I'm 34 years old. I have 2 children. My eldest is 14 now. I was very thin when i got pregnant and suffered very bad stretch marks all around my stomach and hips and my stomach sagged. No matter how much i exercised or how many sit ups i did it was no use, my stomach was like a dead sac of muscle. It was very hard to accept it. I was always very conscious of my mid section and it really took over how I felt about my whole appearance. I planned and intended on getting a tt, but some reason or another it was put off. Finally I got the courage to be selfish, and say now is my time, and did it!!! Im delighted with the results and only sorry I didn't get it sooner. Although Im recovering and slowed right down Im so excited and can't wait to be the new more confident me!

3.5 weeks, I'm swollen and putting on weight quickly with lack of exercise. I even look like I'm pregnant in my clothes. Ive had to go back to work after 2 weeks and finding it very difficult. I am not walking properly, upright but slow and awkward. I have a desk job and sitting at the right angle is a pain too. I don't seem to have any time, with work the kids and not getting around easy, its bringing me down a little but i guess it has been over 3 weeks I'm getting bored. I always looked forward to yoga 3 times a week but at this rate i think it will be longer before I get back to any stretching. Im so use to doing a million things at once, i can't deal with the sitting around doing nothing, which for the first two weeks was like a nice rest, now Im like heeelllllllppppp! Right thats the feeling sorry for myself part over with...it was still worth it. I know this time next year Ill be loving my new tummy and I won't have the hobble feeling every time I get dressed. I'm posting pics for the first time x

Wow! What a transformation! You look amazing! Your stomach looks so tight and flat in your 2 week PO pic! Your scar is really even and thin too! Great results! How is the swelling and pain on that one side? Did you call your doctor to figure out what has caused it? Sorry to hear you have hit this rough patch! Hope you are feeling better soon!!!

Hi there, I know you are not happy with the swelling and I have one tip! I bought a spanks type garment like a vest but it's so much tighter than my other one. It was so tight it hurt a little the first day wearing it. I got the smallest size. I pull it down so that it covers down to my pubic area. The difference is amazing, my tummy is so flat. I would recommend more compression. I am a week with it on and i feel so much better!
