Thanks everyone. I knew from the get-go that it probably wouldn't all come back. I'm fine with that. Like the rest of you I'll take the flat tummy any day.  But on the other hand its nice to know that there is a chance I will get back more than I have now. Right now pretty much my whole right abdominal half from just above my belly button on down to my incision doesn't have any feeling. Now on the other hand most of my sensation is intact when it comes to my breasts. There is just one small area under my left breast that is numb. I hardly notice it but I most certainly notice my abdominal numbness.
I appreciate everyone's input on this.
