:clap2: Hooray, for flat tummys... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Momoffour, when did you have your Tummy Tuck? I'm sitting here wondering if your belly button is healing well. It looks very different from what mine looked like. Mine looked like a small little belly button right off the bat, I am just wondering if yours is okay. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, how recent are those pictures? Just concerned for you. And make sure once its dry and healed that you put a marble or something so that the wound doesn't heal itself shut. I didn't know this and my belly button is kind of tiny because since its a circular cut the natural tendancy our body would have is to heal it shut, I myself am scared to stick a marble in there, but the ps said that is what they recommend. I just take a square of toilet paper and fold it really tight into a little cylinder type thing and stick it in there and it has helped. And is worse comes to worse, the ps said he could correct it a little with local anesthetic to open it a little more.

Thanks for sharing! You guys look great. I hope I won't need a TT (no more money) but if I do, I sure hope it turns out well like yours.

Thanks for the pix...I am wondering what it costs, since I'm sure none of it is normally covered. I know I will need a TT, and a boob lift at the very least. Thighs aren't too bad, upper arms not great but still elastic somewhat. Belly gotta go though any qoates on how much?

OUCH, that picture with the bellybutton hole looks kind of raw. Is that the way it's suppose to look while it's healing? Yikes, that scared me, but you're looooooking good.

The Tummy Tuck took you from a size 14 to 10??? OMG, that's great.

Believe it or not...I had NO PAIN with my new belly button :) It's still a little red, but when I saw my PS today for my 2 month check-up she was VERY pleased at the way it's healing and I must admit it looks so cute..better then my original :clap2: I'm going to upload some pics from my 2 month check-up tomorrow to show my progress. I still have some swelling....but everday it gets alittle better :biggrin1: and I'm loving my nice flat tummy :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
