WORTH IT$7,400
I had my TT one week ago and I must say it gets better everyday! I was so anxious before surgery that I hadn't slept for days and I was a delirious wreck on the day of surgery:)
The first couple days were really bad but now I'm feeling back to myself and ready to get out of the house, I think I'll go grocery shopping tomorrow. Im going to try to post some pix but I took them on my phone so not sure how it will work.

I geuss I could give better background info on myself lol:)
I had TT surgery on my 36 bday, happy birthday to me!
I have 2 kids 7 1/2 and 9 and I never really got my stomach back after having them. I have tried all the usual things like gym, trainer, diet but nothing was working.
Actually in November I did the Zerona laser lipo thinking it would be a better alternative to surgery. I lost about 6lbs and 2 inches all over but then it made my already flabby tummy even flabbier so I was incredibly dissapointed. So I would tell anyone looking into the Zerona to just put that money to actual surgery, it will be worth it in the end!
I am a week and a day out and Im feeling petty well! I get tired easily still even grocery shopping:) I am standing up much straighter (thanks Bella83!).
I am very happy that it is all over now! The anticipation if getting there is awful.
I wish I could sleep on my side but the binder kind of pinches along my incision and its very uncomfortable. I needed to have a BB hernia repaired too so my BB is kind of icky. I really hope it doesn't get infected!
I think one of my biggest fears was having a crazy belly button. Ive seen some pix of ones that remind me of coin slots and I didnt want that for sure. I think my new BB will be ok, it looks a little small to me but I had a fat frowny face BB for so long that anything is better:)
I go back into PS in 2 weeks so I will check back in then and try to keep up on the pictures.

So ive read alot of posts of depression being part of surgery. I really feel like Im an emotional train wreck and I cry over EVERYTHING and all I want to do is sleep. Ive lost 15 lbs in 9 days, not sure if thats normal or not. Anyway, my husband cant stand me and he doesnt know what to do for me. I get mad at him when he wants to leave me to go handout with friends but I also get mad at him if he invites ppl over to hang out at our house. I dont like being this way, I dont want to be this way but I dont know how to fix it. My husband and I got in a huge fight today bc I was crying while putting laundry away! He told me that if he knew this was going to happen he never would have let me do it!
I really need to know how long this lasts from those of you who have gone thru anything like this!
Much appreciated:)

Hey kksmom! I just wanted to tell you that depression after surgery is very common (partly because of the after effects of anesthesia, pain meds, antibiotics). The other part is not being able to do much for yourself or feel normal. I was an emotional wreck for my first week after surgery. I would cry several times a day and wished that I never had the tummy tuck. My husband didn't know what to do for me either. On the plus side, I really turned a corner at day 6 or 7. I think the fact that I was no longer on pains meds, no longer on antibiotics, and I was starting to walk straighter, that all really helped me feel better. I hope you start to feel better soon too. What meds are you on right now? That could be a major culprit in how you are feeling. Well, you look great and will only get better so just remember it will all be worth it in the end and things will go back to normal ;-) Tell your hubby that too!

Thanks! I have Percocet and a muscle relaxer I can't remember what it is. I try not to take the Percocet bc it gives me really weird dreams but it also seems the only way I can actually sleep is by taking them. I'm exhausted all day until I go to bed. Figures right! I took a half a percocet last night and still had weird dreams so I think I'm stopping them all together. I'd rather had a glass of wine!

I would try to stop them and switch to tylenol for pain. From what I've read, pain meds (including percocet) can cause depression, mood swings, and anxiety in some people. You may find that you feel better a few days after stopping them, once they are out of your system. Good luck and happy healing ;-)

I was taking percocet to sleep, but it didn't really help me sleep well, just messed with my mind. Now I'm taking advil pm, since I need to sleep but I'm still in a position that I can't sleep in (half sitting up). The advil pm has worked well for me, and I don't have weird dreams.
