Kinda 'comfortable in his own skin' I guess you'd say. Telepun's just relaxed and good at what he does. The receptionist is a darling (and looks SO good I hope I look so good when I'm her age) and the nurse is just the kindest thing, and Dr. I think they really just are 'like that' though. Telepun's like 'hey girl' when he walks by. It's so funny that I go in and I know everybody, walk around like I own the place, and Dr. I just am going to talk about it some in this post.

I still believe this one of the best decisions of my life.įeel free to ask questions if you need toīefore you freak out, NO, I'm blessed to say I do not have breast cancer.

I rarely even think about my tummy scars at all. My scars on my chest are still much more red to my tummy scars, but they're starting to fade some. I'm working on that but its verrrrrrry slow going. Sometimes when I'm working out I feel like I look a litte disproportionate because my arms and chest still carry a lot of weight but its very flat and small on my bottom half. I'd like to see that number drop, but until I can stay away from girl scout cookies all together it is what it is. I can it comfortably in any size 12 and the occasional 10 and that's much more important to me than a scale number. Even with dieting and exercise 5x a week. I will tell you that my weight has changed very little during this whole time. But I do not experience any pain when exercising (that I'm not supposed to feel). The button itself is still completely numb and the lower portion, especially around the front hip area, I can't feel.

I've got full feeling right about to my belly button now. I still don't have full feeling in my stomach. Sometimes I can't 'feel something' in my abs because I'm still numb there. I have been taking pure barre exercise classes and I have no problems. So I'm at the 8.5 month mark and, yes, I'm still happy that I had the surgery! My biggest problem may be that I think I look better than the rest of the world does. Now I just need to do the things needed to get healthy on the INSIDE!Īlways feel free to ask my questions using the contact me button!!! HOWEVER, in spite of all this, and the fact that I didn't really consistently work out ALL YEAR LONG or make any real effort to lose weight you can see that there is a DEFINITE difference in the way my body looks. Also, my arms and my face is the WORST about showing that I'm up 4-5 lbs. I can tell that I 'store' weight their now and can tell it when put on pants. Of course I COULD get off my lazy butt and lose the weight which would most likely take care of this problem. Its not something that my doctor would do at one time because of blood loss, but it does occasionally bother me. I wish that I would have had some lipo or something on the TOP part of me (where I feel the thickest). My scars look pretty good but they've not disappeared completely. I'll have an appt with my doctor soon about this, but I do feel like gravity is pulling me down again. I don't feel like the breast lift has really 'stayed in place'. Make sure that you're committed to weight loss in ADDITION to the surgery. So its bothersome because there's a bit of a disconnect. I'm not sure if this is because what I see in the mirror doesn't match the number in my brain so I don't focus on getting smaller, but I can REALLY see how much I 'weigh' in my FACE. It has been EXTREMELY difficult for me to lose weight. I'm literally within about 4 lbs of where I started based on WEIGHT. My weight itself has not really changed all that much from the before picture to the end. I'll leave those to the end so you'll read the lessons learned part first. I thought I'd share with you some of the things I've learned in the year and, of course, photographs. So, it's been one year to the day that I had my tummy tuck.
