WORTH IT$5,000
Well I am 2 months post op and feeling great. I still have internal pain from the muscle repair and I still get swollen by the end of the day but overall my scar looks fantastic. I went last week to have a stitch removed that was opopping through the incision line. I will likely need revision surgery in a few months, there is a small dog ear on my right side at the end of the scar line and the PS feels he may have left too much skin in the pubic area. I have to agree with him, it puddles when I sit down and I feel like it sticks out further than it should. It seems noticable to me although I am not sure everyone else notices. At first I wasn't keen on having any more surgery but I figure I paid to have this done and I should be 100% staisfied with the results. I can't believe how great I feel in clothes now. It truly is night and day. I will post some newer photos (Just gotta get ahold of my hubby's IPhone). I finally invested in some new pretty panties and more bathing suits than I have ever owned in my life!!!!
Hope all is well with my fellow Tummy Tuckers out there!

I am one month PO now and starting to feel like oldself, just better! I am so not used to the newer, improved body I now have. I bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans the other day. I could do up the 8 but just felt better in the 10. That is such a huge difference over the sixe 16/18 that I was wearing a year and a half ago. I have finally followed through with something. I set my eyes on my goal and although there were struggles I am happy with my progress. I really want to start on the treadmill but have been quite sore from the muscle repair. I think that I should start soon anyways but I vaccummed for the first time the other day and paid for it dearly. I guess waiting for another week won't kill me. It is time to start watching my points again on WW. I need to jog off these inner thighs and turkey neck arms! Bought a new bathing suit the other day, I am completly different sizes on the top and bottom, hoping that evens out more as I continue to lose weight. I have always been top heavy, it just got more even over the years!
Will try to post some new pictures soon!

Well, time flies when you are a busy working mom...
Well, time flies when you are a busy working mom of three busy boys. I am pretty much able to do just about everything on my own now, with the exception of vaccuuming and a few other heavier household chores. I am going to start back on the treadmill again tonight, wish me luck! I am working full time. I find that I tucker out by about 2:00, that is when the overwhelming tired feeling hits. Just gotta push through and keep on going! I still find the mid afternoon swelling quite incredible, and even though I think it will feel better without the binder for awhile, it is amazing how quickly my tummy and back hurt. So, CG it is for awhile longer. Think I may need to go back in this week to have my pubic area drained again.....not looking forward to it and hoping that I don't have to but the alternative is not fun either! Bought my first bikini undies in about 15 years, oh what a feeling! Saw some family this weekend and everyone couldn't get over my transformation. A lot of them haven't seen me since I lost weight never mind the TT. I have to admit I am not comfortable with the attention, made me feel kind of embarrased. WEIRD.

Did you have drains?? It appears you did not...is that why you had to go get drained??

Yes I had to hip drains that stayed in for 6 days, this is the after swelling that seems to be collecting in my nether regions! Going again on Thursday to have it done again!
