Answering Christy about TT numbness

[Guest guest]

Hi Christy,

I would be happy to keep in touch about changes in my body from the

pregnancy and TT. I do think that I feel a little more " stretching " with the

skin

than I might have otherwise.... but I assume it would be the same thing if I

had just been a normal weight at some point in my life and hadn't stretched my

skin out a bunch from being so overweight. I have a VERY thin friend who got

pregnant and she said that her skin felt like it was going to rip apart! She

also looked great very soon after delivery and it's hard to tell that she was

ever pregnant... so I guess it all just depends on what your body was like

before. Even with the tummy tuck, I wouldn't classify my stomach as being

" flat " .

It definitely looks great under clothes, but I still see a pouch when I'm

naked (which I try to avoid at all costs!!! LOL). However, I lost over 300

lbs... so my experiences are probably a little more extreme than some.

I will keep you posted as I get bigger (everyone assures me that I WILL

eventually get bigger..right??? ) And please do the same.

Oh... and my numbness from surgery is getting less after a year and a

half. I also had a breast reduction AND arm surgery (bat wing removal ) at

the

same time. The surgery was a piece of cake. I was really amazed. I would

be happy to answer questions about any of that.

Talk to you soon Christy and my prayers are with you!!
