I've been grappling with this for over a year now and just can't help but feel that my BB is too high post my TT. Is it just me? Am I being overly critical? I keep comparing myself to others, from print models to friends to strangers in bikinis. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm even more concerned because my PS moved his practice to France...will I be even able to find a PS who would consult with me and revise it? Help and thank you kindly in advance!

Dear Melisha05,
When you have major surgery like you did, the body hangs on to fluid and salt and it is very normal for you to have swelling throughout your body. You may likely even weigh more right now than you did postop. That will gradually correct itself.
Hot flashes are not a typical complication after Tummy Tuck surgery and may not be related. I suggest speaking with your surgeon about this issue as he may be able to determine the cause for your hot flashes
Interesting question. It is definitely possible for hair to fall out after any kind of stress including surgery. The cause of this type of alopecia is unknown. In fact the causes for most alopecia is unknown but stress probably has a significant role. I have had only one case in over twenty five...
