I am so happy i went thru with this procedure! I had an extended full tummy tuck with muscle repair. The PS indicated he removed 7 lbs of excess skin!! More than my 2 kids weighed at birth! I got the ok to workout at my 3 weeks, but i started at 3 weeks and 6 days.I started with 30 minutes and feel i can do more but its real tight so im listening to my body.. My goal is to maintain this flat stomach and eventually be able to get some definition. I already feel so much more confident in how i look and feel, there was never a moment i questioned why i did this. I was sooo happy since day 1, and thank god for this blessing!

Soooo, today was my one month post op visit(im 5 weeks) and the PS was so content with how my results have turned out. No complications, no seromas, no infection, etc. I of course told him i am satisfied with how im looking and how my scar is so far. I am still a little swollen but that is to be expected because it can take up to 6 months to see my final results! He weighed me which I was not expecting since i am still swollen, and i have lost 13lbs since the surgery morning!! Keep in mind i just started working out a week ago at 4 weeks! I got the ok to do sit ups or any kind of exercise just listen to my body and not push myself too much. I am very pleased and would recommend my PS to anybody. I am more than determined to keep looking good and only get better! I love that i went thru with this and have healed smoothly. Follow my journey on youtube as well! greyes0708. Happy Healing!!!! : )
