I would like to have a flat tummy, get rid of the skin flap I have been carrying around for 22+ years. I would also like to acquire an hourglass figure or something close to it. I have a roll of fat around my back that I would like to remove as well. I know this surgery will not fix all things but it will be great in addition to my work out schedule.

Surgery complete, let the healing begin

I had my surgery on Thursday March 28. The first day was busy. All I can remember is how sick I was. I was very uncomfortable due to the tummy tuck and the bbl. I ate 1 cracker and about 6 Oz of water & out it came. I did better if I ate & drank on my stomach. Walking around first then eating after I lied down. Everything was very tender but tolerable. I didn't have any narcotic pain medication. I used 800 MG of ibuprofen. I didn't have any drains. I couldn't get myself together enough to remember to take any pictures.

Saturday April 30, 2 days post op I took my first round of pictures after I had rebandaged. The 2nd set of pictures are 3 days post op after removing my bandages. I will post pics once I get to my computer.
