9 days after my revision and I feel kinda crappy about my results today. I swear I am much more swollen this time. I want to cry when I look at pics today vs. pics on day 14 last time. Ugh, I hope it improves.

Thanks for the review! Are you happy with everything now that you had some recovery time? Just curious if your hips and belly went down? Id love to see a current pic if you have some to put on your review.

I don't have any new ones. Sometime swollen, other times not. Just goes along with the territory for about a year. I wake up totally flat and by bed time I am swollen again. I don't think you can expect to be totally flat if you have some weight to lose. Don't get your expectations super high with where you are now unless you are at your goal weight or you will be disappointed. Surgeons can only do so much and you will be swollen especially in the areas where you have lipo. Good luck.

Wow! I must say that I love your results so far! I seem to have basically the same type of body structure as you do. I have dropped over 60 pounds and am still at 179. Thankfully my body packs my weight on evenly. So, really looking forward to getting my surgery done January 30th! Hope I look as good as you do when I come out of it!

Thank you so much for the compliment. You will feel so much better. I am actually having a revision this Friday that will require a full tt again. I have a lap band that is causing some problems and prohibited my surgeon from pulling my muscles together super tight. I am having the lapband removed at the same time as the tummy tuck. Sucks but will be worth it.

I hope that your surgery goes well! I haven't had any type of lap and surgery for my weight loss.....but I have heard that it can really help with the weight loss. My meds put the weight on me....and coming off most of them has really helped the weight problem. But I don't ever expect to be down to the size that my family dr would like me at. He it thrilled that I wil be loosing the fat roll....since it will decrease the chance of me getting diabetes ... It runs in my family. Keep me updated on how things go with this new round! Will look forward to seeing how you progress!

Lap band was the worst decision I have ever made. It has not helped in fact it hindered my weight loss. I could not eat anything like chicken or salad. Once I had the fluid drained and focused on eating healthy I dropped 20 lbs. I can't wait to get rid of that thing!! Good luck and keep me posted.

4 week mark tomorrow
I am feeling better everyday. I am ready to get back to Jillian michaels and turbo jam ASAP. I was down about 4 lbs post op and have probably gained being on the road for work. I have been eating fried food and lots of chocolate and beer. Super frustrating. Feeling pretty sexy even though my mid-section is still thick. I knew that would be the case. I was 170 when I went in and am 5'3. I'd like to get to about 145-150 and have some decent guns on me. I like toned and muscular not super thin on me.
