Lookin good girl!  That is wonderful you are coming long so well..and quickly.  Thank you for the update and keep them coming.  Your swelling will take a while to go down and you will notice that is gets better and better each week.

Hang in there and keep us up to date.

I will post a new picture soon. It has been only three months and i look even better. Dr. Kirbo and his staff are truely wonderful. I had no pain (i think i took pain killers the first day only)swelling is still going down. I had a full tummy tuck and was back to work in 1 week (of course you will need to discuss that with your doc) I do need to go back in for some lipo tuch ups. Overall I would def do it all over again

Please do! This would help me out greatly! and if you have any pointers, that would help. OH and what touch ups??? Something wrong?

My pointers would be to drink plenty of water and get up and moving as soon as you can, even if it is just walking around your house, and also try and stand as straight as you can without pulling any stiches in moderation. Again talk to your doc about that. No nothing is wrong i had a large portion of mid section removed and once some swelling went down my doc can see his work better and just contour me better. I am very pleased with his work even if he didn't do touch ups.

Great! You have been very helpful and you make it sound not as bad as people make it. I'll know for sure if I am doing it tomorrow. I want to, but it depends on another doctor's opinion, but if everything is a go, I'm going ASAP!

Hey Kimber222. I see a huge difference in your back area. May I ask what kind of lipo the doc did on you. You really look great and reading your story makes me feel less nervous. (cuz you said you didnt take much painkillers and OMG you went back to work after a week ! Wow ) Hope your doing well :-)
