Feeling Good!
Its been 11 months now since my surgery and I'm loving my body. I could not have asked for better results. I also love my scar, its so low and fits perfectly under any size bikini. Which is so exciting in itself, I've never in my life worn a two piece until this year, and I have flaunted my body this summer at the beach without a bit of shame, and thats with big flabby thighs and all, but I was Still so proud of my stomach I didn't care! Highly recommend Dr Zoellner!

I am almost 3 months. Did you have swelling everyday and if so when did it go away and as for the pulling. It is so uncomfortable at night. whend does it finally go away/

My swelling was there but not as noticeable as some of the other people I've seen. Its hard for me to say because I think in my mind I thought the swelling was gone long before it actually was. It was more of a realization after the fact for me of how thick I looked for a long time vs. when I started to notice a difference. As far as the tightness... It lasted a while, maybe 6 months.. Hard to say because it gradually goes away with time. At this point I'm a year out and I don't feel any tightness at all. It's all worth it in the long run, even if it is a long recovery. Congrats on your tummy tuck! ;)

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it. I am glad this tightness will eventually go away.

Everyone heals differently so you may have swelling for a prolonged period of time..me personally I am 6.5 weeks out and swell pretty heavily depending on clothing and activity level..the annoying part for me is the asymmetric swelling (my right side blows up more than the left) but even now this last few days I have noticed a decrease in overall swelling for me - and I am waking up a little more flat.
