Thanks girls!

Hi missfixit! I just returned from my 3 days po appointment. I was shocked at how swollen I am!!! I know everyone on here comments about the misery of swell hell, but it is still shocking when it happens to you. I have planned on hanging inside until 2 weeks pass. If I can't get jeans on by week 3, I will be so depressed! Hang in there, you're not alone in your journey.

Hiya hun I am 11 days post op and very swollen too, but we have to see beyond the swelling and see the final result in weeks to come xx

Hey, I am 8 days po and Dr Robbins performed my surgery. you look great.I read your post about trying jeans on. i was dumb and tried on jeans yesterday and about cried so I totally feel you. How are liking your tummy tuck. How are you doing? I feel like I cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh dear! We are here, sorry you are felling bad. Too soon for jeans!! I was very swollen @ 1-2 weeks, deep breath and rest!

It gets really depressing. I thought I was a soldier and I had tears in my eyes whn my mom left me. The hormones are something else. but u can't b expecting results this soon, I am 38 days and this past Monday was my 1st day to wear regular work cloths. I had to ask my boss if I could wear my legging an yoga pants to work because it was too much on my waist and most of my cloths were too tight around my waist. I've been back to work since Jan 11. I am still swollen. U have to open ur mind to not have such high expectations too soon. It takes at least months for ur body to get the swelling under control. So sorry ur not feeling well, it will get better. The ladies here are like angels.

Please take care and be kind to yourself! I know I had lots of swelling in my thighs and rear from surgery. I thought I looked smaller bc my belly was flat, but I was super swollen and clothes didn't fit right with that plus compression. It will keep getting better :).

Hey there. Chin up. Soon you will be so thrilled with your results. I'm scheduled for my TT in 3 weeks. I too haven't heard much from the gals on here either, but that's okay I still enjoy reading everyone's stories. The ones who are right there by your side are the ones that matter the most. :-) Did you have gallbladder surgery? I had my gallbladder removed 18 years ago. They had to do the open surgery on me, so I was left with a pretty large scar on my tummy. This makes my TT a little more challenging, but my doc is confident that things will be fine. Try to stay positive my dear. I'm sure you have a lot of swelling right now. Give your body the time it needs to heal. I'm sure you will be looking great in those jeans in no time. ;-) Happy Healing to you!!!!

I hope your healing goes well! The swelling does NOT sound like fun...but remember you have to let your body heal from this. Soon enough you will bounce back and be in those jeans!! Keep up positive thoughts! We will cheer you on! :)
