Tummy Tuck: Stories

Hello I have wanted this ever since the birth of my second daughter 7 years ago. My motivation is to feel confident and be a happy healthy fit mom without the excess belly apron.

Im so so nervous although I have been reassured that It will be life changing and I will be satisfied remarkably by these procedures. Lipo to the back and flanks full TT. No breast Aug at this time.

Ok so looks like I made it. Stage one complete ..I made my appointment and didn't rip my iv out run out of the operating room and head home in fear .LOL although it did cross my mind a few times. I am proud to say I did it ..and honestly the most excruciating part of this recovery process up until now has been the sight of my bruised and swollen body.that and the first bowel movement its all down hill after that experience trust me. The pressure was immense I'm so thankful I finally went ..whew what a relief literally. Pain is managble I'm taking my pain pills plus tylenol and muscle relaxers. Lounging in my rented recliner. I don't think I would have been able to get comfy with out it . I'm very swollen and bruised as I mentioned before. I will update soon with new pics thank u ladies I hope I am some help to you god bless and stay beautiful.

Hi ladies ...I'm post op 10 days today .I went into surgeons office today doing exceptionally well.Still swollen especially in the lower back area where the majority of the lipo was performed,plus being hunched all this time has been like hell on my back.I had to say good bye to my trusty little walker. I did suffer from seperation anxiety at first but am getting around so so without it. Drains removed today also ..it didn't hurt at all.. kinda felt like a little snake slithering out of my abdomen. The hardest part about today was getting into my compression garmet it was so so tight ..IT TOOK MY PS AND ASSISTANT TO SQUEEZE ME INTO IT. I managed to squeeze out a little joke amongst the tugging the garmet on ..I was like its like trying to squeeze Texas into Florida. It's the only way I could describe it . That being said once it was on I could barely breath the dam thing was crazy tight!!! But I did feel a lot better more secure kinda like everything is tight not so swollen and achy.Uggh then she put the ab binder back on me Omg now I know what the Victorian aged women felt like!! All tight up with all kinda corsets its official I will never eat again I thought ! Not so true .the garmet does lossen and I can still breath feeling better now drainless .This does get better every day. Ready for the next little victory .I will post post op pics real soon promise stay beautiful ladies.

Hi ladies I am now 18 days po everything is going well . Swelling is still very present but I know patience is required for that matter. I'm just relaxing a lot. It's the only way to heal properly. I'm driving the girls to and from school now that's still very uncomfortable so I limit my trips to strictly school and home. I can't stress the importance of just doing nothing and staying reclined eating well and staying hydrated . Stay beautiful ladies.

Just thought of this.....so tired of being hunched over it's so annoying ! I hate being hunched over more than the swelling.week three i s approaching and I'm stlll vertical. I see these other chicks on here standing up strate with bikinis on at po day three crazy right. My incision is super low I do love that but Damb this hunch back is killing my back which already hurts so bad from the lipo. H
