Feeling better every day !
I know most of us think that we will never walk upright again after a tummy tuck but I can assure you it does happen but all in due time lol.
I am about 8 weeks post op and feeling better everyday. I am actually hitting the gym and did my 1st ab exercises this past weekend YAAAY.
I have been doing everything else but chest and abs now I am finally getting it all in WOO HOO!!!
I was so pumped ;-)!
I am still very pleased with my decision to go through with the surgery and the Dr that I had chosen.
Happy Healing All!
I do still get a bit of swelling on flanks where lipo was done but it comes and goes.

Hello all so far so good Tummy still tight and a bit numb in front but that's fading slowly.
The flank areas where I had lipo seem to be coming back to life as well but still some swelling when I am on my feet for a long time or wear jeans. It is a strange sensation as if you had a belt around your waist .
My breasts are coming in nicely and have a couple of hard spots on my stubborn left breast and a little tender in a couple of spots but they are softening every day and looking great.
I have been hitting the gym lots but am trying to not overdo it.Prior to my surgery I was lifting heavy in the gym but I have to learn my limitations til I am 100%.

4th week post op
Good morning folks,
I am on my 4th week post op I seem to be doing ok, back at work, doing a bit of cardio, light dumbells for biceps and triceps but definitely going slow and light .
I have been experiencing lots of sensations as the numbness wears off and nerves seem to be reconnecting.
I still have some swelling on my sides, lower back where I had lipo it seems to settle down if I lay down and relax a bit but when I am up and about wearing my jeans it comes back.
I have also hear some people mentioning a sensation around their sternum area which I have as well.
I have been experiencing a bit of tingling ,burning here and there but I am assuming this is all normal as tissue ,nerves and numbness is wearing off.
I also have one breast that feels a bit firmer than the other with more swelling and is taking it's sweet ass time healing but I have an appointment on the 11th we will see what the doctor says.
Other than that I feel great my tummy and breasts still look great.
My belly button is taking its time healing but I have been putting peroxide on it daily after the shower.
I feel as this procedure was worth doing even thought the healing process takes some time.
I definitely would say it's worth it.
