It's Finally Happening!!! - Fleming Island, FL

Howdy folks I am back, so it's been 6 months since my procedure, and I couldn't be happier!! Summer is just around the corner and I am looking forward to proudly wear my bikini! no more worries of my old ugly stretched out belly......now it's new and tight and pretty!! I am still very thankful that I had this done, and if I had to go back and do it over I would in a heartbeat. I still have a loss of sensation around my belly button lower abs, but nothing painful, still haven't started an work at the gym pretty much just light walks, and an occasional Zumba class. I will post some new pics, hope all is well for everyone in tummy tuck land :-)

Hola tummy Tucker's, It has been quite some time since my last update!! I went back to work at 4 weeks PO and that went pretty well, swelling was rough but expected. Since I went back things have been good, being that I am a hairstylist I spend a lot of time standing, and my back hasn't bothered me a bit since surgery, I was carting around 8 lbs of extra skin and had no muscle wall left, so having that fixed made a huge difference in my back pain! As the weeks pass things are improving more and more each day, I am feeling about 80% normal at this point, still feel tightness by the end of the day. I went back to the gym tonight, and it felt great to workout without my giant belly getting in the way, I felt so confident and wasn't constantly adjusting my clothes, I actually enjoyed working out !! I am so happy I decided to do this for myself, I feel so much better in and out of clothes, it changed the way I feel about myself, I felt like I was living in someone else's body for the last seven years and now I finally have my body back and then some! It was worth every penny spent and I am not even fully healed yet.

Okay so went I went in for my second post op today, and it just so happens that last night the left side of my incision started looking "angry" red, inflamed, hard to the touch :-( also my belly button was looking yucky!! So now I am on antibiotics, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but wasn't overly concerned either, so for now I will just take my antibiotics and see what happens. So other than that minor set back all is good. Still swollen, but that is to be expected. He told me I could start walking , and that I could take baths and go in my hot tub (because my incision is sealed). Still taking it easy not pushing it too much. I will post again next week. Take care all :-)
