I am 38 years old & I will be 39 @ the end of the month. I'm married and we have 4 kids and I have been wanting a tummy tuck since I had my twins girls, they are 12 years old now. Well my surgery date is 12-5-2012, I am so excited. My goal is to lose a little weight before my surgery, and I am trying to do it the natural why by counting my calories, walking everyday at least 3-4 miles a day, & exercising.

Well I am still swollen like crazy & a little sore. I am getting my drain out at 9am Monday morning.I have been up walking around. I had my 1st bowel movement this morning and I feel so much better. My twins girls has been giving me a sponge bath everyday. My husband has been helping me out a lot & my son has too. I pray that this swellening gets under control. Have a bless Sunday ladies.... ;-).

Got the drain out today. Still a lot of swollen going on, they say it might be 6-8 weeks before the swollen go away. I pray that it don't take that long. I can't wear panties yet, because if I wear them, it will make a permanent line on my stomach, because I am so swollen. I did get some good news today that I can start taking showers now. Well I pray that all is going good for all the ladies that has had the tummy tuck surgery & for those who are plan on getting a tummy tuck. I guess when this swollen get under control, that's when I can see my result. Have a bless day ladies...

Who was your doctor if you dont mind me asking. Im looking for a doctor
My doctor had me wear mine for whole month after surgery... but after wants compression tanks or spanks for a while but I am still swollen.. I get ultra sound therapy twice a week. Which is helping break up the hard tissues in my abdomen. so far I have had 3 treatments and my stomach is still swollen but less hard. Hope that helps you look great though just be patient and time and healing will pay off!!!
Thanks, I was a little worried......
