I had a child when I was 19. I gained alot of weight when I was pregnant. Which caused horrible stretch marks and saggy skin. I have put up with for years. I work out 4-5 days a week. I have done insanity, p90x. But the skin is still there. I decided i was not going to be happy until I had a tummy tuck. I had my tummy tuck yesterday, Jan 16th. I did not have lipo or muscle tightening. My PS said I had goo muscle tone and no fat. I am feeling pretty good. There is some discomfort and burning sensation near my incision. I have been camped out on the couch but getting up to walk around living room every few hours. So far so good.

I was able to take off the dressing today and sponge bath. yay! I was so nervous to see my stomach for the first time. OMG I love it. i couldnt be more happier. I had so many stretch marks so I knew I was still going to have some, but I can't believe how tight and smooth it is! I am so happy. I am not as in much pain and am moving around alot.
The pain meds have also stopped me up so I sent my boyfriend out for MOM and prune juice. As I have been reading other reviews and this seems to help.. So I am waiting!

So I am freaking out. I have been doing pretty well up until this point. I took my dressings off this morning a revealed my belly. Had two BM after taking the MOM and prune juice. WOOO let me tell you. Lucky I was near the bathroom that stuff works really well.
I am starting to freak out about the binder and swelling. I am extremely swollen which I wasn;t this morning. Am I doing something wrong? I dont know if my binder is tight enough or to tight? Does that effect swollen? My boyfriend also thinks i may be dehydrated from the bathroom trips, so I just sucked down three glasses of water.
Overall I can't complain but all this swelling is scaring me

Hi Gia! Congrats on your bathroom success! That took me 6 or 7 days and it was a struggle but it seems to have happened easily for you. Don't worry about the swelling!! It is normal for the next 6 weeks. It is also normal to be less swollen for the morning (you've been off your feet all night) and more swollen at the end of the day after you've been up and around. Just make sure you aren't doing too much, too soon. And definitely drink that water! Between the MOM, the pain meds, the antibiotics, etc., you need to keep your hydration up.
Your 'after' pictures look great!! If you're happy now, you'll be ecstatic when the swelling subsides. :-) Happy healing!
