Tummy Tuck - Florida

This month makes one year since I had my TT and I have to say that it completely changed my life for the better!! Anyone who questions a TT with extra weight on them should not hesitate due to others saying to lose more weight before the surgery. Before my surgery, I couldn't exercise.like I can now...I couldn't even run without my flap of fat holding me back!
Shortly after I had my surgery, I started gaining weight. My husband became withdrawn from me and well...you get the drift. Marriage was going to poo. At the time I was having work issues, we were having marriage problems and food became my release again....bad move! I began swelling up. I got to the point where I couldnt fit in my clothes before the surgery! I knew it was me allowing stress to slowly kill me!
I woke up one day and said "I'm done with it all!" I allowed my, now ex husband, a guilt free life. I wanted to show my daughters I could be a strong, independent woman that wouldn't allow a man to bring her down! I started running because for one, I actually could now without my fat flap in the way and it was such a release from all the stress! I found this site through a friend called team beachbody and gave it a try. I did the slim in 6 workout and lost 6 inches off my waist and 20lbs! My TT really allowed me to get the most out of my workouts! I have went on to do the turbofire 90 day challenge and so far,it is really great! It is just amazing what a second chance and a little boost can do for a Girl I'm such a happier person now and although I still have a long way to go with my weightloss goals, I have already changed my life forever!
So, I'm not saying my TT caused my divorce nor did it cause my weight gain. My TT allowed me to be me in a happier body :-)

MIGHT I ADD....after I posted my post op pics, I want to add that I had a major 'who-ha' lift and I was told not to shave or wax before surgery...so...it looks bad in 'that' area. Also, I have no butt...should have gotten the two procedures deal with a brazilian butt lift...lol...seriously though...too bad my belly wasn't ever that flat...lol

Today, I snagged my left drain yet again....I wish I had, had a bikini wax job before going through surgery because tape from drains are so painful when I move. I hope I get these bad boys out tomorrow. I drained 10cc from each tomorrow so it's not looking good. Doctor wants it lower then 20 cc all together per day... I hate the drains but I don't want to swell up afterward if she takes them out to early. Doctor said she would have to drain it with a needle if that happens. I'm still happy though! :-)
