WORTH IT$6,000
Had 5 pregnancies one of which twins - lost 70 pounds after the last baby but no matter how small I got and how much I worked out my stomach wouldnt flatten and I could NOT get anything close to a 6 pack. Also I had a hernia that kept bulging out after it was fixed 2mths prior to the TT. Im done with babies and its just time to get my body back. Plus I needed the hernia fixed and some scar tissue removed anyway so it was the perfect time to do it!! So far healing has gone very well and I am so happy!

5 week post op
Everything is healing great. Scars are looking good. I still have some pain in the top part of the muscle above the belly button thats sore. Also a lot of numbness in my whole abdomen. Still cant lift more then 20lbs but I forget sometimes bc I am doing all the normal stuff I forget I still have limitations. Also still have to sleep propped with pillows under head and feet. But i do stand straight and walk great its just the numbness that gets me at night if i am not elevated. Applying Scar guard 2 times daily. And still wearing my spanx for a little longer bc I have some extra swelling on my lower abdomen so that helps control it. Feeling great overall.

Any chance you would share some before photos? Your belly button placement looks similar to mine and my Dr. is worried about having enough skin to pull all the way down for the full tummy tuck. You look awesome! Your results are what I am looking for.

I am so mad at myself that I didnt think to do before pics on my own. I will try and get them from my Dr when I see him next in a few weeks. Im sorry - maybe I will look in my old pics from a couple yrs ago that would help you at least for now. Ya I didnt have enough skin so thats the scar just above my low vertical incision. But if it doesnt heal well I can get it revised in a year, no biggy! My friend just had hers revised and its totally gone now, so I wouldnt worry too much about it! :) thanks for the kind words, i am worried about my lower belly because its more swollen but i know it takes months for the swelling to totally go away! Good luck, I have NO regrets, love it :)

You are looking good, how are you feeling now?
