2 Years Post Op - Maryland

UPDATED FROM Skinnywaist
2 years post

2 years post op

WORTH IT$10,300
2 years post op now from a tummy tuck. I have gained and lost +/-15 lbs post tummy tuck, yes I know. I'm currently up 10 lbs from my goal. I just hired a personal trainer to kick my ass. At this point, I'm just hoping to not gain anymore weight b/c the holiday season is coming up. My tummy still looks amazing. This procedure was totally worth it. When I'm up on the scale I look softer in the tummy and fuller in the flanks. When I'm down on the scale I look tight and toned. A tummy tuck is not weight loss surgery, just loose skin removal and muscle tightening. For anyone considering plastic surgery, be sure you're doing this for you. Make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon and in good standing with your state's medical board. Follow your surgeon's instructions. Talk to your surgeon if you have questions or concerns. And if you live in the MD, DC, VA area, I totally recommend Dr. Adam Tattelbaum.

I love Dr. Tattelbaum!!! He is talented and amazing! My results are hands down fantastic! The recovery can be challenging at times but he does a great job at managing expectations and preparing you for what's next. His office is beautiful and his staff are all completely wonderful. Dr. T is charming and humble. There is a down to earth, easy to talk to feeling that he brings into the room which I find calming and so refreshing. He is a real person with a big heart. He knows how to make you look and feel good. I met with five plastic surgeons for consultations. Dr. Tattelbaum was my favorite after seeing other patient's before and after pictures of his on this site, reading their stories and then my consult with him was informative with no sales pressure. He answered all of my questions with realistic expectations for my body. He clearly explained how he would do my tummy tuck. After surgery, he personally called to follow up. He genuinely cares about his patients and has a wonderful manner. Highly recommend!

I'm in the same spot as you :).  I've gained and lost so many times, just like before the surgery ;).  I'm 8 pounds over my ideal now, but at least the holidays are not special-food days for us, so I expect it'll be the same struggle as always, instead of an impossible one!  You still look great, though, of course, and your scar is fantastic.  I've always been impressed by Dr. T's scars.
Thank you TwoPlusOne!
Looking good Skinnywaist :) I'm just past the 2 year mark and finally had my revision last Friday. A different surgeon as mine just left (which I was glad about) and he said he's pretty much done the whole thing all over again calling it a mini tummy tuck and no muscle repair this time thank the lord because that pain we something else!. I still need to post pictures. Good to see your update :) X
Thank you! Good to hear from you too, I love bags and shoes! Yes, please post pics when you can. Sorry you had to repeat with another surgery. Glad you are doing well!
I'm one year today! You look great :)
Thank you AmyS33! You look great too!
:-)
You look amazing! The scars are hardly visible which is so encouraging for us future tummy tuckers. And it's good to see that the results last.
Thank you!! Yes, my PS told me the results will be long lasting, as long as I don't get pregnant again or gain too much weight. Good luck to you!
You look fabulous!
Thank you AccordionAbs! Good luck to you!

Hi , I'm doing very well. I'm up 10 lbs on the scale but I was up a little more and have lost a few lbs so I'm headed in the right direction. My tummy is still flat. Yay! My weight gain is showing up in my arms, legs, butt and back. I will try to post again in a couple months when I'm back at my goal weight. Happy healing to everyone.

Even up in weight, you look great!  Shapely instead of overweight.  You still have the skinny waist for sure :).  I'm recovering from my revision now and the swelling has obscured any waist I had.  Blah.  But I wanted this revision…hopefully the swelling will go away and everything will look great again!

Thanks for the update!
Thank you!
Congratulations, you look great! Having read all of your journey, it real feels like you got your sassy back :-) Can you, please, post some pics of your scar? Thanks.
Thank you. Yes! I will post new pictures soon. And I will show my scar.
Your results are fantastic! Dr. T did a wonderful job!
Thank you!

You look fabulous, Skinnywaist! Nice to be so far down the surgery road, isn't it? Some days I even forget I had a tummy tuck. (Until I look down and see my flat abs!!) I'll be doing a 10 month post op report in two weeks. Glad you're doing so well, and are happy. Take care :)
Thank you, you too MamaRuns!
Great to see you're keeping up your results! Your BB is so cute! So happy for you :D
Thank you!
You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you! It was very therapeutic to share my story!
You look great! :)

Looking fantastic!! Hard to believe it's been 11 months since our tummy tucks isnt it?
Thank you! Yes.
