So I find the pain is mostly gone. Numbness is still there though which is expected. I do have to say the staff seems a little distracted and I didn't even see the doctor post ops. They need to get better customer service in there. But the main thing is that I look great! I ended up losing about 8 lbs. I only lost about an inch off my waist...it's probably because of the build up fluids around where she measured. As you can see I don't have any significant bruising at all. My nurse was really surprised it was my one week. Lol. She asked me how I did it. I have no idea!!! I think the healthier you are and the quicker you get up to walk the faster it heals. I wear my compression gear religiously and that helps a lot.

Thank you so much! I go for mine on the 17th of May and I am super divided. I did not want the tummy tuck because I am afraid of all the after care. You look great though

I am back at work already. A bit of soreness here and there but overall pretty good. For some reason I haven't had a huge appetite ever since surgery. It could be medication or the pain around my neck area. I have been walking a lot since getting out of surgery. Even hit the gym yesterday. Only cardio. No abs or lifting. Overall, it has been a great healing process. I see a huge difference on my abs but my chin looks worse than before. We will see. One week post-op is this Saturday.

you will do great! If you have any particular question let me know. I'm just kind of rambling for the most part. I never really did a full review.

Thanks for continuing to post pics and updates.  It sounds like the soreness is getting better, which is great.  Hang in there.  I hope your chin starts to look better soon, let us know!

Wow I can't believe you are back to work after only 4 days. Did your coworkers notice anything? How about when sitting or getting up; is it uncomfortable? You look great!

They noticed I lost weight and I had my chinstrap on. I didn't really say anything much except I had surgery on my neck. Not a lot of pain at all. Surprising I know!! I was waking around like normal there were time when it was uncomfortable and I just took some Tylenol and was ok. I didn't wear anything tight and definitely no buttons since it would dig into my new stomach

So how long was it before you could really see a difference. And how before you could get back into your regular clothing? Are did your size go down.

Day 1 after surgery

Reading back my review yesterday. I was all over the place lol. Well the swelling is there and it definitely hurts. But I don't want to take any hydrocodone because it's too strong. Hopefully the regimen of Tylenol and arnica will help. Here are some pics....it's kind of weirdly shaped but I'm thinking it's still the fluids I do see it smaller thought. They took out about 2100 cc that's a lot. Well off to a good recovery.
