Tummy Tuck Procedure: Creepy - Boston

I agree, good for you for posting that. :)

Hi MicheleinJersey- I have not posted in quite a while either, you and I used to chat. I am so sorry to hear that. I am very happy with my results too, glad i did it. It will be a year October 15th already. I would love to something else (for me of course, but to expensive!) hang in there.

My husband was against it as well, he was afraid I would die in surgery. Now that its all said and done, he is fine but thinks the scar is nasty. He said my stomach looked better before. No way, not to me it didn't. I'm not crazy about having a scar either BUT, it's not faded yet either. I had my surgery 4 months ago and I know it's going to take a lot longer. My sister had it done years ago and you can barely see her scar now. It's not like you are having your face done, THAT would be a difference in your looks, not a tummy tuck. I am so happy I did it, my stomach looks sooo much better. What is wrong with these men that they can't be supportive. Just show him how many women are on this blog and how many have had it done. I was surprised myself. Has he ever seen any before/after pictures so he can know what to expect? I was at the point that every time I looked at my stomach it would make me cry, so I chose to fix it and get rid of being depressed! So my husband didn't have a say, it's my body and I don't regret what I did. Hopefully your husband will accept it too.

I'm totally fine with it being a little looser, just don't want it to get big again! I can't wait until I can start doing stomach excersises, but I know that won't be for at least another 3 months or so. January 15th will be my 3 month mark so I am hoping by March I can start working out somewhat normally. Thanks for all your advice and always responding, you are such a big help to me!

It is making me flake too. Also, my scar is still a dark purplish color, doesn't seem to be fading much, i'm starting to get a little ansy about it. And my daughter said my upper stomach doesn't look as tight as it did. Did your stomach losen up a bit too?
