It's been so long since I posted but thought I'd give it a shot.

So happy with my decision to do the TT. It gave me the kick I needed to start loving my body and hit the gym to get healthier as I get older.

If you're reading this and contemplating the surgery, go for it!

You look amazing! How is the scar? Has it gotten lighter?

Definitely, almost unnoticeable at the sides, still dark in the middle. But I have to admit that I'm not a big scar treatment person. Hubby didn't like the smell of the bio oil and over time, couldn't be bothered. It's covered up by anything I wear so not concerned about it!

I can't believe it's been 8 months now, seems so long ago but has gone quite fast too!

Wanted to post some photos, mostly to keep encouraging others on the journey that it is so worth it!

Posting some comparison pics - tried to keep the same outfits for a true picture. The bra/panty pic was taken a month ago, the dress pic about a week ago.

Feeling more rounded lately, not sure why or just that same old paranoia of going 'back there'. Going to the gym about twice a week so feeling stronger and focusing on just building strength and getting fit.

I did go to get the dog ears revised in early October and they also smoothed out the one side a bit that I felt was a little flabby. When I told the PS About the tummy roundness, he jabbed my tummy and said see that, there's no more fat there so that made me feel a little bit better!

Wow you look fantastic and it looks like your bb came out great. Congrats.

Thanks! The shape of the BB is fine, it's still quite coloured, the nurse at the PS office actually said it's still bruised. The top edge is quite hard from scar tissue but the PS said that should soften. It's not really noticeable in pics or from a distance, so that's good.

Awesome photos! How is the scar?

The scar is fading amazingly, I will need to grab a pic. It is faded on the sides and fading in spots in the middle. To be honest, I get fed up on the scar treatment stuff quite early (and hubby didn't like the smell of the bio- oil), so it's all just naturally fading. I wasn't too hung up on it anyways as it's covered up all the time!

Excellent! Glad to hear everything has gone so well.

Hello ladies, it's been two months since I posted an update, been so busy, funny how we get back to life at full speed in no time!

Feeling great and able to do everything as before. I get a muscle spasm in my tummy rarely which really hurts, but otherwise, no negative outcomes. Really happy with the look, there are a couple little things I'm not sure about - small dog ears which have subsided a lot over time, not thrilled about my bb but hoping that too adjusts, and feel like some more lipo should be done on the sides. Swelling comes and goes, I am noticing more last couple weeks. I'm paranoid about gaining weight, lest I wreck everything I've done, but I have been back to walking and running, and the family just joined the gym together to stay active over the winter, so hoping to tone a bit more.

Took some pics today to show you - I found a bikini I liked and actually wore it to a pool day in Colorado where we vacationed earlier in August! I have dropped a size so thrilled about that and find I can wear clothes I didn't before and everything else just looks so much better!

I missed my 3-mth PO with the PS as was just too busy at work but am due to see him again Tuesday.

Hope you are all doing well and having a good summer too!

Hey, you too! Any newer pics? I am jealous of your post-surgery weight loss though, no budging mine which is so weird and discouraging!

Wide meaning wide sided bikini bottoms lol because you obviously are not wide at all but seriously, super cute!
User Avatar
September 9, 2016
I knew what you meant lol. Actually, I got both at Walmart in the clearance racks in Colorado when we were there! I think all three pieces weren't more than $25. I wanted to see what I bought of the bikini before I spent too much!
