I'm getting married in June and after 2 kids and much stress I decided to get a Tummy tuck and Lipo of my whole stomach and flanks. My procedure took place on April 10 so That makes me 2 weeks pot op on tomorrow. I didn't have the issues that so many spoke of. I think I walked hunched over the first day definitely cand Probably the next. After that I was walking fine. I stop the pain meds after day 2 and only took the nerve and muscle medicine. I had my drains removed on day 6 which was a Monday and as soon as I got them removed I went with my fiance and walked 2 1/2 miles on the trail and felt lovely. My only complaint right now is that my stomach is not flat enough for me and it feels so hard. I can literally feel my ribs but my stomach is hard and the incision area is still puffy. My love handles or flanks I must say right now is the best piece of art. You can clearly see the difference. I guess I just need to be a bit more patient with the front part of my abs and wait for the results. I would definitely do it again because I had a wonderful experience.

If you are in the Columbus area I would highly reccomend Dr. Bivik Shah. He is very intellectual and also he is always available for you if you have any concerns. My surgery was excellent. I didn't have any issues that I read from previous postings. So far everything has been smooth sailing. I'm just waiting for this front section to be smooth out. My love handles are gorgeous. I'm at aww when I look into the mirror.

Thank you that actually meant alot because I'm really not feeling the side view at all. But I have been told to just be patient. The incision area is really hard and swollen so hopefully it softens up and get flatter. Lol. Thank you
