After 100 pounds lost and twins I really need this tummy tuck and lipo on hips. Surgery is soon and getting nervous. Hope it's not as painful as I think it will be. Doctor said it would take 3 hours. I've uploaded 2 before pictures. I will upload more pictures and how I'm doing after surgery. I hope everything goes good.

Praying for your surgery tomorrow. I see you are 100 pounds loser just wanted to say congrats! Your belly looks ( not for long) just like mine did before surgery. I will be following your progress and wanted let you know that the first week will go by pretty fast just rest and let others take care of you.

Thanks so much. I'm getting nervous and hoping the pain is not too bad.

Your stomach looked very much like mine but I think I had a more severe case of Diastasis Recti. Now post op day 6, flat stomach, great scar line..... will post pics once I am up and about fully. One thing I highly recommend is to recover in a recliner chair. Wish I had know about it prior to my surgery.

Two days pain then you will see a marked difference in your recuperation

Ok. I have a recliner and I will try it out. I bought a pillow so I can sit up in my bed. I"m hoping it will work because I don't think I will be comfortable in my recliner.

I'm hoping I don't have to take the pain pills for long. I don't like the way they make me feel.

I know what you mean about the pills I have stopped taking them, they were suppressing my breathing and also the corset. I am managing with Tyenol regular extra strength. Try not to let yourself get constipated. Every makes a very huge difference honest .

The doctor gave me some meds to make me go if I have trouble.

May I ask your pre-surgery weight? I feel we have very similar body shapes and i sure hope my results will look like yours!
