“5'2" 175lbs Mom of 3 TT with Muscle Repair - Sebring, FL”

After 3 sections and having this flab of skin hanging on my belly for years and contemplating a TT for years I finally did it.

I hated looking in the mirror, taking pics and shopping was a huge NOOO for me..

Not only did I want a tummy tuck for cosmetic reasons but more for hygenic reasons. I hated to have to constantly lift the flap of skin to clean it to make sure it did not smell like sweat since I do spend alot of time outside with my 3 daughters.

Was I at an ideal wight for my TT?? No I guess you can say that I wasnt, but I did not have the time to work out and I didn't want to keep waiting for my kids to be older to please myself with something that I knew was going to make me feel better about myself.

Pre Surgery my stats were:
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 175 lbs
bust: 39
waist: 39
hips: 44.5

I cannot wait to see what my new stats will be once Im all healed up and the swelling has gone down.

I had my surgey on March 15, 2011
My Drains were removed on March 17, 2011

Im following my doctor's orders to the T... Just very minimal walking to the restroom and back to my resting spot. That helped me maintain the liquid draining out at 10ccs on both drains. So Im still just lounging around till the doctor says its OK for me to become more active..

Pain, not too much of it.. The worse pain I had was on one of the drain holes, but my pain medication has helped alot. I off the Vicoden already and just on Tylenol extra strength and Im doing awesome on it.

The Garment Im using I purchased it at Walmart which I feel its really comfortable and Im posting a pic of the tag in case anyone else is interested.. it was only $15 so its not too bad for those who are on a budget like me.

Day 6 Post Surgery: I thought I'd be up and running by now like I was able to with the c-sections, but this surgery does not compare to a c-section. Its way worse than a c-section..

I have to admit that being pampered by my hubby is not a bad thing. Im loving it, although I do get really bored of just watching TV and using the computer. I miss playing with my daughters and specially bugging my toddler and I know she misses it too. But I would do it all over again. Im hoping that within the next few days I can be more active and maybe start cooking at least.

Im back to the Vicoden for pain as I was not doing as well as I thought on the Tylenol and I am afraid of taking too much.

I have a follow up appt on Wednesday.. Will keep you posted on how that goes.

P.S. Im 31 Years Old

Well Im 3 weeks post op today and Im totally pain free and completely off meds... I had a follow up today and Im healing great... Im still having a hard time standing up straight... Its not that i cant its that I subsconciously slouch forward... I know Im not going to hurt myself but I guess that from being bent forward for so long and making sure that I would not hurt myself I forget Im supposed to be standing up straight....

Im feeling great.. Im loving my results and I cant wait to start doing some exercise... My hubby is going to give me the Bowflex TreadClimber so I can walk my butt off...

I'll be putting up some pics for you all to see tomorrow...

Wow, havent been on here for a while.. but I am 4 months post of as of yesterday.. I am loving my results..

Yesterday however I had a revision to the right side since I had a small chunk of fat poking out and I will most likely get a revision on the left side as well to make both sides symetrical... Im not in much pain from the revision procedure and Im loving how it looks so far... I was told I should wait 4 weeks before deciding on wether I want to have the left side revision as well but I have already decided that I want to do it.. I dont want to do it ASAP.. I really dont want to spend the whole summer trying to heal up...

I posted pics today.. and will post the revision pics next week once the sutures come off...
