WORTH IT
I'm a mother of two daughters ages 23 and 19. I was told after the birth of my first daughter, the only way to get rid of the extra skin is to have it surgically removed. At first , I didn't believe the doctor who told me this . After many years of dieting and exercising , I came to realize the doctor was absolutely right. So, I decided to get a tummy tuck.
I'm two weeks post surgery. I don't know how to feel about this. I knew I would have SOME down time with some pain but never what I'm experiencing. I thought I would be up and showing off my flat stomach and cute belly button within two weeks ... Boy was I wrong!
Hopefully, I don't regret having this surgery. ????

Week 2 post op
Beginning to see some contouring of the waist. The right side seems to be more swollen than the left side. I hope it's just the way my body is healing. Has anyone else had this problem , where one side healed faster than the other side? #prayingfortherightsidetocatchupwiththeleftside

Yes my right side is more swollen. The nurse told me it is because I sleep primarily on my right side. Not sure I buy that. I am a little over 2 months post op and still wondering if I did the right thing

I think we are a little naïve and Impatient at the beginning of our recovery. I happy about getting rid of the apron . I'm just not happy with the way my body is healing. I know I'm not going to be perfect BUT I want to be close to in as possible.

Hi! You look great so far! What is that gold thing that's in your belly button I want to know cause I just had a tummy tuck a month ago and was wondering what that is in yours your bellybutton looks great

Thank you! What you see in my belly button is a piece of gauze from surgery. My doctor did give me something to put inside my belly to shape it.

Yep, I had the same thoughts before my surgery. This is a long recovery process that required patience. You will get there so hang on. It can't be rushed so pamper and baby yourself for the first 4-6 weeks. You won't regret having this surgery. I feel like it was one of the best things I ever did for myself.
