Liposuction: Stories

Daisy I saw your after pic and your upper abs looks better than mine and you did have a TT, didn't you? My problem is not loose skin but I still could pinch my skin with like 3 inches fat under the skin. You look fantastic. I think you have a great result. Congratulations!

Hi Daisy! Yes I lost the extra 5lb I gained from surgery and know I am back to my original weight before surgey, haven't lost any pound though :(. I had a mini TT for lower ab only. I had a little pouch above my C section scar and my PS removed some skin there and tightened my lower ab muscle. My TT heals a lot slower than the lipo. I am still having a good amount of pain from the TT. How is your sister doing after almost 3 months, does she have good result? I have not post any new pics as I am still swollen and not much diference with before surgery picture. Do you think it is normal that at 6 weeks PO I haven't lost any weight and not seeing much result yet eventhoug my PS told me he removed almost 4 liters?

Fat is volume... so we dont expect to loose lbs after surgery. We loose lbs because we are eating cleaner and exercising, right? My sister is doing good. For some reason she cant walk straight... idk if its because she feels she is going to pull stitches or what? pain wise she still is, she tires easily but she looks amazing! super tight skin and no fat! i am so jealous... but i love her! and happy for her... it helped her with her self esteem too. I know six weeks for you is a LONG time, but when it comes to this type of surgery, thats just the beginning... Sadly you will look worse before you look better. I dont want to sound mean but it also happened to me and to a lot of others on this site. I am exactly 15 weeks today since I had my surgery September 28th 2012 and I still swell. Have I lost weight? yes! but I lost it because I started eating cleaner that ever before and exercise at least three times a week, cardio and free weights. I do wear CG all day, I only remove when I go to bed. Sometimes I do wear it at night just because I love the way I look and feel when removed in the morning. Do you wear yours still? Remember to take pics just for your records, it really helps a lot.

Hi Daisy thanks for your encouragement. So I am 2 months behind you, mine was on Nov 28, 2012. Yes I do wear my CG. Sure, I will take more pictures and post them.

I have not done excercise as much as before surgery because of the TT still give me a lot of pain when I do weight lifting or any vigorous exercise. Have your sister done any exercise after the TT?

Taxi, my sister is back to gym. She's hard core. We don't work out together often. She does weight training and spinning classes. She says she's ok. No pain. You asked about a good cg, I wear Marena stage two. Google it. It's like $85 but its good compression.

Thanks so much for your support MuffinLess. Yes, this site is GREAT. I will post some pics soon.

Taxi, Best of the luck to your procedure. It looks that you are going to look very goo. It sounds interesting the small tummy tuck procedure. I have never heard of that. As Sharon said, take a lot of pictures so you can compere before/after..My doctor told me that it is easy to forget how we were before.

Thank you Edelweiss. I agree, I have not read any post of the small tummy tuck procedure like mine. My lower ab skin is a bit loose but my ab muscle seem still tight enough. My PS will see and decide on the surgery if he needs to tighten my ab muscle or not after open up my lower ab.
