After years of diet and up and down weight, finally picked a better lifestyle that I could maintain. But the belly/pouch not leaving. Mass a decision to make myself feel better. So I chose a doctor and decided on a drainless tummy tuck and liposuction. Can't wait to see what the outcome will be! Here we go

Howdy ! In just turned 48, and 5'4". My weight was kinda high but my muscle mass was at 23% so felt things wouldn't change a ton in the. Ext years ! Swelling is still quite prevalent. More pictures coming in the week, but so far so good !

Here is the best tip for anyone! Rent a power recliner for two weeks . RAC does it and it cost me $70 for three weeks. Best investment in recovery ever !

If I do a TT can I still do sit ups?

They are much easier without the excess skin! Yes! You can . But I am 2months out and have just started planks as a beginning point. I am 8 weeks out . Some swelling when I do too much. But that should start to disappear soon

Can I ask what your starting weight is? I am considering getting one too but I do wonder if I'll look okay afterwards because I'm chunky lol

Love, love, love the drainless TT. Glad you did it . The pain will soon be gone and you'll be on your way to all the normal clothes you ever only thought about wearing!

If the pain could just reside and I could find away to be comfortable. Then maybe more Palatable

I hear the lipo pain is the worst. I didn't have any so I didn't have any pain.

Day 5 - first doctor follow up

Going to the doctor for post surgery Follow up. Was allowed to shower yesterday but the surgical tape is pulling at areas so figured I would see her first before showering. Fingers crossed, seems to be getting better!
