Almost Two Years Post Op Full TT.

Keep in mind I'm 10lbs heavier than I was on surgery day. Oops. :(

6.5 months post tt


4 months post op.

So I'm now just about four months post op. I had full tummy tuck with muscle repair, no lipo. Clearly I needed the lipo. I feel like my love handles are a huge eye sore now, and stick out abnormally far. I've lost 5 lbs since surgery, and still working to lose another 10-15ish, however I'm losing fat everywhere but my flanks!!!! SO annoying!! I need to go back to see the ps because I think both my ends need to be revised. One is sticking out a bit at the end, and the other is sinking inwards a bit. It's very minor, but enough to fix. I also have a bit of pudge that seems to be sitting right above my scar line. I'm thinking lipo is the answer to that problem, as well as my flank and lower back fat being addressed with lipo as well. I have a bump in my lower abdominal area. It looks like a small prego belly, and it feels like one. It's hard, not squishy. I mean obviously there is a layer of fat overtop, but overall it's firm. At my last post op appt, the dr. said it's swelling still from a thick layer of stitches laying underneath the skin. I hope he's being honest and not just blowing me off. I feel like the dr. is much less willing to talk about anything now that the surgery is over. Both my last two appt's have felt very rushed. He wasn't overly helpful, and both were less than 4 minutes with him. He wasn't rude, I just felt like he was done with me since he'd already been paid.

Overall so far, I'm still happy with my decision. I'm WAY more confident. Shopping for clothes is so easy, and fun! Picking out clothes in the morning is fast...lol. My new tummy was sooo worth the pain!! After I fix these love handles, I think I'll be all set.... for a while! lol :) Advice regarding lipo anyone?!?!?
