3 weeks out

I'm wearing Spanx everyday for 12 hours. Starting to feel sensations in the tummy region. The nerve are starting to come back. Yesterday morning it started just after I put on the Spanx. I thought the was a bug in my garment so I stripped it off faster than anything. There I was at 3:30 am naked as a J bird searching for a bug in my suit. Then the sensation happened again and I figured it out.
Yesterd was three weeks and I felt better than I have since the surgery.
I have lost the outside stery strip but the center one hold on tight. And hair is growing. That is going to leave a mark if I have to pull them off. Ouch!
Started excersizing my arms with light free weight. 5 months until my first 5K so I want to get started on something.
if you are reading this and wondering if you should tummy tuck it was worth the pain. The picture you see on website of the good results are just what it looks like. 3 weeks has a little swelling but nice smooth belly . On we go.

2 weeks post surgery

Lost the post surgery garment and got a Spanx. starting to feel more mobile and normal. Still tired at night. My job is ordinarily desk work so I went back to work at 12 days. If had known it would be such a challenge due to tiredness I probably would have stayed out 2 weeks. If you can take the time take 2 weeks off post surgery.
Also wear loose fitting clothes to work. Jeans and dress slacks with straight grain belt lines iritate your mid section. danskins make great slack type workout pants. In black no one knows they aren't dress slacks. hope this helps.

This year I turned 60 and my body decided to bring to my attention the misuses I had done to it. I started exercising but every time I look in the mirror I couldn't see the weight loss because my belly still have those ugly rolls. So to get rid of that obstacle I had a abdominoplasty at Naficy Rejuvenation Center in Bellevue Washington. I checked out several plastic surgery companies including the nationally advertised one with the pretty jingle. I give my highest recommendation to this Naficy Rejuvenation Center. the staff is professional, knowledgeable and supportive.
I had such peace of mind knowing that they were there to support me. Even the doctor was there after hours by phone when my daughter have a question. you could not possibly find a better organization. they are the best.
