Wow! Where has the time gone? My stomach is...
WORTH IT$7,100
Wow! Where has the time gone? My stomach is finally not hurting as much. I can still feel my stomach muscles when I cough or sneeze, but it is much better. I am back to doing ab workouts and am feeling almost 100%. We just got back from our cruise where I wore a bikini for the first time since having kids. It was wonderful!!! I still don't like my belly button, but my doctor won't fix that until 6 months post op. I am thrilled with my results and love not looking pregnant. Thinking of all my fellow tt's out there.

Hi all. Life has gotten in the way of me updating...
Hi all. Life has gotten in the way of me updating my review. I cannot believe it has been a month since my tt! I am very happy with my results. I am hoping the stretch marks and belly button still calm down, but otherwise no complaints! I haven't had much swelling. The only issue I still have is that it hurts like heck to cough and sneeze. I am looking forward to that going away. Magically at week 4 I tried running and it didn't hurt. I was so happy to get back to sweating again! I am thrilled with my results and am so happy I did this for myself. I hope my fellow November tummy tuckers are recovering well! Happy holidays all! I love the gift I got myself :)

Hi runnermom,
I'm 3/12 weeks post-op and I ran for the first time this past Sunday and I ran again today. I only did 2 miles plus 20 minutes on the elliptical,but it felt wonderful to get the heart rate up again.

Its been 11 days since my surgery! Wow how time...
Its been 11 days since my surgery! Wow how time flies. I am feeling stronger each day. I had my second post op appointment this afternoon. I was worried that I would be retaining fluids since he took out my drains at day 6, but it is all good :). I am still swollen, so I am anxious for that to let up!
I returned to work today. It was exhausting, but I have an office job so it wasn't too bad. My ps said I could start working out again in 3 days. I'm not sure I will be ready yet. I am still walking hunched over! My ps is very liberal!
I hope everyone is healing well. I will post new pictures this week.

Runner, if you don't mind my asking, how are you handling the exhaustion at work?

December 8, 2011
Hi Kathe. Amazingly I haven't been too tired at work. I have a desk job, so it isn't very tiring. I do sleep well at night :)

Runner, I'm glad to hear that! You are a lucky girl that the Swelling Monster isn't torturing you much. Thank goodness!
