40 Y.o. African American Mother of 3...ages Ranging from 25-10 - Glastonbury, CT

After contemplating a tummy tuck for the last 3 years. Finally did it. I am so happy with the results. Dr. Harold Beam of Glastonbury CT was excellent! He was caring and patient ( I called him alot after hours and he always called me back and was always understanding and helpful). I am Post op 2.5 weeks today. I am trying to resume normalcy. I took 3 weeks off work. But decided to add an extra week to make sure I am well enough to go back.
I had a large booty of skin in front. I wanted change. I am glad I did it. I feel more confident and got my sexy back. My swelling has subsided. Wearing my compression binder. Brought more Spanx to help when I return to work. I always wore Spanx anyways cause of my booty in the front. Not taking too many pain meds now. If anything ibuprofen when needed. Sleeping in my recliner still. Just feels good. I am going to attempt to sleep in bed tonight. 2 weeks post op I was feeling really good and went to Target and walked around for an hour. I think I pushed it to much. So just listen to your body. I drink two liters of water daily. And maintain a healthy diet.
My scar is beautiful. Just rubbing it with vase line and Keri lotion. Washing with Dove soap.
Watching my salt intake.
Eating alot of protein to promote healing.

Just a little peek at the before and afters. :)
