I have abdominal definition...though I am definately going to need to work on a six pack and have a flat stomach FREE of sagging skin.
I vaguely remember after the surgery asking myself "why the hell did I do this?"
Now, I can see why. It was worth every ounce of pain and discomfort that I was in and was worth the uncomfortable recovery process without a doubt.
My belly button is still red around the edges, which is attributed less blood flow to the area which has made it slow to heal.
For awhile it was a having a rather triangular shape but it is gradually starting to look like something that is natural rather than something that was surgically relocated.
The skin sensations are still strange. From my belly button down, it feels like, the skin has fallen asleep so everytime I touch it it feels rather tingly. Sometimes when clothes rub against it, it feels kinda strange but I am getting used to the weird sensations. My doctor assures me that over time most of the feeling should come back to normal...but nerves on regenerate at 1-2 mm a day...so I have quite sometime on my hand.
My scar is flat in all areas but about an inch and a half on the right hand side. (The doctor will inject cortisol to the area if it does not flatten out). It is still a rather dark shade that I am not necessarily happy with but the trade off was definately worth it.
I have sucessfully brought my weight down to between 116-120, given the day of the week and am proud that my hard work and dedication ultimately paid off. Now just to tone this booty of mine. Alright...kiddos screaming. Gotta jet.
