12 weeks!
WORTH IT$6,401
I can hardly believe 12 weeks has passed since my tummy tuck. I am feeling good and so glad I did this. My day to day activities are completely back to normal now. The numb area on my stomach seems to be getting a tiny bit smaller over time. I still have swelling above my belly button, but from what I understand, the swelling will go on for a while longer. It's not terrible, but just enough to notice it.
It is snowing / sleeting here again today. I am so ready for Spring!

10 weeks, covered in snow
We are covered in snow here in Georgia. No, we don't like it.

Isn't this weather so weird??? Stay warm!! :)
Me too, tryna shed a few extra pounds before my appointment so I know if I need lipo in my tummy. I'm about 3 months po and my doc said I had up to six months if I need them to lipo the area
Yeah, my doc said the same thing. I am not too keen on another painful procedure though.
Keep warm!! This is crazy weather.
I am ready for spring already!
You are looking wonderful! Are you wearing your binder? Being stuck in the house from this weather sucks but I think I will try a workout video!! When did you start crunches?
My doc released me to do ab work at 2 months, so it was January 19th. We were in San Antonio at that time, so I actually started them a few days later when we got back.
Yeah, this weather situation is nuts. I hope we get some thawing going on today. The hose for our pool vacuum cleaner broke because it is so cold. I don't think I've ever seen a winter this cold here!
Oh, and I stopped wearing my binder at 4 weeks. occasionally I will wear a spanx type tank top after working out or when I feel more swollen than usual.
Hello dbg, glad you are still going great. Gee your bb is nice, so natural. We are cooking like a roast here in Australia, never had one so hot before. Climate change is upon us all for sure.
I covet your hot weather! It is snowing - sleeting here again today! This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks. Seems like every three years or so we get snow or ice. Usually we have pretty mild winters here in the Southeastern US.

10 weeks
I am feeling good at 10 weeks. I started the weight machines again, and am able to do crunches with no problem. I have also started weight watchers to lose a few more lbs. by the time I go back to the doctor in April I want to have a good idea of whether or not I am going to need lipo.
Guess what? When I flex my abs I can actually see it now! I have abs, who knew?
My belly is still numb, but the numb area does seem to be decreasing slowly. My stitches must be dissolved now, and I had very few of them that my body pushed out and I had to remove myself. The right side of my scar seems to be lumpier than the left side which is pretty flat. I don't really care about the scar though, my main concern was getting rid of the skin apron.

Wow you can do crunches? I couldn't do crunches until I was 4 months post op! Great shape and I have bb envy....:)
Thank you. I like the bb a lot. Doc gave me a cute bb!
Wow looking good
Love the definition
How much you weighing now Hun? What dress size are you in?
I'm on ww too want to loose 7-10lbs
Where are you thinking of lipo?
I wear a 12 in pants, but usually have to get at least a 14 in dresses because my boobs are so big! I'm super sensitive about my weight, so I'm not going there!
Oh, and I am thinking of lipo on my hips. Hopefully I won't need it though.
Lookin good!
Thank you!
You are looking really great! Good for you!
Thank you. I got my first 2 piece bathing suit since 1989 the other day! My stomach hasn't been exposed to the sun in so long it will probably burn pretty quick!
Hahaha...I feel the same way about wearing one after my tt too! About 3.5 weeks left yikes!!
You are looking really good. What is your goal weight?
Less
Honestly, 20 lbs less would be fine.
You can do it!!
Thank you, I needed that today!
We all need a little boost every so often.
