After weighing 400 lbs in 2010, I reached my limit and had the gastric sleeve surgery. I lost 130 lbs and have plateaued over the last 2 years. I hated the way I looked in the mirror and no matter how much I exercised my big stomach and thighs still would not reduce. I am 2 days post op from a tummy tuck and an inner thigh lift. The pain has been terrible but I am hoping to feel better in a few days.

4 Days Post Up Tummy Tuck and Inner Thigh Lift
4 days post op and still in pain. My back is killing me from only sleeping in one position. Using the bathroom has been so hard. Trying to sit down and pee and then get back up sucks all of my energy. Haven't pooped since Tuesday, the day of surgery and barely have any appetite. Not being able to shower or wear underwear has not been fun. 4 more days to go until I can shower. I can't wait.

Hope you feel better! And kudos to your weight loss and taking action. What is your main goal from the TT?

Thanks for the encouragement. Main goal of the tummy tuck was to not see all of the excess fat. No matter what exercise I did it was always there. Didnt want to look in the mirror and see my old self staring back anymore. Want to be able to go on amusement park rides with my son and not worry if I am going to fit.

The bathroom has been the worst part and the stitches near the groin. I cant wait to take a shower. I hope you are healing well too.

8 Days Post Op - Shower Day
So excited to finally take a shower and see some results. It has been so hard mentally on the recovery process not to be able to shower or use the bathroom without help. Feeling hopefully about getting some independence back.
