It's been 2 years.... so my tummy is still flat. I have a tightness feeling like I did sit ups but it does not bother me. I like the workout -pain feeling. I do work out and when I do sit ups the pain is intensified but again nothing I can't handle. I feel great I love dressing up. I'm going in for a breast reduction tomorrow I wanted this since I was 18 and once I had the tt my breast looks even more bigger. I think I'm 36 ddd or whatever comes after that. I will put pics up later. Something funny after my tt with my big boobs I can't see down when I button/ zip my pants.

It's been 6wks. I did take longer to stand up straight but I think I know why. I slept with the pillows under my legs like the Doc suggest but I did it for 4weeks and when I went for my appo he said to take it out and the next couple of days I started standing straighter. I babied myself lol. I feel great and love dressing up. My closet full of clothes are brand new again. I'm trying not to buy new clothes but I can't help it. I was a large/9 in jeans. I fit in my jeans w/o the gut hanging over and skirts I'm a medium and my large fit as well. Here's a pic sorry my butt is in all in the shot.

girl you look good. I'm ending my 5th week and feel the same as far as standing up. I haven't bought new clothes too much just yet but I'm sure going to soon.

I tried following your thoughts about the pillow to see if that would help me stand up as well, but I'm still having a difficult time of it -- although I'm only 18 days out. My coworkers are giving me a hard time about how stooped I am :)

It took me almost 5 weeks and when I sit for a long time I get up and hunched over. Hang in there, it happens slowly but it does happen and all of a sudden your standing straight up.

I'm super late on the congratulations, but oh my goodness, what a transformation! I'll be reading and re-reading all your posts to prep for my surgery

How has your life changed since your procedure? Anything other side effects or anything that came up more recently?

Just a little update, I'm almost standing straight. I'm working a lot more and get completely wiped out at night. I sleep like a baby. I'm feeling great. I went to work and wore my old dresses that fit amazing. Its a big noticeable change. I'm so happy w/ this. Sorry for the bad pics I was trying to take it next to a white background. I'm wearing Spanx that I had for years there's no wire I switch w/ that and the binder the Doc gave me.

I was the same way. I took 2weeks off. If you can take 3weeks try to. The 1st week back was so hard. I was winded and out of breath I was walking a lot. Its been 4weeks and I'm now standing straight. I wasn't in pain just super tired. I worked 2 days when I went back after 2weeks off I just couldn't do the 5days.
