I did a lot yesterday and I'm regretting it today. The doctor said I can start exercising once I'm 4 weeks out, but I'm assuming cardio only. I'm really swollen, but here are some pics. I'll update this with more once the swelling goes down more.

Just had last drain and stitches removed

I went in to have my last drain and my belly button stitches removed today. The doctor says I can shower tonight, but I kinda want to wait until tomorrow, until the area the drain was in heals closed a bit. It didn't hurt having the drain or stitches removed, it just felt really wormy and gross. The stitches that held the drain in place stung a bit coming out, but it was only for a second. I'm still numb in random areas of my stomach, except where I was cut. It's kind of a gross feeling when you touch it. I'm funny about my stomach ( I couldn't handle keeping a belly button piercing in without getting grossed out) so I get queasy when I touch the numb areas right now. I will post pictures as soon as I have a shower and show the results tomorrow. I am still swollen, unfortunately, but that will get better with time. :)

Thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to share your results! Did you get lipo on your flanks as well? Thanks

I didn't ask for lipo, but I think he did a bit on me because I was bruised and really sore on the sides after surgery. I really didn't ask him if they did or not. I guess that's a question for my next appointment.

Thanks and congrats to you too! We are over the hardest parts so far! I wish I was brave enough to have my breasts done at the same time, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING, lol. ;) How bad was it to have your breast done? I'm getting a lift and implants after I'm done healing. What hurt worse?

The tummy tuck hurt worse than my Breasts but I didn't have implants so I can't really say. I've heard getting implants feels like your muscles are sore and skin burning from stretching??? I'm not sure.

My sister had implants done years ago, but that was the only surgery she's had so far. She's getting a tummy tuck and her implants exchanged out from saline to silicon in a few months, after she delivers her surrogate twins. She said implants don't hurt THAT bad, but they do hurt. She just couldn't lift her arms up for a few weeks and walked hunched over. She got I think a full D, but she started with an A, so it was a big difference to her. She still complains about her back hurting from the weight of them. I'm only getting about one size larger than I have (maybe a full C ) so nothing too big. I was just more concerned with the lift part. Is your scar pretty hidden in a bra / bikini and did you lose any feeling? I'm so concerned with losing the feeling in my nipple, lol. The front of my tummy is still dead numb and feels like a sack of flesh hanging off. It makes me sick to touch it or brush against it, so I couldn't imagine my breasts feeling the same way. It sucks I didn't just tough it out and do everything at once, because now I have to dread this coming up. I wish plastic surgery was more simple. If it was I'd get it all the time ;)

Before and after pics

Here are some before and after pics of my tummy tuck with Dr Stile. I will post new photos after my swelling goes down. Oh and I meant to mention, the garment they provide is very comfortable and easy to take on and off. It has adjustable straps around the neck that can be made to go over the shoulders (if you prefer it that way). It zips on the left side and hooks around the crotch. It's black so it goes with everything. I actually just wore it with a black bra and some shorts around the house and it just looked like I was wearing a black top. It provides the perfect amount of pressure to make you feel secure. Super comfy. :)

Did u just get a TT? I've been looking for a vegas doctor.

Hi, yes, I had a TT done. Me and my sister are both seeing Dr Frank Stile here in Vegas. He's the only doctor I would trust for that. We have looked at before and after pics of results for other surgeons, and he seems to be the only one that has perfected the belly button. Other surgeons leave most patients with a fake looking and / or disgusting one that looks cut out. Plus his office is on top of everything you need and you never have to wait when you have questions, concerns or need a refill for meds. His consults are free, so I would for sure schedule one if you are looking around. His prices are also the best in town for tummy tucks. ;)

M
March 27, 2015
Yay! How exciting!! My pre surgery weight was 170lbs, so you aren't to far off. They said they removed 5lbs of skin and fat, but with swelling and water retention, I'm 178lbs today. I know you aren't suppose to weigh yourself, but I was curious, lol.

Make sure you drink lots and lots of water and look up what vitamins to take to prepare for surgery. They run lots of tests before surgery and were concerned because my blood pressure was elevated. I was dehydrated when I went in for testing 2 weeks before surgery and that caused it to be up. I couldn't imagine rescheduling surgery because of something like that. They make you stop all vitamins and stuff a couple weeks before surgery, but I was told taking certain vitamins, before they stop you and after surgery, will help you heal faster. They give you Arnica to take for the night before and a few days after surgery to help with swelling and stuff. Make sure you take those before eating anything and I would open the capsules and pour it in your mouth. It tastes like raw sugar lol.
