I had my first child at 16. She was 9lbs 12oz and completely stretched out my abdomen and I was left with huge stretchmarks and a lot of loose skin. I've hated my stomach ever since. I always felt self-conscious undressed or sitting down. After I had my last child 3 years ago at 36 I set a goal for myself that I would treat myself to a tummy tuck before my 40th birthday. I had my procedure 3 months ago at 39 and could not be happier

Loving my tummy tuck
WandinaOctober 18, 2014
Well it's been 6 months since I've gotten my tummy tuck and lipo and I am so happy I did it! I still have numbness in my mid abdomen and still feels a little tight but I have gone back to my regular work out routine of zumba, step and kickboxing without any problems. The first 3-4 months were so frustrating because I still got very bloated midday and I couldn't do sit ups or lie on my tummy. And for awhile I felt so much bigger and fatter than before my tummy tuck because of all the swelling. For all of you who are frustrated with your outcome and upset that results were not instantaneous I just advise you to be patient! All your swelling, your lumps, your creases and the dreaded swell hell will eventually normalize and you'll start to enjoy your results.

Your 3 month post op pics look great. Do you have any recent pics?
I'm considering going to Greenwald.

Hi, I haven't taken full shots but I do have one pic I can post. Dr. Greenwald was great. I am so happy with my results. I'll post another pic now...

I'm two weeks post op today, did you feel a lot of tightness after eating, and maybe not eating as much as before because of this?

Hi I certainly did! I felt so full even after eating a little as if there was not enough room for my stomach to expand after eating. I also would get like what felt like muscle spasms in my abdomen. The muscles felt like they were tightening all the time and it was so uncomfortable. As time goes by those symptoms resolve. I think it took up to 6 weeks for me to be able to eat without discomfort
