It will be a year in July since my TT I am so loving my new tummy!!! I still get swelling here and there.. did a lot of scare tissue work, salt is not my friend and still have some tightening if I do too much. The skin and muscles are loosing up and relaxing more as they heal scars are better too I have no complaints I love it and would do it again in a heartbeat. My surgeon is the best!! I'm so lucky to have picked him and his staff they were/are amazing!!!

You look great! I have barrel shaped swelling still at 6 weeks and waist is 2 inches more than pre-op and I was delighted to find your story to see how great you look now after also having swelling. May I ask what work you did for scar softening....I think I may need to do some too! Thanks again for updating almost a year later, it really helps.

Thank you! I think you look amazing!! You look as though you are healing beautifully :) yes, I still swell.. sometimes more then others. I use my compression wrap some nights cause the swelling can get pretty painful. My PS had me start massaging 2 times a day pretty early in my recovery and I still do same routine I think it also helps move fluid. As for the scar tissue I've been with a personal trainer who is amazing and has helped immensely with range of motion, swelling, diet and working intensely on my abs to keep them in place and firm. I'm so happy I could help! I also follow a few that had their surgery before me and all their advice is truly awesome!! I wish you all the best in your recovery just remember to be patient with your body and you really look great!!

So still swelling and after a long day shaped like a small barrel which is not my overall dream of the flat perfectness I'd imagined.. Then I spend the whole night worried that I've gained weight and it's back, that horrible belly I was plagued with for so long aaaahhh!! So far, I wake up and I'm not as poofy but seriously, swelling needs to be DONE!
