“17 DPO and doing pretty well”

As a result of my twin pregnancy, I have severe diastasis (separated stomach muscles) along with a lot of excess "wrinkly" skin. I researched the surgery a lot after my twins, but after... more

“Feel Great 18 Days Post Op from a...”

Seems odd to me that I feel so good so shortly after my Full TT. Initially I was very sore and extremely bruised on my flanks and I felt tight in the abdomen for about 7 days. I only took pain medicine for 2 days because it really didn't hurt that much. Unlike many posts I have seen I was able to stand up straight on the 7th day post op. My stomach is flat as can be and I am extremely happy... more

I have had two kids...my youngest being ten months and opted for a tummy tuck because I have excess loose skin. I barely make 100 pounds, so losing weight was not the issue...it was loose baggy skin.
