Even with the swelling still hanging around, I look down and can't quite believe that saggy, jiggly belly is really gone. It's a long scar, but it's healing beautifully — and since I started using the ointment my surgeon recommended, it's been fading noticeably. I barely had any bruising, even in the first few days, so my doctor actually asked if I work out a lot. I do exercise quite a bit, but honestly I think it had more to do with how well the surgery went. Swelling and all, I already have a real waistline again and I love the shape of it. From here it's just staying active and keeping up with scar care. Can't wait to hit the three-month mark!
