Here I go again. First, I had a breast reduction last year September (2014). Now, I have a scheduled date for an abdominoplasty next week (March 12, 2015). I'm very excited! My journey started in 2013 when I had WLS, since then I have lost 70lbs. With the weight loss comes excess skin... My tummy have an overhang which I quite annoying and irritable. I have decided to go thru with the surgery and regain my confidence.

Congratulations on the weight loss! I am having a FTT on 4/13/15. I wish mine was in a week. I am very excited too. I have loose flabby skin hanging down and folding in on my c-section scar. I was asked if I had been heavy at one point in my life. The only weight I had gained was when I was pregnant 24 and 22 years ago. I don't know what the "after" will look like, but I can't wait to find out. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted. :)

Day of treatment

Done With My surgery

FMT1970March 13, 2015

I had my surgery yesterday, Tuesday March 12, 2015. So far so good! My surgery began at 11:30 am and I was done and was done around 4pm. My surgeon prescribed me vicodin and a muscle relaxer for pain. I have tubes for drainage which has to be changed twice a day. The results from the anesthesia is still kicking in. I was released to come home around 5:45pm.

My wonderful husband is my caregiver. He has my recovery area at home nice and comfortable. I'm sleeping on a recliner on the main level of my home because my bedroom is upstairs.

I will post pictures soon.

Did you also get lipo to flanks and back

No, I didn't have lipo. Just muscle repair and 3 lbs of skin removed. After losing 70 lbs, I was nothing but loose skin.

5 day Post Op Status

FMT1970March 28, 2015

For my 5 day status update:
Followed up with my PS and she removed my drains (yea!!!). Also, she said no need to bandage the scars, instead allow the area to heal (and the protective sealant to come off naturally). Once the drainy wounds began to heal, I can remove bandage and begin to apply antibiotic ointment. My "original" navel had a few stitches as a result of the TT.

Continue to wear binder for compression.

So far so good!
