Hello everyone, i am having a tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks, back and thighs on March 29. I've only had one child and can't say he's to blame for my weight gain. My shape snapped back immediately after giving birth but in my late 20's I started picking up weight that I couldn't get rid of. I've done all the diets, exercise and have become more active but nothing has helped so far. So i'm glad this site is here not only for support but i'm glad to have people to relate to. My family is super supportive but I think they're more nervous than I am! Anyway I'll post before pics soon.

Not long until the big day, eh? ! I am booked on April 4. Cant wait to read more about your journey ! Just curious, what kinda lipo are you having done on your back? I am having tumescent lipo for my bra rolls and the doc said I may not get the greatest results because this area is quite fibrous back there. Also, will you be having the pain pump or pain medications afterwards?

I have to say the "tiring" out part is the worst. I tried to walk every couple of hours today. Where he made me a belly button really burns as does each end of the cut. I can tell a big difference. I am in a full girdle because he also did my inner thighs. I am not going to lie to you, I do not feel great, but I am so happy I did it. Hopefully my pics will show up tomorrow. I am really short 5"1 or 2" and I weighed 145. I am not flabby. I am going to have my outer thighs, back of my thighs, lats, and back lipod in a couple of months. I;ll stay in touch every day. Good luck!

I'm feeling pretty good day two was probably the worst but not really because of pain, it was because I could not get comfortable. Day 9 now and I feel fantastic, saw the doc on Friday and thought my weight would be way up because of swelling. Well I was actually down a pound and a half! So we shall see what happens when I go back on Monday. Tiring out part does suck but it gets better each day. My belly button is ok but my scar is starting to each badly.I had my back, bra rolls flanks and inner thighs lipo'd and of all my inner thighs where the worst. Very very sore and I cant tell a big difference yet. Can't wait to see your pics. Hope u are doing well!

I am wondering about appetite. Do you notice an increase or decrease in appetite?

I do not really care about eating.It seems I cannot eat as much as I used to. Dr. Luftman said I would feel fuller sooner, and I do. I have to say he is so good. He called this morning to check on me...and yesterday. Not a nurse, he calls himself. I know I keep saying it, but the belly button burns. I am going to try to sponge bath in a few minutes, but any little thing wears you out.
Did my pics show up? I cannot see them.

I see my doctor on Monday. My only complaint I guess you would say is, I am so tired. Are you? Usually, I am a person that goes nonstop, but I have absolutely no energy. Can't wait to see some pics.
