7+ WEEKS Post op: Hello all you beautiful ladies out there. I am feeling 98% back to me. I haven't been updating as much, due to the kids back in school, music, sport, ect. Also, I have officially GAINED (ugh) 10 lbs. since my surgery. So I am back at the gym 4-5 days a week, and back on my smoothies, and will be back better than ever in no time. If that is what it takes to comfort myself during this timeframe, so be it. It sucks, but I know I can do it (again) and be even better than before.
Saw my PS yesterday. It was our last appointment for now. If I have any problems, or if this little pin-head sized raised area of the tip of my scar doesn't settle back down, then I am done. I will give it a month and see how everything settles. I am ecstatic! No more restrictions, other than keep the scars out of the sun. Seattle in the Fall/Winter = minimal sun anyhow. He says what I am using for my scars seemed to be working well, and to continue them as desired. It really feels like I am finally, turning this page. :)
I will be here for you girls, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. I respect, admire, and enjoy ALL of you ladies! Thank you!

Hi ColeyOly-- Thanks so much for sharing your journey & pics! I am just starting the research process for a TT/BL/BA & am considering a consult with Dr. Baxter. Just wondering how you were doing now & if you still recommend him & the surgery? Is there anything you would change or wish could have gone differently? Your pictures look amazing!!! I would love to look like you! Thank you!

Hey Girlie. Sorry for my delay in response, the holiday season is making my life majorly nutty. I still recommend my DR. he listens to you, and is so wonderful at what he does. Things to consider, looking back now? If you do the "Split-plane" implant consider silicone, saline you can kinda feel under your breast. Doesn't really bother me though. Also before you go under and he is drawing on you. Look carefully and SPEAK up if you have any questions. His staff is so amazing, and he truly is an artist. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Coley-- I know this is a super-delayed response, so I'm not sure if you ever check on here anymore. But if you do, I was wondering when you mentioned speaking up when he is drawing on you-- do you feel like your results came out differently than you expected? I think I read that you felt your incision was a little high-- did he draw it like that? I think your stomach looks fabulous, but I know we are each hardest on ourselves. One of my big fears is having a too-high incision; I am 5'3" & short-waisted, so it's important for me to go as low as possible. Thanks again for sharing your journey & being so generous with advice!

6 WEEK POST OP: Wow...6 weeks already. I am feeling pretty good, all and all. Nothing much has changed since 5 week update. The only swelling issue I have is mainly on my "love handle" aka "muffin top" area. Which really pisses me off...I worked my butt off to get rid of that prior to my surgery, and now it's back 10 fold. Grr. It may be only temporary, but s*** it's bugging. I have to wear certain clothes to hide it...I didn't do this to hide my shape. grumble. pity party. ect. I am otherwise doing, really well. It's all a process, and I know this...but it doesn't mean I have to be patient, right!?!

You look great! I have a similar stomach to yours prior to surgery and I hope that after surgery, I have such good results ;-) I go October 20th for my tummy tuck (no lift or implants though). Praying that my recovery is quick, easy, and painless lol!

Bella- We do seemed to have very similar before photos. I can't wait to see your results. :) Just make sure you ask all the important questions before your surgery. It looks like you are doing the right research, and this site (and the girls) here are great! I bet you will be rocking that little bikini by summer, mama :)
