WORTH IT$9,000
I am just shy of 2 weeks post op after having a fleur de lis tummy tuck to remove excess skin post 130lb weight loss. I am truly thrilled with my resulst thus far and I still have lots of healing to do! I had very minimal pain with my surgery, the most difficult part was the post surgery nausea from the anesthesia. From now on I will need to stress that I am very sensitive to anesthesia because I was very sick from it for the better part of 24hrs even with anti-nausea meds in my system. Trust me when I say having the dry heaves post abdominoplasty is no fun at all. The bulk of my discomfort came from my drain and I was so glad to have it removed day 10 post op. Since having it removed I feel mostly normal, aside from the swelling, which is probably a good thing because it reminds me to rest and take it easy. I have had very little discomfort aside from swelling. As a recommendationd if you are considering abdominal surgery, i got myself a little walker because my lower back was getting sore from being hinched over the first few days, it was a fantastic investment. I acquired it secondhand for $20 and it had a little seat which was perfrct if i was doing my walking and wanted to rest.
The photo I am posting is just 3 days post op, I'll post more once I heal a bit more. My surgeon Dr. John Brosious couldn't have been nicer and is so talented and meticulous. He is a caring man that treated me like a human being instead of a number. He made me feel reassured and confident in his work from beginning to end. I will be utilizing him for the 2nd half of my work as well (thighs/arms) and I highly recommend him.

How is your recovery going? Were you able to be active one month out?

I feel 90% normal now, I wasn't allowed to do anything active aside from walking for 6 weeks to allow the blood vessels to heal. I am so happy with my results and being 2.5 months post op I can do pretty much everything I want, I began snowboarding around the 8 week mark and was a little swollen in the evening but not bad at all. This past weekend I had no issues snowboarding and snoeshoeing. Hope this helps!
