My long awaited tummy tuck journey

Hello RS, today was my 3 week check up and everything is going great. The scars are healing, but it seems that I am getting some new stretch marks (maybe). I kind of expected this because I have terrible skin elasticity. Honestly, I am okay with this. My main goal was to remove the excess skin and not have to hide my stomach every time I sit down or exercise. This has been taken care of, so I am very happy. My doctor mentioned micro-needling after I am all healed from the TT. I am curious if anyone else has had stretch marks improved using this or any other method. Most of my stretch marks are over 20 years old... I only have a few new ones (or at least... I think they are new), but may not be. Let me know if any of you have had success or failures with stretch mark treatments, please...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to post a quick update on my tummy tuck and liposuction progress. This morning I stood up straight for the first time in weeks!!!!! That felt amazing. I haven’t had to use a heating pad on my back for a few days, which is a major improvement.
I still have yellowing and soreness in the flank area, but it’s slowly improving. My next appointment is Tuesday, so I’m going to be sure and talk to my PS about this.

My legs are looking pretty good after the liposuction, but I think that I will need to have more once I heal from this. I will probably try to get them fit through exercise first, but I’m not sure that will be enough. I will get some leg pictures posted in the next few days.

I am trying to continue to eat healthy and take all my supplements, but have to admit that I have had some wine at night and cookies and cream ice cream a few times... ???? I know this is boredom eating and drinking... and I’m okay with it as long as it doesn’t interfere with my results in the end. I haven’t drove yet, so it’s been almost 3 weeks of sitting at home, except for doctors appointments... ???? I just keep telling myself that I am half way there!!!!! ????
