Weight now becoming an issue
Just a helpful tip to those contemplating a tummy tuck. Make sure to lose most of the weight that you want to lose before having the surgery. I didn't do that and now I have stretch marks where I didn't have any before and loose skin on my tummy since I lost a lot of weight after the surgery and started working out. I cut out fast food completely, and lost quite a bit of weight after the surgery and swelling went down. I wasn't told this by my doctor and I've noticed there is some flabby skin now on my abdomen which wasn't there immediately after having the surgery.
6 months post op..still not happy with my body
Ok so I hit 6 months yesterday and I am still not happy with the way I look. I don't know what I was thinking but maybe I have unrealistic expectations?? I don't know. I have a flat tummy now but I have a lot of fat on my flanks and it looks weird. The surgeon told me that I would probably need more lip on my flanks if I couldn't lose it by diet and exercise. I still weigh 161 and can't lose any weight to save my life. I did finally get a gym membership though but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I guess I'm not doing it right or maybe I'm too old to lose weight. I don't know. For those of you that are just reading this and haven't read my whole review....here's my advice in a nutshell. Please (and this is extremely important) have realistic expectations about how you are going to look. If you think you're going to look all skinny and a model it doesn't work that way. Make sure that you have all the information before you have the surgery, ask the doctor what he/she thinks is going to be the end result and if you are going to need additional work to get to where you want to be and how much the total cost is going to end up being for that. Please have a good support system and make sure you have help. It's hard to do this when you don't have a good support system and/or no help. If you do all of these things then you are more than likely going to be happy with your results and be overall happier with yourself as well. I wish all of you well and hope that all of you get the results you want. Good luck!
Need to correct something
I meant to say that the dr. said I had scoliosis...NOT multiple sclerosis....
