Back to "normal", just getting used to new belly...its wierd when you've had a bulge there to just have it gone. One thing I noticed is my love handles bigger than they have ever been I don't think I've ever had love handles! But not a huge deal...OH and major good news, much of the excess fat looking to resettle somewhere with my belly gone happens to be going to my boobs!! My husband's happy, lol..I feel like I got a belly and a boob job for 3k :) now I need to get back to the gym more...I've been slacking!

Obey well spent, 3G was a very good deal. Money aside, are you happy you stuck with the mini?

Yea so far. I didn't have much loose skin that really bothered me above my belly button, my main deformity was that big hanging blob low down. I kind of wrestled with which one to do...we have 4 kids and one about to get 4k worth of braces, I would have spent 6k on the full...it just didn't seem worth it given our situation. And now, I still feel the same way...but again I didn't have a ton of loose skin hanging above my belly or stretch marks. One other thing I noticed post tummy tuck, I have some stretch marks now right above incision that weren't there before, not really noticeable, but I think it's just from stretching the skin down....if we had done a full, the stretching would have been significantly more which I'm guessing would result in more stretch marks? But who knows....I'm happy...I feel like I got a hell of a deal! :)

I'm worried about stretch marks after too. (I'm having a full TT soon.) Every doc I talked to said the risk of new stretch marks was minimal, but intuition tells me otherwise. Sounds like you made a good desicion you look great.

Most of the glue is gone, I had put strios over the scar also and removed by now. I'm amazed at how light the scar looks. I thought I would be horrified by its appearance but its not sao bad. My husband thinks I look great and doesn't notice my scar at all...and it feels great to be able to wear clothes without my big bulgy belly hanging out . I'm still not used to the feeling of not having it there...after 8 1/2 years of it! I definately feel fuller eating less food...I've list maybe 6 pounds...but I'm also not working out at all. Sime of the wrinkling in the corners of the tuck I think will smooth out over time. Very happy so far! Moving around easily, sleeping better...stomach still sore a bit but it doesn't stop me from day routine now...just no exercising yet...hopefully in the next month :)
