So this is how my tummy looks now. My incision had opened I guess. It was actually bleeding. PS asked me to just apply antibacterial cream. So hoping to get better.
I m still not happy with the flab although my PS 'assured' me it WILL get better after 2 or 3 weeks. I m still hoping.
My belly button is dark part of it looks healed and dry and some areas still healing.

I too dealt with the emotional roller coaster stage! This website was very supportive in helping me through that stage. Most of the time you can find someone on this site going through the things that you are going through to help you cope. Good luck with your journey!

It really disappoints me when I see tons of girls' results 4 weeks post and I'm no where near that. I see lot of flab but my PS keeps assuring me it will flatten out by 6 or 7 weeks post. When I sit on bed I see a wobbly roll and am not convinced its all swelling. Sorry for the rant :)

Did you have lipo and/or muscle repair? You def look swollen hard to tell, i would wait out the 7 weeks and see if i saw a change.

probably swelling!! Some people do swell more than others. i was told you swell more when you have the tummy tuck and the lipo all at once. i had them done separately, but i only had lipo on my flanks! your results somewhat put me in the mind of cheweb results. Search her on here and check out her pics! This will give you some relief towards the thoughts you're having abt the swelling. Her results turned out excellent after having corrective surgery!

I am 10 days since my lipo and full TT, well I am getting better the day but I am worried about my belly button its oozing some yellow reddish discharged talked to my PS who says I spray with opsite. I am still quite swollen and a bit sore on the incision site. How do I take care of the belly button? Should I just continue spraying with the opsite one layer after the other should I not clean the discharge out before spraying? On the incision site some areas are amolst healed other are not I was given a cream to apply should I apply and spray the opsite or just leave the cream alone. I am quite energetic and in less pain but I am worried about the belly button how long does it take to heal and best do I take Care of it? How long does it take to completely heal and get back to normalcy my 2 yr old daughter cants understand why I cannot hold or lift her up she is crying so much and its really breaking my heart.

I just sprayed opsite for 2 weeks. Nothing else. When was given the cream, I first clean the incision and bb with saline water, then I would apply the cream and 5 mins later spray opsite so that the skin first absorbs the cream and opsite acts like a protective layer. Hope that helps Where did u get ur surgery done, if I may ask? Who is ur surgeon?

Hi twinfun thanks for your response was done by Dr Adan at Karen hospital. I see your incision line has some gapping mine doesn't have but there are some areas I see some a bit of rawness should I worry and how should I deal with that I am too afraid of any infection as I am due to resume work on Monday next week.

The rawness changes from person to person. Keep spraying opsite until ur next visit when I think he will ask u to apply antibacterial cream. Keep in touch with him. He responds well to texts. How did it go for u? Did u get just TT or lipo too?

Hi I got both TT and Lipo done I saw the PS and he was happy with my progress and yes he asked me to apply the cream and continue spraying. After how long did you take a full body shower?

I am getting a tummy tuck Wednesday the 4th of December and I am scared and having second thoughts. I am thin but after having 3 big kids my ab muscles separated and I have a protruding stomach. But I am nervous. Has anyone had one and been happy. Can you tell me what to expect??

Incision & BB started to heal

My incision and BB started to heal although I see yellowish puss coming out. I m applying antibiotic cream.
Swelling came down a bit. My energy levels r normal during the day but evenings am totally exhausted (I have 4 yr old twin girls)
About the bulge my PS says he KNOWS its going to come down and look flat 6-8 weeks post. I hope and pray he is right as that's still my biggest concern! He said he is expecting it to reduce my 1cm at least. I see sooooooo many women having a flat belly by week 2 or 3 so it really plays with ur head!

Belly button

My PS suggested oval shaped BB on the day of surgery and I said yes. So this is how it looks like. It's dry and cross inside. He didn't tell me how to clean or anything. He just asked to spray Opsite on it until I see him tomorow.
What are u ladies doing with the BB? How do u clean inside , if u do?
Btw I went out for dinner for the first time post surgery. And I looked preggers all bloated and swollen.
