My 12 week post pics!!!
WORTH IT$7,900
Oh my goodness!! I can hardly believe it has been three months! Actually December 7th will make 4 months! I'm late getting these pics up but I found out today that my plastic surgeons office decided to use my before and afters for their website! I'm so glad to be able to encourage anyone looking to have this done. I remember looking through Dr. Davis' B&As 2 years ago dreaming of what it would be like to have this tummy tuck done and be able to move on with my life. Never did I dream that I would be able to be on the website and an encouragement for patients to come. I can't say enough about Dr Glenn Davis and his amazing staff! My nurse Jenna literally felt like family and I was sad to be done with appointments ;) They were all so professional but at the same time so personal. Dr Davis told me (with a big smile) when he saw me at my last appointment, "go live your life!" I could tell in that moment that he genuinely loves what he does. The passion and experience is what makes him the best. I couldn't be more pleased with my results. I have very little swelling and zero pain! Most people stated their concerns that he does drainless but honestly I think it made my recovery faster. I only had to wear the binder for about 4-6 weeks and I was pretty much back to my old self! The most pain I had was from the lipo and that bruised feeling did longer a while but boy was it all worth it!! This will most likely be my last post until I hit the one year mark so best of luck to all of you who are yet to be on the "flat side"! God bless!

3 weeks!
I can't believe it's been three weeks! I feel like night and day compared to last week. I feel almost completely back to normal! Even the swelling is nothing like before. I do feel like I've been sneezing more lol. Like my body is playing some sort of cruel trick on me lol! Maybe just maybe the day will ever come that I can enjoy a nice sneeze again! TTers totally get this!! I'm still sleeping like a bear in a cave of pillows :/ tried sleeping on my side and it's just too painful :( my incision is all healed up but my sides still have that bruised feeling. Oh well! All in all I am a happy camper! I've had some ppl bring some discouragement but you have to ignore the negative ones and surround yourself with support! The emotion roller coaster seems to be coming to an end and I'm feeling like I'm back to my old self :) well I will check back in at 6 weeks! Take you guys and happy healing to those of you who are heading this way or are already there!!

Lol I warned my kids that if I sneezed I would yell and not to be alarmed. My little one just got sick and I'm hoping I don't catch it. Please no!!

You look fantastic! So glad to hear that you're feeling better. Emotion turmoil, to me, is worse than physical pain. You've got this!!!

16 days post and feeling great....today :)
I have to admit I have waves of emotions, from happy to sad and everything between. What a roller coaster. I have noticed though that my better days are when the swelling is down :) so I'm going to post a pic of today because I'm feeling pretty today. My heart is just so happy to have this major hurdle behind me. I've not been sleeping the greatest but I think I'm just tired of sleeping on my back inside this cave of pillows I use to support me :) I've tried to resume laying on my side but it's still too painful. I've been able to drive and do some light housework but i do compensate with plenty of down time in the bed after. Swelling is an up and down thing as we all know and I will be so glad to have it behind me. That's all I can think if right now but just wanted to update!

You look awesome! I'm 5 days post op. the swelling sucks! Yes I'm surprised how this surgery wears you out. I can get up for about a half hour, have some time with my 2 year old, then I'm back in the recliner feeling like I just ran a 5k!!

Thank you! Yay for your 5 days post! I was starting to feel somewhat human again at that point. I promise it will get so much better! The swelling is SO annoying! My youngest is two and I can sympathize with you on not being about to be up for long periods of time. So hard to have to stay in the recliner but will be so worth it in the end! Your results are fantastic! Congrats to you on your flat tummy! Happy healing :)

I am 2 months post opt and am so happy with my results. I think it took me about 2 weeks to stand up straight after my sx. At about 3 weeks I was back to normal. If I can give any advice is stay away from salt and rest when u can! :)
