Post 2 months 2 weeks I feel great except for mid and late day swelling especially if I don't wear compression. Overall back feels back to normal, my stomach still feels numb from the TT especially around the BB. BA little to no discomfort it feels like part of my body.
I'm happy with my results. Funny but true my oldest two children 7 and 4 yr old, did not know that I had a BBL or MM. They tell me Mommy your butt got so BIG and they wiggle it they think it hilarious and so do I. By the way I was not planning on BIG just a butt proportionate to my body.

Tummy Tuck incision revealed
Katissweet143September 28, 2014
Looking Great, happy with the scar thus far. Incision line is thin, and scar in some places is a little dark but overall much prettier than my C- section scar which was thick and raised. I'll start scar therapy when I get the ok from SALZ office. I will call tomorrow.
So I'm the type of person that can look at other peoples incision, surgeries but I freak when it's me. So needless to say I was having a conniption in the bathroom thinking on how to take off the medical tape that was still stuck to the skin. I tried andtugged at it and it was pretty secure, so I went Into the shower And made sure it was soaked and pulled it off slowly. Much easier to get off when wet.
Here are some pictures 30 days after my surgery. Posting some backside pictures as well. If you guys have any ? Feel free to ask.
Feeling about 80% myself, lipo to sides still are sore not excruciating , every know and then boobs get a little sore. Overall getting there slowly and happy with results

your belly button lookes so natural. so does your body, it does not look like you had anything done, lookes like natural body. your scar is perfect! every time i look at your pictures i get more and more excited about my surgery, the first few days were you able to walk around? did you need any transfusions ? im following newqueen2014 journey and i had no idea it can be that bad.
September 29, 2014
Thank you I, told Salz I wanted a natural look being the Mon if 4, I just wanted a better me.
Day1-3 I was able to walk with support. I was able to clean myself since day one. I needed help getting out of bed 1-5 especially in mornings.
Day 2 when the nurse came in from Salz. Office, I was able to stand on my own, il be it hunched but I was able. Look at first set of pictures.
Day 6 was able to walk out of the condo and go to 2 different stores, 45 outside taking my time.
Day 7 walked about 2 miles with my Aide by my side to a local shopping center, taking my time and very cautious.
I did not need a blood transfusion, I was so nervous about this that I spoke to SALZ personally about this concern a week before surgery, he informed me that they were affiliated with a hospital if need be.
I prepared my body 3 months before surgery using blood builder, and used it after as well. I bought this on Amazon (great reviews helps with iron and blood levels). I'm not sure if this helped at all with my recovery.
I think key things are to hydrate, take antibiotics, iron, walk and eat. Always think positive.
So in a nutshell I had one terrible day, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I did stay in Fl. For 2 weeks not to compromise the surgeries.Everyone is different and their bodies process pain and recouping differently, I am very fortunate.

Well feeling much better than last couple of weeks, although I still get tired sooner than usual. I took 6 weeks off from work to recoup and not compromise my surgeries. Doing a lot of my routine duties at home with the kiddies although my parents have really helped out a lot ..
Sleeping is much better I am sleeping on my sides, boobs are a little sore when I wake up so now I came up with putting a rolled up sock in the cleavage which keeps them stable so when I wake up they are not sore :)...
TT is still covered with soft cloth tape and surgical glue underneath I haven't looked yet until sept 29th YEKS... I think Salz is very pre cautious with incisions opening so he wants us to keep support on the incision sites as long as possible...
All pains are slowly subsiding although I have to say the lipo to the flanks and sides of bra roll sides are still very tender at times when any if the kids touch me there I flinch.
I put my husband to work a couple of yrs ago he bought me a huge back hand held massager, in which I stored away and never used till now. He dusted it off and he is using it on my back on low pressure in which I feel like it is breaking up the scar tissue and relaxing my muscles. After he is done I feel very relaxed.
So happy I invested in my self I smile every time I pass a mirror or get out the shower...
By the way my family is not use to seeing me with a butt so they get shocked every time I turn around :) my mother would always start giggling because she is in disbelief and my husband says "damn" ... Feel sorry for him because he can't touch this for 3 more weeks ;) I'm to afraid to damage something, I know TMI ...

Look at that sillouette girl :))) and those boobies !!!! I am so happy your happy!! I wish I was as happy as you. Still playing the waiting game ... But definitely looking forward to a round 2.
September 22, 2014
Boobies... I know , I always was on the smaller side... Than smaller , deflated and droopy. Thanks, to that idea of Halley you gave me the day before surgery ( can't thank you enough) ... I know they don't look Exactly like Halley but at least there in similar proximity ( a girl can dream).
Over all happy but would like to tweak some things :)
September 26, 2014
Your body looks awesome!!!!!
September 26, 2014
Thank you Girl, I'm so happy i took the dive and did this for myself and self esteem.
September 27, 2014
You look absolutely incredible! im getting the same procedures done with dr salz, how was recovery? im really scared with recovery. i wanted to ask where did you get your floaty and how exactly did you sleep in it?
September 27, 2014
Thanks, the surgeries is durable but not a walk in the park. Fortunately I have a high threshold for pain. I had one really Bad day my 3rd day, I had a a temperature, and was in a lot of pain( I also stopped my pain medicine because it made me sick) I don't recommend that for anyone, but I had too.
I had a nurse name Liz who helped me day 3- 8. My husband was with me for 2 days. Fortunately the nurse kicked into gear and helped me tremendously.
Overall pain was the most my 3-5. After that pain was manageable with ice packs and Tylenol. Movement, eating and the advice of the aide really helped in my recovery.
I bought my float when staying at the condo in Florida, it's a store called wings. But you can buy it at target, amazon or walmart. I slept using a wedge behind the float with serval pillows on top and at the bottom of the float I used a leg wedge and place pillows in it to level with the float. I slept in it with my butt barely touching the bed. The float helped because my TT incision was not comprised neither my rear. I slept like this for 2 weeks and thanks was able to sleep on my sides wit the use of lots of pillows
September 27, 2014
Thank you so much, gladly im very similar to you, i have a high pain tolerance and have had several surgeries before and they have been a breeze, also have had a c section which i know wont even be half as bad but it was a breeze for me. you have been really informative, ill be following your directions and sleeping just like you stated to see if im comfty and again you look AMAZING! congrats on the new and improved you! God Bless.
September 28, 2014
Thank you :), Best wishes I will be following ure story. If you have any ? Feel free to ask.
I also had 2 C section , I found theTT was more discomfort than a C section. I assume because of the muscle repair and the stomach being tight.
