I am a mother of 2 children and decided to get a tummy tuck when I decided I was done having kids. I had lost 50 lbs after giving birth to my last child but still had sagging skin, I had a full TT with MR and have been heling well so far besides a small seroma I had for 8 weeks above my BB but that has been drained and resolved. I am happy with my results this far but at 9 week s dtill feel very swolen, I hope to see my full results soon.

Feeling a little down, I am 11 weeks post op today and hate the way I look when I sit. I really hope its swelling cuz after a full TT and MR I expected better results :( New pics posted to show you what I mean.

You're looking awesome! Yes, the swelling can seem to go on and on. That's totally normal. If you get a chance, check out Kimmers' Month by Month Tummy Tuck Diary. I've also started a Facebook page called Moms Who Want Their Bodies Back where we talk about tummy tucks, healthy recipes, and exercise. Come Like us if you're on FB! :)

Thanks so much for posting your story and photos here on RealSelf. You look like a real success story. Hope the swelling subsides soon!

Thanks for the encouragement, I really need some becuase I am having issues with the way I look sitting down. I look like i did pre surgery :( and am getting depressed about it. I hope its just swelling and can expecta better result at 6 months.

Hello I hear you on the swollen part I am six weeks post op tomorrow and I came back to work last Monday and man I feel it. I also had lots of stretch marks like you. I posted my five week pic and I have these pink lines around my belly button. My surgeon said they will go away. Anyway you look great. How was your belly button at six weeks?

Looking good! I have a feeling being short has something to do with the swelling thing. I am 6 weeks post-op and my husband is sick of hearing about it already! I know I have to be patient, and be happy once that is gone, but untill then, rrrrrrr, frustrating!!!

OH the swelling. I swell literally from bottom rib cage to the who-ha. It is so strange. I am trying not to complain about it because of all the other complications I have had, but still, it is pretty annoying. And on top of it I can't fit in ANY pants. Only stretchy ones. Can't wait to be in jeans... Dare to dream

Are you still wearing a compression garment or your binder? This is what I'm worried about. I am just about 8 weeks post op and I don't like what I look like when I don't have the compression garment on. I feel for you and can definately relate.
