WORTH IT$11,000
Married mum of two children, originally from UK but now living in Dubai. Biggest weight was 19st5lbs (273 lbs or 123kg) After a gastric bypass in 2010 I went into tummy tuck surgery weight 11stone exactly (153lbs or 70kg). I'm 5ft4 and aged 31. Surgery cost 40000aed which is 6800 British pounds or11000 US dollars.
I had 2 kg of skin and fat removed. Full tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and muscle repair. I am now day four, still in pain and feel like I have been hit by a bus. Can't stand straight. I'm hoping this gets better. I've not seen my tummy yet as its wrapped in bandage and garter type thing. Won't get to see it until Tuesday. Fingers crossed [RS bleep]

Day 5 po and still bent over, please when will I start to straighten up? Feeling a bit down just want to recover. Sleeping on the settee which is fine just waking up stiff and aching. Role on Tuesday dressings off and first shower!

Feeling okay today, wrapped me self up in bin bags so I could have a shower. It worked! Still can't stand up straight though... Starting to worry about that, is it normal? I will be one week post op tomorrow. I would have thought by now I could get a bit straighter, but I'm still bent right over. Will try to get a pic!

I seen two at cosmesurge and decided owner sahar as she was very honest and realistic about scar and results. I seen two drs in UK before and neither of them anywhere near as clear as dr sahar, you have to go with who's right for you x good luck

Hi there! Do not worry about not being able to straighten up when standing. Everyone will have thier own thier own recovery time-it's perfectly normal, and it will depend on how much muscle and skin they removed. Congratulations on a BIG step! I wish you a happy and painless recovery.

I had my surgery on 10/11 and I'm still not quit straight. for the first 2 weeks i was quite hunched. my doctor pulled me really tight!

Hey wild, I had mine on 10/16 and man is my belly tight! Especially like the area above my stomach right under my boobs is that how urs is? I try to stretch but it doesn't feel like its working.

yea, mine was tight at the top and really sore for awhile up.top too! the tightness feels a little.lower now but without a cg i will start hunching towards mid day or so. i notice each day its getting a bit better! just takes time. I'm not pushing it because i hear of women who do push it and sometimes they end up pulling their scar apart some! i figure when my body is ready it will be straight, not worried! :)

Just seen this? Yes very tight indeed, still now.... But I'm just about straight. By end of the day when I'm tired I'm hunched again.
