Confidence Queen (Full tummy tuck)- Flowood, MS

Hi everyone. If you are anything like me- I enjoy looking GOOD! Im a African American 28 year old female who was ready for a CHANGE. I had my TT on 3/5/2013 in Jackson, MS. I got a TT because I have 2 children- 12,3- and my belly was sitting in my lap =). I felt ok with my appearance (wearing gridles) but I want my high school body back 5'7- 140pds. I am tried of wearing uncomfortable gridles everywhere I go- they push my breast up and I hate that =(. I've spent alot of money on shapewear to find myself still feeling self conscious when I take them off. I am 2 week post op today and I love the results so far! I am still very swollen but love the results! My goal was to have a hour glass figure and I feel that I'm almost there- yay! The still feel uncomfortable due to the tightness in my stomach area. Everything is healing rather quickly. My scar is thin and very low- hip to hip. As of today 3/20, I am able to stand/walk upright. I was unable to last week =(. It still hurts to cough/laugh =(! I returned to work two days ago and I feel fine. I sit at a desk for 8 hours so its ok to return to work if you are not doing alot of moving. The only thing I can say is : TRY IT LADIES! Im pleased after 2weeks! Im very swollen but still see the difference. People would tell me- Just exercise- no ladies, in my opinion, you can exercise all day everyday and still have the BABY FLAP. Trust me- I Know! Some of my stretch marks are still here. Im using cocoa butter (Queen Helene). Ladies, please do not be afraid to invest in yourself! My 12 year motivates me with positive words. She'S contantly behind me monitoring what I eat =).

Ladies- DO SOMETHING FOr yourselF- invest in you!!! =)
 

Day 18- Wk2

I made a huge mistake today! I have been wearing, sports wear, since my TT and today I wante to be cute. I am wearing jeans, blazer, tank, heels (no binder) Huge MISTAKE. I felt like i was about to POP about an hour ago! Now I am at my desk-as u all know, I returned to wk on Monday (2wks PO-TT) with my binder on, heels off, jeans unbotton =0. I feel so swollen! The swelling occurs at the drop of a dime =(! I am so ready for a FULL recovery- I want to wear regular clothes. Are you all feeling comfortable in regular clothes?

Well Im feeling like my swelling is going down and I'm still a little (rounded#. I do not know if my PS took off enough skin or if my tummy is still swollen #Skin is soft#. I am hoping that I do not have to go back for liposuction- this stuff is expensive =#. Any advice ladies?
