Lost 100lbs in since July 2014 and was diagnosed with MS 2 yrs ago. Surgery was Friday morning, so I'm day 3 post op- I prepared for the worst but have it really good right now. Not sure if it's normal to feel this good. No pain really- a little burning on the incision if I move wrong or my binder rides up. Just sore - my back sucks - but I've walked around the block today a few different times, been off pain meds since day 2. I was questioning if the ps did my abs as I really haven't had to walk too hunched over. I can pretty much stand straight up once I get up. But my abs are definitely done- awful to cough! Pics to come - haven't seen anything yet. So excited to see !

I also went to Dr. L and had a great and speedy recovering after my Mommy makeover- ppl could not believe how great I was doing just a few days out- I could have gone back to work with EASE AFTER just one week but for those damn drains- those were all taken out on day 12 and on day 13 I was back to work- he is the best!

Thanks for saying that- I really thought I was unusual and starting to doubt if I was crazy for feeling so good

I had a TT and liposuction by Dr. L on May 6th and just went for another follow up today. I commented to him how great I feel. I've had a couple of blah days, but overall it was a very good experience. Only need pain mess for a couple of days and I was also walking straight up very shortly after surgery. Coughing and sneezing are still difficult though! Happy healing!

Same here, I had my tummy tuck at 9am yesterday and by 7pm I was walking straight and felt no pain. Haven't had pain meds since, wondering whether they've actually done anything under this binder! The only pain I feel is from the drain inside where it keeps sucking the inside but it's coming out tomorrow. Glad you are doing well!

Feel like I've been hit by a bus today, guess the anaesthetic has worn off. Still not painful but aching and sore. Still worth it after seeing my flat tummy today. Wishing you well.

You look amazing. Results look great even with another 40 lbs off. Curious, how did you manage to not end up with excessive skin again after another 40?

I had my 1st post op appt today and it went well. I'm still in no pain, and am standing upright and walking around several blocks at a decent pace. They took out 1 drain today and the other one will come out on Tuesday. Binder back on incision and belly button look so great! Best thing I've ever done- can't wait until the swelling goes down and I see the end result.

What procedure did you have done? TT and what else?
May 29, 2015
TT and ab muscle repair- that's it. I opted out of Lipo.
