4 week post op tummy tuck
Feeling great!
18 days post op Tummy Tuck
How many follow up appts
1 weeks , 2 weeks 2 months 6 momths and a year
Today is 18 days post op. I feel great. Im walking back to normal now. Up until 4 days ago I was kinda of waddling because I would swell so much throughout the day to the point I looked 3 months pregnant. Now I dont swell as bad but I still swell as the day goes on from doing my normal activities. On day 14 at my 2 weeks appt my PS put a game marble in my belly button. He told me to wear it majority of the day for 2 months to help shape my belly button and give it a more natural shape. I dont even notice it's there so im fine with that. After day one I noticed my belly button was more rounded already. Now that im starting to hea I notice that I wish I would have gotten lipo in my hips. I guess that will be one area I will exercise away rather than pay for. I dont have a terrible body self image so I am more than happy so far with the results even with my hips and stretch marks. I still cannot believe my dream actually came true. No more abdominal flap.

7 Days Post Op - Return Back to Work
To start off I have plenty of leave time from work so if I felt terrible trust me I would have not returned. I have a desk job so it's a pretty sedentary job with no physical demands. The hardest part today was the walk to and from the office to the parking garage. Walking from the garage into the office was the hardest because it's the farthest I have walked since having the surgery. I got out of breath and could feel myself swell up as I walked. Leaving at the end of the day was not as bad as I had been making sure I was up and walking every two hours. The most uncomfortable part of today and everyday is the compression garment because it is so tight!! 6 weeks is a long time to be in this thing. I have never been a girdle wearer so this is sorta torture for me as it is even tighter than a girdle. I hope the stage 2 garment that I will purchase next week isn't so bad. I didn't have much pain today so I skipped out on the ibuprofen today. I feel fine just swollen and very uncomfortable with this compression garment.

Dr Fata has been wonderful!! I had no worries about the tummy tuck surgery because he thoroughly explained everything to me which gave me great to confidence to make the decision to go through with surgery to correct my stomach . Dr Fata was my 4th plastic surgeon consultation in Carmel. Im glad I chose him. I feel so blessed to have found him!
