Dec 2 2012... I just want to let anyone know who's thinking of getting a TT to do it, I love my new tummy and it's so nice not to have my fat flap sitting on my upper thighs. I will try and get another pic up, but I'm around 4 inches smaller in the waist and 4 in half in the hip area and loving my new tummy, I walk around naked and don't feel like I have to hide when the man is around, before the surgery I never would of felt like walking around in my Birthday suit.

Dang you look great. What an inspiration. I hear you on the walking around and letting my husband see me. I am only 9 days out but yesterday is the first day since BK, before kids that I didn't cringe letting my husband look at me!! So nice and liberating!

That is great! It is now almost 3 years since you did this review. Do you have new updated pictures to share? How did it go the rest of that year?

Everything went wonderful, I started my own business, which is doing good. My father passed away in September of 2015, since my surgery, him and I grew even closer, we spent a TON of time together, which was priceless... I'm up to 172lbs, but my belly still looks fabulous. My husband still gives me compliments and besides my dad passing, my life couldn't be better. I just went shopping at Kohls and I bought 1 size 12 and 2 sizes of 14 jeans. My son is doing great, graduated with his bachelors degree and landed a BIG job. I haven't posted any pictures but I will try and see if I can talk my husband into snapping a few. He didn't like the idea of us posting the pics but he did it to help others.

31 DPO and loving my new belly, so is my fiance, my newer lokin cha cha isn't so bad either. I went to the doctors today and weighed in at 168.2lbs.. I have a little leaking going on, but he said thats fine and should go away within another week or two, he said it's ok to go bike riding again, he said it should help the extra fluid to escape sooner, so we will be going on my first bike ride since the surgery, my waist is at 41inches, hips 42in a half. Before my surgery my waist was at 47 to 48inches and hips around 46-47inches. So I'm VERY happy with how I'm feeling after the 1st week of work, I'm glad it was a short week. Looking forward to losing more weight and I will be getting my chin done in about 7 months. I'm very excited about that. Happy Healing to all of you.

O my goodness, I just stepped on the scale and I'm down to 167. WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!! I never would have thought I would have lost at least 18lbs in 3 weeks. What a way to start the weekend off, I do have to say that I've changed my lifestyle with changing my eating habits and drinking habits, I started changing around 6 months ago and the Tummy Tuck has just made my dreams come true and I look forward to the next 11 months, to see the payoffs become more evident. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Hi Newtummy4me. 4 days post op. When will I not feel lightheaded? I'm sure it's the anesthesia. Can't wait for that crap to be out of my system. Trying to do a bit more each day but it's exhausting! I'm not really sleepy tired just drained. I'm not allowed to shower yet so I do my best but just the thought of showering exhausts me. I guess it takes time to build back your energy and to feel "normal". This compression garment is also starting to get to me. Movement overall is pretty good for the most part. Going to doc in the am. Hope your feeling good!

Im doing good.I was able to shower after 2days but I know each doc is different. The compression garment will end up being your friend but get another one thats universal and has the fluff in it,not only is it wider but it gives you more comfort. Its one hell of a rollercoaster,but each day you will get better. Try to rest and do as little as possible for the 1st 2 weeks. Happy healing Lulee
