Hello everyone,
I feel so blessed to have many of you reach out to me. I didn't know I inspire so many of you. I am so happy to continue to share my journey. For those that have went through the surgery since my last update. Congrats to you. It is just a blessing from heaven to wake up after a major surgery such as this. So I will give you a few updates on me. I started working out at weekend 6, but the pressure from walking was to much. I even started going without my binder for a while, but quickly realized that my tummy still need the support. I recently broke out with a heat rash or hives on the right side of my incision. The crazy part guys is the fact it goes away when I'm not stressed. How if I start thinking to much, they hurt and ache. I never seen anything like it before. I just got back from Tennessee. I walked the smoky mountains. I saw such beautiful waterfalls at the top. But honey my stomach is on fire today. I knew I was pushing it. As I was walked down the twisting and natural turn of your body, is a workout. I recently ordered some workout DVDs from beachbody. I'm so great excited to start working out. I'm at 188, do down 12 pounds since surgery I spoke to my doctor and she said I look amazing at my size and 180, was her recommend weight for me. I told her 160 and she said that would be to small on my frame. My stomach being so flat trick people I guess. I'm a solid girl, so I would be at a 25 Bmi at 160 at 175-180 a 30
I'm currently 33 BMI. Normal is 30 not to be considered overweight. So i'm that's exciting not to worry about losing a ton of weight. Anyways, I'm just enjoying my kids guys and taking this surgery one day at a time. My body is very tired. Remember I had a breast reduction and lift 2 months before my tummy tuck. So I honestly need to focus on just getting well and not the weight. Ummm wahh to all of you. I'll have pictures soon.

Dr. Defrenzo did my breast reduction and lift back in November of 2015. I am so pleased with my results and really trust him as my doctor. My recover was great. I decided to use him for my tummy tuck due to his knowledge. Dr. Defrenzo never over promise what he can or can't do. If he feels a procedure should be covered by insurance, he does his very best to get paperwork together as quick as possible. I feel I am in good hands again for my tummy tuck.
