WORTH IT
So I've been on here for awhile unsure whether or not I was going to write a review or not. I've talked to several ladies and read,read,read postings and looked at pictures. I've wanted a tummy tuck for the longest time but was afraid of pain. Went to Dr. Shatkin and he is awesome. I am 5 days post op. Still very swollen but all part of the process I suppose ..

Hi..I'm doing a lot better. Trying to rest but it is hard with my two year old who thinks he is in charge ;) he wants to be held and has started crying a lot. Ugh..
You mentioned protein..what exactly should be eating/drinking for that? I don't think I am having enough, and bromolein supplement??? Does that really help with swelling?

Itchiness...driving me crazy
brileke96July 6, 2016
Hi girls..6 day post op and my stomach at the top hurst the most..I feel so swollen..I'm trying to be positive, but I keep wondering if this was really worth it..my 2 year old is driving me crazy and i feel bad I can't do much with him..we like watch tv play on iPad..and my other children he doesn't want..even when his father comes home he wants really nothing to do with him..ideas???
My drains came out sooner than I expected but it was wonderful..it didn't hurt as much as I thought..it was more like a pull and then relief.my biggest complaint is the itchiness by my stitches near my hip...driving me insane. Any ideas for that ?
Posting a few more pictures of before..I guess i do look so much better now the. Before :)

Annoyed that I see fat under breast area..I could have sworn he said he would do Lipo..ugh I guess I just expected more with all this pain and uncomfortableness..I know I keep saying that but some of you gals have had awesome results..I don't see it in mine..I mean I do, but am I being too picky???

No, you are only 6 days post! you are swollen and wont see true results for a few months... I bet as time goes by, you'll see that area shrink. There is such a difference!! you should be so happy!

I agree it is swelling. I know clothes are snug on my waist that shouldn't be... it is Swelling... My TT makes me look flat but swelling has increasing waist size. You look great. Try to relax. Maybe this article will help. It gave me perspective http://tummy-tuck-abdominoplasty.com/best-tummy-tuck-results/
