After having 2 kids I gained 65 to 70 lbs each pregnancy, but lost my weigh through working out and watching what i eat. I've been working out continuously for 2 years and is in really good shape. I'm 5'1 weighed between 112-114lbs, I was always getting frustrated because I worked out so hard watch what I ate and my stomach was still flabby,stretched,had stretched marks. I turned 30 this year and my husband supported me on getting tummy tuck.

I am 3 weeks out of surgery and I am slowly seeing the result, I know it will take time. I've had up and downs throughout this 3 weeks. I am hoping that all the swelling will come down soon. My plastic surgeon was able to get rid of most of my stretch marks, not all because my stretch marks went way above my belly button,actually I still have quite a bit. I'm ok with the scar being hip to hip, i just hope that it will heal good and dont have keloid, also the other concern is the belly button,hope that it will not turn out to be a bad scar.

I'm in the same boat as you. I had mine 13 days ago and slowly I'm seeing results. So far I been doing house chores except for sweeping/moping or lifting laundry, and driving short trips. I recommend that you go to a herbal store and buy a tea to help with the swelling. Good luck.

Wow,you are already driving @13days?good for you. I guess I'm a baby with pain and honestly tried to wean myself off pain medications before I started driving,it was 24days before i drove. I had 6 drains because of my breast lift and exchange so those things are big pain in the butt,well thank you I will try to do the tea.

Hi Minis30,

Congratulations on your new tummy!

Doctors have posted lots of information on RealSelf about exercising after a tummy tuck.
