I should be nice and have my husband take some pics of my TT scar for everyone. Mine is WAY lower than yours. Do you have any issues with covering yours with like a swim suit bottom or underwear?

PS: You look fantastic!

Thank you... the 6 month and year was taken by my PS. the other was taken this am.... I had people asking how visible my scar was. its actually pretty low... about two inches from the top of my "private". i lighten the picture up so it can be seen. not normally that white... hehe. but the tanning bed is calling my name.... lol I wear string bikinis with no problem and thong underwear... Even the skimpiest is still good. You should have him take some... im sure others would love too see a good outcome.

My scar is right across the top of my "private" area to the point where my pubic hair is "cut off" by the scar, if that makes sense? It's hard to tell how far around yours goes, because of those black boxes. Mine goes ALL THE WAY around me except for about a 3 inch gap above my butt crack.

Will definitely have the hubby take some pics next time we're doing progress pics for my weight loss.

How much weight did you lose with your Tummy Tuck? I have a similar issue and an trying to gauge how much more weight I would lose. Thanks so much for sharing! Very inspirational!!!

I didn't lose any weight with my Tummy Tuck. I'm sure I lost some fat and the weight of the skin, but that was more than made up for by the swelling. I had my tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and all-over Lipo in Mexico. I stayed there for 2 weeks, and weighed exactly the same when I got home as when I'd left.

Who was your surgeon in Mexico?

Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas. My experience with her was excellent, but my surgery was 3.5 years ago. I know she is working out of a new clinic and the recovery house has been moved to a new house (believe it's still operated by the same people). If you are considering plastics, you should definitely research her and see if you can find recent reviews about the new facilities.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
