I had my tummy tuck on friday april 10th 2012, it is now 10 days later and i am feeling alot better , i have been taking photos along the way and will try get htem up in the AM. The first couple of daays i stayed close to home but recently i ventured out, i am reall swollen tonight and goti on here looking for remedys , i walked a mile this morning and went to class and sat in there for 3hours so i think that did it.

I am so happy with the drains out, i have appt frida to get belly button stitches out it looks GREAT, i am happy with it , i havent seen my abdominal incision yet , i have just been reinforcing the tape on it , but i dont have external stitches, they are internal and sterri strips outside,

great tip word of advice, use the least amount tape,bandaids etc...i have been using my garment to hold my 2x2 s in place.
even my butt looks different, i dont know when i am getting the bra line completed but i am happy not to have to deal with a hurt back too.

What Dr did you end up using? Are you pleased with the result?
I just moved to Clarksville and I'm looking to get some bra line lipo. I had a TT and I am so pleased with my Dr but I had to move and he wanted me to finish healing before considering Lipo
