WORTH IT$7,000
SInce yesterday, I have watched a video and done more reading and can I tell you? I am a little freaked out to think that the results will be less than stellar. I get not perfect and in my mind, not perfect meant a big scar. I did expect skin to be tight. Was I being unrealistic? See pics. If I sit nice and straight you can't see it. It sux to think that I haven't even made it back to the beach yet and I will need to "watch how I sit" again or I will have sag showing, still.

Anyone notice even a hint of loosenig of their tummy skin? I didn't have a lot of lipo, just s little right dead center above the old BB; no flanks etc. I was sitting on the bed the other day facing my closet and the doors are mirrored I noticed a little bit of what seemed like "slackness." It's still there and I am still swollen so it's weird. It's tight when I stand and when I bend over.

Did you ever watch Becky's tummy tuck journey on YouTube? That happened to her too. She did lose some weight, but I did read where a few doctors said that your own skin elasticity plays a huge role in that I'll bit of post op saginess...may not be much that can be done. I expect the same thing to happen to me. You still look great...don't sweat it

No I haven't see it. I'll go looking. Crap. I mean Iknow I will fill it out some once I start doing ab work again and I have lost some weight (muscle). I just started to increase my calories and carbs in particular, this week as I am starting to work heavier at the gym (mainly chest and arms but heavy since those are the only parts I can work hard without stressing the abs). I am looking to start putting on muscle again as I lost some deifntion during all of this and muscles need food to grow so....crossing my fingers. It's not bad, just took me by surprize. I'll check Becky out on YT. Thanks!

That is bizarre. She was normal weight, had a baby then 2 years later had twins. Huge stomach, lots of stretch marks. Has the TT a year after the twins and her one year video she is down to like 102 and looks amazing-tight upper and lower abs. Then at 18 months t startst to fall apart?! Geezus! That's really screwed up.

Haven't seen my PS for 3 weeks. Got the ok to start Vitamin E for my scar. He snipped a few random stitches that were sticking out. Said I am still a little bloated at the top. Still can't do legs at the gym. At first he said no, then said I could do some extensions. I asked about body weight squats at least and he said ok. Then he said he doesn't need to see me for 8 weeks. There is no way I am going to be able to wait another 8 weeks to start adding some weight to my legs. My ass is going to turn into a pancake. I'll go 2-3, and then start with front squats and some DB straight leg deads. I will start some extensions, body weight squats and seated leg curls this weekend and see how it goes.
Anyway, I said it's still really numb up the center.He said that will go away-in about a year, and smiled. I also told him I feel like I am being trussed up from the inside out (tightness). He said that is the muscles reattaching.
Today I wore jeans all day and was crazy uncomfortable. They weren't tight but just sat in the wrong place, especially when I sat.
I could live in my binder. Back to sleeping in it.
Guess that's it. Overall I feel great. Six weeks flew by, I expect the next eight will as well. Hope everyone else is doing well and getting back to normal and in the holiday groove. November TT's take it easy and December TT's Good Luck!
(Oh yeah, sunscreen on the BB or scar if only wearing one layer of clothing. So like just a shirt, BB needs sunscreen. Can't really expose it full on yet. I live at the beach so this sux because I can't show it off-have to wear shorts-boo).

Looking HOT lady :) our time frame is similar & it's fun to watch the transitions....I hear you on the leg stuff I've been back doing only strength & was able to do squats, lunges & calf raises....upper body VERY low weight as long as I don't engage my core. I'm also swollen in the upper abs but I started my 3 day detox so hoping I deflated a little :) keep up the good work!

Thanks Rockstar! I am just going to listen to my body. If it doesn't feel right, I won't do it and of course, I won;t be doing heavy but like I have been, easing back into what I can do. On chest, bi', tri's and shoulders, I am back at my previous weights. Back still lighter because when it gets heavy it does engage the core.
But I see DB squats in the very near future, maybe some stiff leg deads, just light. I have low back issues and that all helps so I don't want it getting weak again. Maybe I do need detox. I am so gassy and have been since the surgery. Never was before. May have to give it a try. Rock on!
