Hello, I had my full tummy tuck done Fridayyay!!! After waiting for so long I finally got it done :)
I love Dr Bancroft and his staff, they are amazing and make the patient feel safe and confident about the procedure. I feel amazing already, there is almost no pain at all! Which was one of my biggest worries, since I read stories about other women and how now the pain is, well I have been doing great and I have a wonderful husband who has been taking care of me since day 1! I also have my sister in law stay with me and she is amazing I love her. I’ve been eating soups and bland foods and slowly introducing chicken along with my soup, I found that after having a tummy tuck you really have no space to eat much food lol! I got the internal corset tummy tuck which I can already see looks great! I will finally wear a bikini soon! I am so I love with the work Dr Bancroft did on me, I am forever greatful. He came to my house the day after the surgery and changed my bandages and I say my tummy for the first time and let me tell you...I was totally amazed by it! And i still can’t believe it’s finally done!! Thanks Dr Bancroft I love you so much!!! I will highly recommend him to anyone thinking of getting this procedure done, he takes his time and he likes to get an excellent if not perfect outcome, which is what I like about him, he focuses on one patient at a time and I truly appreciate that! Here is a picture of my belt Belford and one of the skin he removed! I couldn’t believe how much loose skin I had

Yesterday was my one week post op appointment, Dr Bancroft was very enthusiastic as always, and he explained to us what to expect in the next days. He took of my binder and omg I was so impressed by what i saw in the mirror! He is so amazing! I am loving my new shape and I’m still swollen, I can’t wait to see it get better each day. :)

I’m feeling great, I got into a medium size garment, Dr Bancroft said everything looked great, I will be back to see him in 2 weeks. I am so excited to see my body changing everyday, the swelling feels like it’s getting better as well. I’m off meds and driving already! The scar looks like it’s not so bad either, I like the way he did it, I told him I wanted my pubic area to look flatter lol and he did a great job!

Forgot to add these pictures for my 2 week update, I love how my back is looking too, I lost some weight already, Dr Bancroft explained that since the muscles amare so tight now they put pressure on the stomach making us feel full faster, and it’s true, I hope I continue to be like this lol I’m eating less now because i feel so full so quick

I know it’s too early to be trying this on, I’m still swollen, but I just couldn’t help it! I haven’t worn a bikini since I was 24 before I had my first baby, after having my baby I lost the weight but I wasn’t confident enough to wear bikinis anymore, I think I look way better now than when I was in my younger childless years! I am going to Hawaii for my birthday next year, and I can not wait to finally walk on a beach without covering up my body :)

I am still swollen, i think my boobs look way bigger now than before lol I want a breast reduction but i would hate those scars they make and my husband seems to get sad when I mention it lol, I don’t know how long it takes for the swelling to go away, but I love my results, my scar is healing fast, and my belly button is looking great too. I am definitely getting a tattoo next year to cover up the scar :) but it looks like it’s going to fade and not be very visible, so I guess we’ll see! I have my next appointment tomorrow, and I will get a new garment, right now I’m into a small which was really hard to put on, my husband had to help me put it on and now I can do it by myself. Dr Bancroft said he’s giving me a different faja, supposedly a Colombian faja, I hope it’s not too tight :/ overall I am doing really good! I have some mild pain in the muscles in the morning so I started taking half of a pain pill at night and the other half in the morning and it’s helped a lot. Other than that it has been a very easy recovery, Dr Bancroft really knows how to do tummy tucks! I can’t say enough words to describe how great of a doctor he is, I’m very happy and satisfied with the service and treatment i get every time we go to his office.

I’ve gotten rid of my one piece bathing suits lol I only kept my two piece bikinis that I’ve never even worn, I was always so self conscious about my deformed belly! Now all I think about is the trip I booked to celebrate my birthday in Hawaii! I can’t wait to go to the beach! I’m still swollen now but little by little I know it’ll go away. I’ve been feeling great and have had no issues at all, I once thought I had a problem with my belly button but it was nothing, and Dr Bancroft was so nice, he told me if it was something that was making me nervous or feel pain, I could go see him the next day early in the morning before his surgery for that day, so I went and he was so understanding and nice, it ended up just being a stitch that was supposed to dissolve on it’s own but somehow it didn’t , but he made sure I was fine and said if anything else was bothering to just call him and he would he what we could work out, he’s the best!

It’s been almost 5 months since my tummy tuck and I feel great! The scar is healing good, I still have no feeling on the area below the belly button but I really don’t care, my pubic area looks better now too, it used to look puffy since I had lipo a few years ago but now I can wear my pants without fearing I may have a huge camel toe lol
