a thing the trick is to release the pressure and wiat till it's all got change to go.
Thanks so much for the advice ladies :-)

Ukvirgo81 how is it being back at work? Is your job very physical?
Oh I wished my nurse knew to do that with the drains. It bloody hurt :(
Work is fine, I manage a store. It's a case of walking a fair bit but I have the option to sit when needed. The only issue is swelling. Apart from that I'm doing good! X
Think you will find you will swell more now but don't worry it's normal. I have just worked out I am 16 week in and still swell and I don't work. Just hang in there it takes time about 7 months I have been told before it improves a lot but still swells
wow ! Your tt came out very nice, congratulations, you look great !
Thanks, it's getting better! :)

Wow you must be so pleased!!! Looks fantastic already!! :-)
I really am!! Hope this gives you peace of mind :) he's a great surgeon and I was looked after very well at Fitzroy. Can't wait for the swelling to go down, final results are going to be awesome!!
Seeing your wonderful results really has made me feel better about things. Thank you my dear :-)
My pleasure!
I was just reading your review, great news they are refunding some of costs for you :) also. .. What pop group were you in?!

Quick update... I'm alone for first time today and struggling a little. Wished id asked hubby to take two weeks off instead of one :( just a thought for yourself xx
We were called Kaution. We never released anything so you won't have heard of us haha. It was a great experience but it definitely gave me a complex!!

Oh dear sorry to hear you are struggling. I have help for the first two weeks so hoping I'll be ok. I keep telling myself that it has to be easier than when I had a c-section and I was left to look after a newborn with no help!! I hope things get better soon xx
Ah OK, no I've not heard of them. But that's so cool!
Two weeks should be enough. I have friends and my mum periodically popping in through the day and my girls get back from school around 3pm so not all bad. Just having an emotional few days, I can compare it to the baby blues.. Getting very tearful but for no particular reason, if anything I know eventually I'll be so pleased.
Not sure about comparison to c section as never had one but I heard this is slightly longer healing because of the MR they do inside.
Xx :)
Wow you look great! I've made the decision to move forward with my tummy tuck next year and our stats are about the same. Congrats on your new flat belly! Once swelling goes down you're going to look amazing.
Congratulations on your decision!
My swelling is so bad at the moment, the picture posted above was 4dpo, I'm now 9dpo and feel like I'm twice the size!! Got to keep it in my head that it will go... Eventually! I'll post updates :)
Thanks. . . It will its just going to take time and patience. Can't wait to see your journey ;)
You look AWESOME! What a great reward!
Thank you X
So happy for you do as your ps says and you will be just fine take it easy take care.
Don't worry about the swelling it will come and go over a few months I am 3.5 months now and it's just settling down.
Best of luck for a lively out come. G
Thanks... Id love to fast forward a few weeks!!
WOWWWZERS!
