Still loving this tummy tuck. I stopped wearing my garmet about month 4, well just noticed in this month that swelling has kicked in big time. No change in what I'm doing, Ive alway walked 10-12 miles a week. No strenuous ab exercises at all. Feels good in the mornings but by evening, swelling! About to post pictures, 6 months, just took off the garmet that's why it's red. I still love my results, just tired is the swelling and I've gained 3 pounds this month, has to be swelling. I haven't called the ps, but I think I will next week. I don't think anything is wrong, but I want them to know what I'm experiencing even though this is suppose to be normal! Ugh!

I had my TT with muscle repair no lipo on 9/21 and I still swell too! I do tons of excersize daily but no abs still wish I was flatter... Guess we need to give it a few months. The absolute worst swelling is the week of my period it's terrible!

I'm into my fifth month post TT and MR and Lipo and I wear my stage 1 compression garment and binder every other day. It helps!

4 weeks postop! Love my belly button! This picture was taken this morning. Wished the swelling by the evening would go away! It's better than at first, but I'm sick of it, lol! Sick of this CG too! Down 10 pounds since surgery! I'm doing what I did before surgery, only limitation Is not lifting anything very heavy! Go back to work next Tuesday! Been shopping, I was a size 12, now I'm a size 8. Some 6 pants fit! So excited about my size! Best decision ever!

Wow! You look wonderful! It seems you have had a great recovery and fantastic results. I am 2 days away from my surgery. Feeling apprehensive about recovery, but your story gives me confidence! Keep doing whatever you're doing because it seems to be working:-)

Wow! You would have to be proud of your journey so far. What a change, just think of your result in another month's time. Never be ashamed to say you lost weight, it isn't east to do and keep off so accept compliments. I do.
