WORTH IT$8,700
Sorry for a long awaited update. Things have been busy- started back to the gym this week. It felt great, even if all I am doing I light weights and walking. I did sneak in a few on the elliptical- but not fast. I am adding new pictures- not a lot of changing going on. Having a lot of swelling- but I think it's cause my body is adjusting to working out again. I will be glad when I can really go at. Have a great day:)

You look really good! I had my tt on the 29th of March too.
Thank You- You look fabulous. I will be happy when this swelling stops and I can really see what I have to work with now. I am really trying not to over do it- but its so hard now that I feel good. My doctor told me I can start riding my bike at 4weeks so hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get some miles in. I used to ride 26-30 miles at a time, hopefully I can do at least half of that starting back....LOL
Did you wear a binder? Excellent result!
Oh, I see you did have a binder...did he do lipo?
Yes, I did wear a binder. I am wearing a compression garment during the day now, and my binder during the night.(it is just comfortable to wear at night) No i had no lipo done- just the tummy tuck and muscle repair.
You look awesome!
Nikki- You look GREAT girl:) I am swelling bad in the evening too- I will be glad when that is a thing of the past. I have had it so bad that I look three to four months pregnant. The last app. I had, he looked at me and said- I have never seen any of my patients swell like this. Well now he has....LOL Hope you stop swelling soon:)
I was looking bloated at one point and he said it was maybe all the rice I was eating. I haven't been back to the gym yet though. Can't wait for the swelling to be gone too! I'm still sore in my back though from the lipo. Hopefully it will be gone soon.
You look great!!!! Just take it easy at the gym...kudos to you ...I am still procrastinating .....

Ok so after the other day- which was bad. I can say I feel much better. I went outside yesterday and enjoyed the sun, I even went fishing in my ponds. Most may not enjoy that but- it was so nice to just walk around in the sun and relax. I have an appointment today, maybe the drains will come out- either way they are not bothering me. I took a picture last night after being up all day and to my surprise I didn't have a lot of swelling. Hopefully this is the turn I needed. I dread to have another day like Saturday. Happy healing Ty sisters:)

P.s. I have to share the bass picture I caught- I had to call my bf and he came and reeled it in for me;)

Thank you all for the positive thoughts- I am thankful for you all!!!! Have a wonderful day:)
Glad you seem to be doing better today! :). How long do drains stay in? And do they hurt? That's what I'm scared of!!!!!! Lol!
Drains stay in from 3 days to 3 weeks, depending on how much fluid they are taking in. They don't hurt, but are bothersome. But, still worth doing it.
Thanks for replying back to me! :)
I've had 7 friends that had tummy tucks. They told me today... To be sure and take a pain pill before getting the drains out. Because they said it HURT like HECK!!! (Now, Maybe... On some people it don't hurt... But, I'm not going to chance it after I get my TT! LOL!)
Love the bass pic! You look so happy! Congrats and keep on healing!
How fun! I am a total girly girl, city girl but have to admit I love to fish...the kind of fishing that someone else puts a worm on the hook (poor wormie) and I throw my line in and wait quietly for a fish to bite it then I get to reel it in and my husband can take it off the hook and throw it back so it can continue to live its lil fishy life ;)....anyways what I really wanted to say is you look great and I'm so happy for you!!!!
I'm scheduled to take mine out tomorrow. How does it feel not having it in? Is it a relief?
I really didn't mind them in but- yes it's nice not having to worry about them. I can wear my pants without worrying about them.
Yay! Congratulations on no drains!!!
