This week has been wonderful. I can say with certainty that I have not hurt nearly as much as I expected. The worst pain is actually my back from being hunched over. My back is the only reason I am still taking pain medication really. The muscle spasms are pretty painful too. My doctor told me I had much more muscle than most patients. This is likely because I do workout so much including intense core routines. So those muscles are cramping up as the heal. It is feels like I've done 500 sit ups in a row.
Now, the results. As I've said before, I knew I wouldn't have a perfect body after this surgery. I have extensive stretch marks. I also had a huge amount of skin to remove. My surgery was to help with medical problems, and it will serve that purpose. I also think that my body turned out looking better than I could ever hope for. Even less than a week post op, I look so feminine. I'm very happy, and I am lucky to have worked with a doctor that was faced with the worst patient circumstances and made a beauty.

I have my extended tummy tuck yesterday morning. My surgeon is affiliated with a hospital, so I stayed over night at the hospital(still here). During my surgery she had to make the decision to do an anchor cut to remove as much skin as possible. She was able to remove over 10 lbs.
I've had a few sneak peaks when they checked my dressing, it's pretty incredible. So excited to share more in the coming weeks.

I am so glad you have shared this! I saw Dr. Scott for my consult 2 weeks ago. She is also going to bat for my insurance! I can't wait to see your progress pictures.
I will be doing an extended txt with a "fleur de Lise" procedure (upper tummy)

I fee like I have entered the no sleep zone. All I can think about is my surgery and getting everything ready for my surgery.
I just can't even begin to imagine how much my life will change without this huge mass of skin and fat in front of me.

Congrats on all your hardwork! It's pretty amazing what you've accomplished and you should be very proud of yourself. I had a TT and lipo last September and it was the best decision. I'm active and nutrition focused but it renewed my dedication to my health. I hope it does the same for you! Lots of ice, rest, don't forget to move- slowly and carefully- but movement is good! Have a great surgery! :-)
