Spent almost all of Labor Day weekend lounging in a bikini - I'm so happy I could squeal!

I feel like it's hard to see in the comparison shot - here's one month PO

One Month PO

  • 29 Aug 2013
  • 1 month post
Today officially marks one month post op and I cannot tell you how amazing I feel. I am beyond thrilled with the results and am almost feeling 100% recuperated. I'm still wearing the compression garment almost 24/7 and will be for another week and a half, but I did lay out at the pool in a bikini for the first time in my life last weekend! It was surreal. Monday, at 4 weeks PO, I exercised for the first time and went on the treadmill, walking for 15 minutes and then jogging slowly for 20. Wednesday I took it outside and walked for 5 minutes to warmup and cool down, and jogged for 25 minutes. I was told to slowly build up so I'm trying not to overdo it, even though I feel so good! I almost ran in my sports bra because it was hot out, but I chickened out at the last minute! My belly button is still oozy/healing, and I do have that whole 2' incision across my midsection, but I honestly could not be happier with my decision to have this procedure done, and the surgeon I went with. He is amazing.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Ruff. He was so patient, attentive, and caring during my consultation and pre-op appointment. He answered every question I had and was very thorough in his explanations so I left feeling so good and excited. He nails that fine line between confidence and cockiness, and is a very talented surgeon with an amazing staff. I've been impressed with everything from the reception area to the surgical center, and from the receptionist to the doctor himself. He is also an amazingly skilled surgeon. I am so impressed with my progress so soon after the procedure and how quickly I've healed! He called me from his personal cell phone the night of surgery to check in and answered a call in the middle of the night when I was in a lot of pain. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
