3.5 years after MM
WORTH IT$17,000
Still extremely happy with my results. Just wanted to show how gravity affects after a few years. I have gained some weight also but nothing crazy. Had a hysterectomy and they were able to use same scars for the poke holes. Overall I still think it was worth the $$, time off work & pain. I don’t really pay attention to my scars and my hubby does not care about them at all. He was worried at first that he would not like them but he loves the new me (he loved the old me also). I feel so much better about my physical appearance now.

Worth It!!
Overall my procedure was worth it. All I can say is after tummy tuck YOU NEED to work out. I let myself slack off after and have failed to make things better for myself. My breasts are amazing!! I couldn't have asked for better! My doc was amazing. My tummy looks good but could be better if I CHose to do something about it!!

You just had major surgery so don't try to stop your pain meds too early. Pain meds only work if you take them before your pain is too bad otherwise if your pain level gets too high & then you take them they won't work. That's why were prescribed to take them every 3/4/6 hrs to keep ahead of the pain. Also with a MM increased pain will make you strain & you could do damage to your incision, scar etc. i don't know why so many people feel it's better to quit taking pain meds so early almost like it makes them stronger to not take them. Taken as prescribed for a short period of time (6months or less) is perfectly safe & recommeneded to heal easier. Good luck! You look fabulous!! Happy healing ;)

I learned that the hard way. I think I just wanted to be awake more. I was sleeping most the day away from the meds. But after trying to stop, I would much rather sleep than be in pain. :)

I'm hoping Dr. Vath's plans for me work since I can't take narcotics. That's the only thing that is scaring me right now.

Sleeping more is actually good for healing so sleep away! I'm 16 weeks PO off all pain meds (for weeks) & still get tired easily so it's not just the meds. Our bodies are trying to recover, surgery is a huge shock to your body & sleeping is your body's way of healing itself. Listen to your body take a nap.

Hi , I am interested in your progress , wondering how remaining recovery went , and what everything looks like now, my body is similar to your before pics. Just curious, it's been a long time so not sure if you'll see this but your after pics just a few days out looked awesome.

Assuming so.
i would maybe crop your pics a bit..because of your tattoos..and half your face showing ....you are probably very recognizable..to anyone who has EVER seen you at the pool or recohnizes the lower half of your face, etc..all it takes is ONE person on this very well known, public site, and next thing you know?..either teachers, your kids, their friends' parents, or your coworkers are passing full frontal nudity pics around of you. .
Just trying to be a true "friend".
If you are a mom especially, you do NOT want that exposure for your kids' sake.
