Being 5 weeks out I'm back at the gym and I'm able to "be active" with my fiancé (btw my new body has turned the heat up a lot in the bedroom for both of us...feeling sooo sexy).
I did a BMI test the other day and my BMI was 28.5%, prior to surgery it was 34%!! So not only am I looking good, but I am healthier as well!
As you can see from my picks my upper abs (the area that was lipoed) and my lower abs (which I plan on getting a TT in July) looks more normal. Initially after surgery my upper abs looked awesome and my lower protruded. Now it looks more natural. I would be ok with this body for a while. Fortunately, my fiancée is supportive of me taking the next step sooner, so I'm gonna get it done. Can't wait!
Dr. Kramer suggested that when I get my TT that I also lipo my inner and outer thighs. She said that she wouldn't have initially suggested it, but my upper ab lipo went so well that it would look strange (my words not hers) if I had this bombshell body from the belly button up and then thighs that touch.
I agree with her, I think it would look odd. Plus, even at my lowest weight my thighs touched.
This is not something that I can resolve through diet and exercise.
I'm contemplating the outer thighs. I'd be happy to get them done, and the cost is not significantly more, however I'm trying to keep costs down especially with this now being my 3rd surgery in a year's time.

Looking sexy.never thought I'd have a body like a Barbie doll!
Met with Dr. Kramer today. All is well, we talked about setting up my tummy tuck surgery.
I had the opportunity to ask some questions. One of which was: if she removed the fat from my upper abs, flanks, and back, and will also take the fat from my lower abs and my inner and outer thighs, if I gain 5lbs in the future, where would it go? My feet?
She explained that we have so many fat cells in different parts of our body. She said because I have more fat cells in my inner thighs than my arms, right now when I gain weight it goes to my feet after all surgeries,
She said that I have more fat cells in my thighs than my arms and right now when I gain weight it disperses 1st to my thighs.
She said if we lipo my legs, than any weight gained would be evenly dispersed

Sorry, I was tired when typing. Ignore the sentence: "she said because I have more fat cells in my inner thighs than my arms, right now when I gain weight it goes to my feet after all surgeries."
Note to self: don't write on my blog when I'm dozing off

Everything's going awesomely. Dr. Kramer saw me 2 weeks after and everything looked good and I have an appointment in 5 days with her just to check up on the progress.

Absolutely not. Lipo takes out the fat, but I would have still had lots of extra skin.
My doctor insisted in lipo-ing my upper abs and flanks first before doing a TT and I'm grateful she did. Since I've gone through 3 surgeries now (BA, lipo, and TT w lipo of my thighs), I am well aware of swelling. My body needed to heal from the 'trauma' of the upper ab lipo so my doctor could determine how much skin could be removed.
Looking and feeling great!
