It's been a year since I had my tummy tuck and I am do happy I did this. It took almost 9 months before I never saw another day of swelling. I feel totally normal like nothing ever happened. My weight fluctuated through out the year but I am finally at my normal weight. I currently weigh 170 pounds and wear size 12-13 pants. I am so happy I did this and would recommend it to anyone. I do think maybe I wasn't the best candidate for the fluer de lis because I really do believe I could have achieved the same result from just a normal tuck. All on all life is good and I am very happy :)

*PO 3 Months*
Hey all, So its been 3 months since my surgery. Overall I am very happy I did this. I will be having scar revision on my verticle scar as it has healed and looks very wide. My tummy is flat as a board though and I look so much better in clothes than I ever thought I could. I do have 15 more pounds to lose until I reach my goal of 165. I have been able to do everything that I did pre tummu tuck even crunches and sit ups :) I hope you ladies are healing well and check out my new pics.

*7 weeks Post-OP
I feel totally normal again. I can do everything except abdominal workouts. Sleeping on my side stomach or in any position is comfortable. I have complete feeling everywhere and I am so happy with my results. I am currently doing my silocone scar stip treatment on my verticle scar only because that is the one that shows. My horizantal scar is flat and very thin and I am very happy with it. I will be having a revision just so my PS can take out more skin from my hip area plus I have a little dog ear. All in all I am very happy with the outcome. I have dropped a dress size *whew* I was so worried when just a week ago my pre-op pants were too small and now they are too big. Thank you for all the support through my journey. Its not quite over yet, but it has been much appreciated. I posted new pics too :)
