WORTH IT$10,000
It been a little over a week since my last post. I am 4 weeks post op and I am amazed the difference I feel after the 3 week mark. I still swell at night but it's not as much or as early on in the day!! My incision is looking better but I still wonder when to start scar therapy on it. I have an appointment with my PS in a week and ill ask then. Along with the 100 other questions I have written down. I did go down another size!!! I am sure when all the swellings gone I'll be even smaller!!
I would like to thank all of you for the support the last month. You all have really been a god send. THANK YOU!!

Yesterday marked my 3 weeks. It's amazing how much better emotionally and physically I feel!! I am still swollen but I'm not going to let that get me down. I knew about swelling and I've just decided to embrace it.
I added a photo of my new outfit I was able to buy! So excited to buy smaller clothes. Maybe now ill enjoy shopping!

Hello sistah you look great! I had a complete tummy tuck on March 21st in Florida. Surgery went well until the end of the second week. I have massive swelling it feels as if though my stomach is going to burst open. My lower abdomen is hard also is this normal?

I had my surgery on March 22nd. I too am swollen on my lower tummy. I was told this is completely normal especially when you are up and moving around. The fluid you retain goes to your lowest point which happens to be there.
Lymphanic massage has helped me greatly with the swelling… if you haven't had one I would check with your PS and see if he recommends them.
Good luck on your healing. We'll be flat in no time :-)

Hi blossomedLily. I am 12 weeks po and my lower tummy above the incision has been hard since surgery. It's getting a little better, but still hard for the most part.

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my tummy tuck!! Today has been an amazing day. I'm a little swollen but nothing I can't handle. I also went to get my lymphonic massage today. All I can say is it was amazing. The massage therapist wants to see me at least once a week for awhile I told him it was going to be to pricey for me to be able to do that and he cut the price in half!! To top off my good day I went to the mall and purchased 2 new outfits. Medium shirts, probably could have gotten a small but still unsure and size 8 pants. Before my surgery I was in an XL shirt and had to lay down to button my size 12 pants. For only being 3 weeks out I think that's pretty amazing.
I hope you all are having a great recovery...

you look amazing!! if you dont mind me asking what size were you post op and what size are you now??

Before surgery I was a size XL in shirts and my jeans were a 12. The jeans were tight but I wasn't going a size up :-). Just yesterday I purchased a size 8 jeans and they fit perfect even with my swelling and a medium shirt. I don't think that's to bad for 3 weeks after sx

Thats awesome! Congrats Miranda! I haven't tried my jeans on yet or went shopping for any yet. Still have an awful lot of swelling in my lower ab.
So happy for you!!!
