Tummy Tuck: Stories

Hi everyone, I'm 37 years old with two children ages 9 and 12. Since I had my first child and an emergency c-section I've had this hanging loose skin on my tummy. The second baby was just as stubborn to come out into the world so I had a second c-section which made my tummy hang even more. More than a year ago I had a BBL and now FINALLY I get my TT, Lipo with MR!! I'm not looking forward to the pain and wearing that CG again but I'm tired of the loose belly squish. I've been reading all the reviews and I'm getting ready to purchase all the necessary products for this journey.

Busy day today. I went to my primary doctor for preop clearance, got labs done, EKG and prescription for chest x-ray. Also bought a new leather power recliner to recover in as well. I bought preop and postop vitamins, gauze, paper tape, scarguard, Palmer's skin therapy oil and protein bars. Wow what else do I need?

Yesterday I had my surgery. I arrived at the surgical center at 6:00 am and was taken in to sign the anesthesia consent and speak to the anesthesiologist. I was so scared and he made me feel at ease and told me some jokes to lighten the mood. Dr. M arrived and took some pictures, then it was off to surgery. My entire body was washed compression boots were applied and was placed on the OR table. The anesthesiologist gave me some Versed and off to sleep I went.

I woke up in the recovery are in a lot of pain, the nurse gave me some medicine for the pain and some juice because my mouth was super dry. My sister arrived, took me home and I walked to the house with the help of a walker. A walker is very helpful. I suggest renting one or borrow from a friend or family member. After a long time in the recliner, I tried to get up to walk and felt very dizzy and almost passed out. Make sure someone is with you the very first time you get up. I haven't been in much pain just very tight around my abdomen as if I was wearing a tight corset. Ther is very heavy leakage in the areas of lipo. All in all it was a good experience and I would do it again as my mid section is very small and flat.

I made it to the flat side ladies!!

TMI moment, but now my monthly visitor is here with added swelling. I feel like a stuffed sausage in this CG. UGH!!!!
