* can finally stand up straight - but it's still really tight and somewhat difficult to do. Feels like the skin is stretching at the incision but I've been assured that it won't split open.
* no issues sleeping now.
* the skin below my belly button is still crinkly (twin skin) which is definitely a disappointment. I was hoping all that would be gone. However I'm still happy with the results because my stomach is much flatter than before.
* my stomach is still very swollen. It's numb, hard, swollen, and still sore.
* I'm back to my pre surgery weight. Had gained 7 lbs after surgery.

You will feel tight for a while!! Tight with a tummy tuck is a good thing.
Start massaging your tummy using a firm circular motion. Use the Palmer's Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil or Bio Oil. Follow this routine a couple times a day for a few weeks and you will notice the difference.
thnx I've been doing the massages but not twice a day. Will start doing that.
I also had twins and I cannot wait too get rid of my twin skin
Blaccberrie - I tried so many different things before having surgery and nothing worked. Finally did it! Can't wait for a few months down the road!!
