I posted earlier about how much pain and problems I was having. But I can say...belive me it will go away. Of course, there will always be those odd cases but I started feeling and looking normal within 3 months. I am now very happy with the results. It is a drastic surgery and you have to give your body a chance to recover. Just my two cents.
I am a 35 year old mom of four and am 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I had mini tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo of the upper and lower tummy, flanks and dorsal roll along with upper arm lipo on March 4, 2010. I, too, am very swollen in my upper belly and flanks. I am worried that my lower belly didn't get enough skin removed because it too is swollen and I don't see how it will be flat once the swelling goes down. Sometimes it looks as if I have a rubber band wrapped around my waist, almost like I have two bellys. Anytime I eat, I swell up like crazy. I am way bigger then I was before the surgery. I have never had a big stomach, just excess skin and a little belly fat. I am so worried that I am never going to have a figure again.
