Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. Could you please post current pics of your tummy, scar and belly button? I am scheduling my Tummy Tuck with Dr. Griffiths for early January! I'd appreciate your pics! Take care-

3 1/2 weeks PO

Quick update. Started back to work at the 2 week mark. My doctor of course advised taking the full 4 weeks. For me it felt much better getting up and being productive. It's definetly been a little rough and exhausting. Scars are looking good still have a little scab left at my old belly button. I still have been extremely swollen mostly at the incision sight. I know it's expected and still have many many months before it's gone. Feeling discouraged I put on a bikini took a photo and the pictures tell all. So excited to get back to my work outs. I'm thinking next week I'll start on the treadmill maybe get a little sweat going on.

10 days PO

Today was a great day. Got by on one Tylenol throughout the day. First day of putting on real clothes and a little makeup. Went and had a haircut which was very needed. Stopped into the grocery store for a few items. Moving around pretty well. I am amazed at how hard it was to drive. Sore top but not painful. I was out for almost 3hrs. Excited to get home put on sweats and relax. Later on went to PTC with hubby. Still feeling great I thought it would be ok to make cookies with my youngest(10). He did it all I was just more supervising. No napping today so I thought I'd get a good nights rest. Insomnia is here. I may have dozed off for an hour off and on but wide awake. Can't seem to get comfy. 2nd night in bed but, even in recliner I'd had sleepless nights. I had also been napping on off throughout the day as well. So what to do??? N
