After an over 100lb weight loss through hard a$$ work and not gastric bypass, then two pregnancies my tummy was a floppy mess of skin. Had full tummy tuck with muscle repair on Nov 7, 2012. Waiting for swelling to bugger off but happy thus far with how it all looks!!! Of course it hurt a bit but so did hating how I looked every single day!

November 29th -- 3 weeks and 1 day post-op. Other than what I call my 'dough roll" above my incision (not seroma, just normal swelling) I am beyond thrilled. I have zero pain other than muscle soreness from time to time. My walking is incredibly slow which frustrates me but hey, I'll deal with it. Had a great post-op visit yesterday. Am bandage-free and incision-free and am allowed to ditch the awful compression garment next week. I have mixed feelings about that but I think that is pretty normal. My doc said I'm healing exactly as expected and she's happy with that. Yay!!
I have to also note that the aftercare doctor who works with Dr Bergeret-Galley is AMAZING (but in my brain fog, I can't remember his name). He's actually had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and total "gets"what you are going through physically and emotionally which is a huge help for me.
Have planned a beach vacation for May. Hoping my swelling is less substantial by then lol.

So tomorrow is 4 weeks post-op! Wow time flies once the pain is gone. I'm still swollen and the lower belly above te incision is rock hard still. I can fit pre-op jeans but by late afternoon they start to hurt. I get scared sometimes because everything you do involves the ab muscles in some capacity. Getting in/out of the car, rolling over in my sleep, etc. Is this fear normal?!?
Provider Review
In more ways than one, Dr Bergeret-Galley has set me down a path to starting my life over. I did most of the work but needed her to help me close the chapter on being depressed, self-conscious and insecure.
