I eat right and exercised religiously and took all the Advocare supplements. Still no progress on the belly. All of it was the nasty flapping excessive skin hanging eww gross !!!!!
My hubby and I made up our minds to go through with the tuck. BEST decision we ever made. I am one week post op tomorrow I woke up with no pain no nausea no pain pills were needed. Very very lucky. I'm doing better day by day not rushing iti just can't WAIT to go shopping!!!!!!!

Looks very good so far :) I'm 6 days post as well. Looking forward to seeing how your recovery goes. I'm in a little pain from bloating and the drains but it isn't terrible.

Girl those drains were a pain lol. But I was more worried about them coming out over the surgery. I can't wait to the final results. It's amazing from what I hear

I LOVE that you said "we decided to go ahead with the surgery"... This is SO TRUE, I think. We need our partners to be behind us for this. Awesome that you have had such a positive experience, thank you for sharing. Continued GREAT healing. Would love to see more pics as you heal.

Did you have muscle repair with TT? I had horrible back spasm due to hunching over - my turning point was at 3weeks - I would say I'm about 90 % straight and I'm 4 weeks as of yesterday .. It does get better and I know with my muscle repair I was seen tight ... Happy healing :-)
