So, I'm almost three weeks out since my procedure. I'm still having weird pains. I guess it's just all part of the healing process. It's funny how it's only been 6 months since my first procedure and I've already forgotten how I felt 3-4 weeks after getting the procedure done.
My skin has retracted so much that my stretch marks have caused my skin to look crinkly. You can see what I'm talking about in the picture below.

This was taken right after I woke up too - if you're tummy has a time when it looks it's best, that would certainly be it!
It upsets me a little bit. I knew it was a possibility but it looked so good after the first week I was really hopeful that it wasn't going to happen. But, the skin does continue to tighten for up to three months so I guess my optimism was a little premature.
The massage therapist thinks that it could potentially get better once the hardening and softening of the skin has gone through it's cycles, but she said that it was unlikely that it would completely resolve itself.
I'm hoping that once I start hitting the gym and focusing on my diet, I'll be able to tighten it up a little more.
And, if all else fails, I'll just have to get a tan. Skin always looks better tan :)
