30 days . Wearing some clothes that I couldn't get into before. My pre-op weight was 225 pounds and my weight yesterday was 212. My main thing now is still a lot of tightness in my abdomen

But feeling good?

Feel good, just a lot of tightness... I feel like a frozen turkey that needs to thaw. Lol

You look great! I am wondering if the tightness is just our new normal and are going to have to get used to it!?!?

Hummmm.... I am hoping this is not the "feeling" I will have to have for the rest of my life. It's only been 30 days so I will stay hopeful and let time heal.

I'm sure it depends on many factors. I do not drink any soda products at all. I stay away from salt, starches, no breads and keep my compression garment on 23 hours out of the day. I've also noticed that I monitor my activity to not overdo it, so I'm not sure if those contribute or not. I do see swelling but not to the point where it concern me. Just trust the healing process and take care.

December 1, 2016… I have been concerned about how tight my abdomen has been feeling. I noticed yesterday when I woke up quite a noticeable relief. I'm just listening to my bodyand trusting in the process of healing.

Question about numbness after TT
I have a question for those who have done a tummy tuck. How long did you experience your numbness, or other tingly sensations after your surgery?

That is a great question. I have been wondering the same thing. When I put the scar oil on the scar, I actually feel it it either one or two inches either below or above the actual scar!, weird!

You're very courageous to have undergone the necessary surgery and it looks like it has been a huge success. I appreciate you've had some low times and setbacks in your recovery so far, but the good side is the results are fantastic. 60 no, 40 yes. I think you must be quite tall as you don't look anywhere near your stated weight, if not you're hiding it somewhere.
I am glad you had surgery for You and suspect the emotional benefits will be as much as the physical ones. You're a most humble, caring and accepting lady. I'm sure when a suitable man does come your way, possibly initially attracted by your physical aspect, he'll soon realise he's met up with someone who has a wonderful emotional/mental side to her.
I wish you well on your continued recovery and healing.
Thank you Miss 40, I comment as I see.
A short reply to your query would be that no I don't have excess skin.
A slightly longer and less curt response though is required. My build is a little different to what yours was before you lost a lot of weight, though my weight at my fittest was about the same as yours pre surgery. That was just before chemotherapy which sorted out the cancer but turned me, as my haematologist said, from athletic to emaciated. Do you know, oddly enough exercise is the best way to both help lose weight (fat) and to gain weight (muscle). Oh, it can also be good for just maintaining weight as well. Due to injuries and medical conditions I'm not able to exercise much so I'll look to stay slim/lean/skinny.
I'll add that I'm a fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health in England, and have a huge interest in peoples emotional, physical and mental health. I hold the view that if you can be of help or support to anyone, whether directly or indirectly, then you should.
I'm so glad you're feeling better, you've starting to reap the rewards for all the hard work you did.
Well done for starting the exercising regime and I hope you enjoy it.
You really are well and truly looking after yourself, no wonder you're only 40.
I wish you well.
Also can you give a ballpark on how much it cost?
I am 61 I lost 100lbs and a large pannus/skin flap that I would love to have removed.
I also have a bad back so thinking that losing that extra weight would help take some stress off of it.
