6 months today...

WORTH IT$6,500
I can't believe it's been six months already. I thank god I never had any complications and that my recovery went smoothly. I still get puffy at the end of the day but wake up flat. And my tummy is still numb. My incision looks good when I wake up but after being in pants all day it looks a little darker. I've gained like 5 pounds but will hopefully get rid of them after the holidays. I've posted a pic of me first thing in the morning. Hope everyone is doing good.

You look fantastic. I love your results. You have a great waist. Are your physical activities back to normal with no pain?
Thank you. The only thing I haven't done are abdominal exercises. My doc told me no abdominal exercises for 6months. So now I will start little by little.
You do look great! May I ask what was your beginning weight & hr and end weight ? I've been reading your post & I'm very impressed. I'm sched for tummy tuck n Lipo along with breast reconstruction (breast ca) I'm very nervous .
Height not hr! Sorry
Thank u. The day of surgery I was 152 lbs. I'm 5'2". Two weeks later, I was down to 147. But with the holidays I've put it back on. But I will hopefully drop them little by little. It's normal to be nervous. I remember hugging my dog the morning of surgery and telling him that I loved him with all my heart just in case I didn't come back. lol. The hard part is the recovery. Just make sure u have someone that is there to help u especially the first 4 days at least.
Thank you for reply. I have my hubby and both kids home, I expected to take 3-4 weeks off for this. I just came down with a respitory flu:/ risk of healthcare job. Hoping I don't end up with the heavy coughing that'll be awful with TT part! Happy holidays ! Keep up the good work.
You look really good! I'm coming up on my 6 months on Dec. 19th... I'm still numb as well, I go back to my doctor on the 28th. I don't know if this is normal or not. Do you know how long it will take. I thought 6 months.
Hi negra32714 I am having surgery next month with Dr G would love to get some insight from you
Hi Lisa. How did everything go?
Hello. Hope all is well. It's been quiet some time now but I was winding how your experience went with this doctor. Thank you in advance

Looks amazing!
Thanks c
You look so beautiful.. Very feminine and soft and perfect. Yay for you!!
thank you.
You look amazing! Is your belly button healed? If I don't keep something in mine it will start closing up.
I find that my belly button has a big opening. I told the dr that and he said, are you kidding me? LOL do you remember what you had? I said I guess I was just used to seeing a little hole.
You look great! Congrats to you
You look great. I've been lurking on this site and it is nice to read about people's journeys. I no longer feel worried that I'm still feeling super tight and can't stand up straight at day 11. Unfortunately it sounds like that hunched over feeling might last a while.

Almost 6 weeks

I'm almost 6 weeks out and as of yesterday I've been having like some strange feeling on the tips of the incision. It's not pain but as if it's being stretched. It comes and goes. I was feeling it on my left side yesterday but today it's in my right. Has anyone felt this before?

Not sure if it's the same, but I feel like mine is stretching whenever I try to straighten up later in the day. I just lie in the bed and massage around it with castor oil. It usually feels better for a little bit anyway. Maybe it's a sign of healing...hopefully!
I've had the weird sensations too. I believe it's just healing but massage does help :)
