You still look great. Have you gained any weight since your tummy tuck?
Yes actually I have but not in the places I had my work done. Dr C told me to diet and exercise....
Also do you still have swelling/tightness?
No swelling, just tightness when I over eat
Oh ok. I'm 2 weeks postop, not having anymore pain, but I do get right and more swollen whenever I get up a walk or house work. Was just wondering if the tightness ever goes away. Do u recall how long it do for your swelling to subside?
I think for me about a month. But the more I moved around the better I felt but I did have the tightness then too
Still looking nice and flat!
Omg you
Look amazing!!! Like a whole new person
Thanks, I feel awesome
Thanks for updating - you look great! I'm looking forward to having my TT with Dr. C at the end of this month. Can't wait! I hope I'll be as diligent and update months/years later :)

Week I just left from seeing Dr C...... I thought that I was gonna get my drain taken out today but he said no its not time. So I'll wait. He also said that I'm healing nicely just alittle swollen but that's to be expected..... I am truly satisfied at this point be he assured me that is gonna be much better than this.....with that being said "All Smiles Here" happy healing to everyone. Have a great day

Good morning as we speak I'm on my way back to Columbus for my first check up. I am excited about my progress, I'll post more pic today. I think that my healing process is going good because everyday I'm feeling better and I'm so thankful for that the swelling is going down around my bb ..... And by the end of the day most of my swelling is at the bottom of my stomach is that natural?
I can't wait for your update I love seeing everyone post op pics good luck and happy healing
Congrats! You look great!
Wow! You look great! I'm looking forward to my date in December!
