Hello! It took years and lots of help to have my second child, and I just could not get the weight off! I went to a nutritionist two years ago and lost 45 lbs! I am 5'5" and weigh 145 lbs. I have completely changed the way that I eat and I've kept the weight off. I work out frequently. I am happy with my weight, but I just couldn't lose the mom gut! I'm so close to having my figure back. So it's time to do this for me. I thought about having a full tummy tuck, but honestly, I couldn't imagine spending that kind of money or having the time to fully recover from something like that. I'm not perfect and I don't need to be. I'd like to fit better in clothes, wear skimpy underwear without bulging over it, and overall not look slightly pregnant if I don't wear shapewear.

dont wish to be rude but I would like to ask if you would take a pic with out blocking your [RS bleep] I have the issue of the belly about the same as you and would like to see if it brings your [RS bleep] back up the front as mine has gone down between my legs as to say over the years and would just like to see if it pulls it back were it should be well let me know or send one to me at dvgl@optusnet.com.au

What's the difference in cost between a full TT and a mini TT ? I'm assuming you're in the USA?

Second day post-op -- the big reveal!
KODlbo6November 23, 2015
I took it easy yesterday! I left both compression garments in place and moved as little as possible. This morning, I removed the pads and showered. I couldn't get all of the marker lines off! Well, the mom skin flap is gone! As for the swelling, it doesn't look as bad as I thought, and I don't see any bruising. I'm moving around normally today, just a little slower than usual.

Thanks for sharing....What is the difference with this and a TT? Also was it really painful?
November 27, 2015
My understanding is that a full TT would involve Lipo in the upper abdominal area, work on the abdominal muscles, and surgical repositioning of the belly button. Higher cost, longer recovery time, but you get the "perfect" flat tummy look. I think you also need a drain with a full TT - I do not need one. The only time the surgery was painful was when the meds wore off in the middle. After the next round kicked in, it was fine. The worst of the pain was the day after surgery - I had trouble walking around and getting in or out of chairs. The next day I was able to drive a little and walk around a little. The following day I drove myself to my followup appointment and the day after that I was back at work. Today I'm only feeling slight pain at the incision site when I move and swelling around the area. Check out full TT reviews on this site - I don't see any of them back at work in a few days.

My son kicked me - had pain and spasms last night
KODlbo6November 27, 2015
So last night, I was in my recliner on our sectional and my son got angry with me (for telling him to get off the furniture) and kicked me on my incision on the right side. Agonizing pain! I took a painkiller and it helped; but I still had spasms all night. This morning, I look more swollen all over. I don't see a difference where he kicked me. I took a huge ibuprofen and it really helped. I've decided to switch to ibuprofen from now on to help with swelling.
Thank you for joining us. You are looking good and will continue to heal for a while. Swelling take a bit to go down so be patient with yourself. Please update us often so we can see the final results.
