I know it's early days and my boyfriend keeps telling me to stop doing this to myself but he hasn't actually seen my stomach with padding and stuff off..

I had my first post op app today.. So first time I've seen everything. And now I can't stop crying.. What have I done to myself? I can't believe I've done this to myself.. My belly button.. It's numb but the worst weird feeling ever and looks sooo bad.. I Dnt actually think I will be able to wear a bikini ever again. I feel stupid and upset that I've mutilated myself.. My own fault I know.. That's the worst thing

You will see improvements in every way weekly, and definitely monthly, but you won't even see the final results for a year! My goodness, it is WAY too early to be upset...you don't even have any idea what your bellybutton or any other part of you will end up looking like. If you cannot atop crying and are freaking out, maybe you could consider seeking help for depression/anxiety? Maybe some meds foe those could help you get over the hump until you have more time to heal? Also take a look at pics of your tummy from before...it always helped me to remember where I started from, with saggy loose skin and muscles....

Nope. Not whatsoever. I was actually quite delighted to have my tummy finally fixed and my muscles repaired and a big hunk of skin and fat cut off. It was the most wonderful thing I have ever done for myself, and I haven't regretted it for a minute! This was a long time coming, and after 4 kids and a terrible divorce, it was finally my turn to do something for myself. :-)

Wow !! I've just looked at ur pics and wow!! U look amazing !! I hope I get results like u guys. But I didn't have muscle repair as my ps said my muscles were good (even though I've got 3 kids) but when researching on here and the net there's not a lot of cases with no MR with individuals with kids. So I even said to him before my surgery maybe u should just tighten anyway.. But he said I wouldn't benefit from it. I do trust him, my friend had one with him but again she had muscle repair because he said to her her muscles are separated. Oh well I guess only time will tell. Well u look sexy already ;)

Don't fret. It's waaaaay too early to tell. I'm 14 days p.o today and am just now seeing some of that black rocky stuff clear away. Once that's gone I'll see what I'm working with. I'm sure you won't know for a while either. Give yourself time to heal and don't be so hard on yourself. We're here for you gurl.

Feel so much better today 10daysPO

Eskay82November 5, 2013
I feel absolutely fine about everything today. I think seeing a big belly button and also a third scar.. A vertical one, closure of old belly button as there was not enough skin to pull down made it look a lot worse than the pictures I have been seeing on here. Freaked me out a little bit. But Yh I guess I have to heal and wait. ;)

I haven't gone through my surgery but I've read enough to know that it's always bad before it get better. The best thing to do is take care of your body while it's healing. Drink lots of water, listen to your doctors instructions, rest bunches and certainly don't over do it. Keep your eye on the prize! Sounds like you had different expectations. It helps to look at pics of other TTers that started with a similar body shape ;))

Hiya. Thanks for you comment. I had been looking into this for over a year. So I knew what my expectations were.. I just guess its different once you actually do it.. Well for me personally. But I felt fine about everything the day after I write this review. But again I haven't seen scars since. So I hope my positivity remains once I see wounds again. Countdwn to your tt begins :D I shall keep a look out on your profile as I would love to see your results ;)
