Week 8 update

8 weeks today and still have lots of swelling in my lower abs. Scars looking better at my breast and TT.. It will take sometimes to get back on track. Very frustrating progress in my opinion. I am having a hart time to get my strength back in the gym and everyday life. Not seeing the progress I hoped for with the MODIFIED TT. I should have done better research. If I look back I wish I have never done it. The pain is NOT worth the outcome, at least not for me for the little bit of lose skin I had.

Yep!! I have it to!!! It's been said, " mini tuck, mini results!" I am a year out and I want a revision!!! I knew in my heart that I needed a full!! I went with the modified mini, but it wasn't enough! Now I have to pay for it all over again! $$$ Out of pocket, and going thru yet another recovery!! It effects not just me, but my family and my job! Very disheartening!!!!
It is frustrating!!!! I'm so sorry this happened to you!!!

Omg! You brave. I can't do it again. The recovery was way to hart. So much pain. I can't do it. I am a fitness trainer and I will concentrate again in losing the weight I gained w recovery. I guess the little bit off lose skin I had, I should just left it alone :-((( so frustrating. I wish you all the best w going at round 2...

Frustrating!!!! You want what you want!!!!
Give yours more time!!! It's still very fresh!!! If I looked like you, I would be thrilled

i had a full tummy tuck... and I had vaso lip... I didn't need the lipo for fat reduction but to help tighten the skin.... maybe this is something you can look into to help tighten the skin.... recovery time is not to bad either

what is a modified TT? Is that like a mini? Did he tell you to expect this? That must be frustrating, I am sorry. What does the skin tightening sessions do? I thought that is what the surgery did? I think he should have told you that you needed a full TT if this was going to be a problem, I would be frustrated too. Stay strong, you will figure it out.
