Hanging skin after 3 pregnancies and Weight Loss Surgery

I had my surgery Monday and am pretty sore still but am amazing even with all the swelling how much smaller my mid section is! Dr. Behmand removed 5.9 pounds of tissue from my stomach and another 4 pounds with lipo from my back and flanks. I passed out a few times at the surgery center. The first time I got up to pee I passed out on the toilet! The nurses there are wonderful and never let me fall, they called the Dr. and he came right over to check on me. I was very impressed by how attentive and caring he was and how well they all worked together. Once my garments were loosened the passing out stopped. I am able to get up and down on my own now but it does hurt like hell. Cant wait to feel 100 percent!

Feeling a lot less pain but super constipated. Im afraid yo even try and push hard and pull internal stitches. How easily do those bad boys pop?

I am two weeks and one day out from my TT. I had a follow up with Dr.Behmand and he replaced the tape on my incision and packed my belly button and placed a new bandage on it. I am still pretty swollen but moving around well and wear my compression garment 24/7. Cant wait to be at 6 weeks out and able to DANCE!!! Im dying to hit the club!

Feeling even better. Lipo still hurts like hell and Im pretty swollen, more so in the evenings though. Already down to a 4 or 6 from my 9 or 11s since the TT

So I am 5 weeks out today and feeling pretty good. Loving the results. I am tired of the binder and cant wait till I don't have to wear it all the time. I am still very very swollen from my belly button to the incision.

I am now a little over a year out from my tummy tuck and love it more than ever. I had my tummy tuck at 159, was 149 after and 135 today. Love my new shape more than words can say. Doing my breasts in December!
Great review?

I loved his before and afters. Office staff were wonderful on the phone when i called for the first time and even better in person. He is just an all around great guy, not cocky like a lot of surgeons but still aggresive in his approach and results. He is a God without a God complex..... Love this man... And he's kinda handsome.... I mean that's always a plus, right?

Hello, I know you haven't posted in a while but I am thinking of using this Dr. I would LOVE it if you would give us an update. I'd love to hear how your recovery was and see what your scar and results are looking like now. I am also thinking of doing tummy and lipo, then doing breasts later, so I'd love to hear how the breasts turned out too. I think you look fantastic so far. How tall are you by the way? Thanks!

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary that's awesome! Hope you update your current results soon. It would give us girls who are weeks, months out something to look forward to on how great we will look in one year. :)
