WORTH IT$9,000
I had my extended tummy tuck on 11/9/11. The scale is fine as I shift between 142-145 but my stomach feels like it is bloated and not as flat. It also feels tight at night -I am worried that I will have that horrible tire of fat return! I know I could eat less snacks but I work out 5-6 times a week and really do watch what what I eat but am never hungry for breakfast and hungry in the afternoon and when I get my kids down to sleep! Any advice or do other people have this feeling?

Ok- had 3 week post op appt. and dr. thinks I'm doing great. Have 2 weeks until I need to go back. Started massaging scar with cream to even out the bumps... Still have Garment on for 24/7 for one more week and than only 12 hrs. a day. Can't wait and hope when I go back in 2 weeks I get the go ahead to work out! I miss the gym! Overall feeling good but having trouble sleeping but not taking any meds as I have no pain. I am still super swollen but they say it will continue to go down...I hope so!!!

Big differences between week 2 and week 3 - your bb is healing well and despite swell hell, you look smaller. Best of luck in your continued healing!

Thanks- My PS told me to bring my undies with me to the surgery and I wore them while he marked me up so I could make sure scar was low. So far so good.
You will do great!

You look great!! I still have swelling at night and wear my garment then. You will probably want to wear your garment for about 4 months almost all the time. I did to help with the swelling and it just made me feel better. Everyone is different though.. I love my new tummy I just wish a lot of the numbness would go away!!
