Well it has been one month to the day and there have been some ups and downs....good days and bad days....diet I find makes such a difference on swelling or not....no matter what for me...I have had a lot of swelling...I SWELL BAD if I eat too much,or eat too much sodium...
....Went to Galveston and ate at The crab shack and ate more than I have yet, and the whole night I was nauseated and sick...worse night so far.... My stomach feels so TIGHT...when does that subside a little? Would love some insight on that....Started back full time to the gym, and wearing a tight CG...seems to really help...not doing a lot, except for the treadmill and some resistance machines...trying not to overdo it....My scar looks good...left side is nearly invisible and right is still pretty red....I asked Dr. Decherd
If he could make my scar invisible underneath my favorite tiny g-string...and I'll be damned if he did not accomplish that....crazy...hard to believe you cannot see it under the little tiny string....He is AMAZING...realselfers have a wonderful night and happy healing!!!

That g-string looks amazing. Your thighs look great too. It's amazing how a great tummy can make the rest of your body look even better. So you had no muscle tightening? It looks like you didn't need it. You looked strong before. I'm strong too but a botched lipo made my tummy look saggy and misshaped. BB is off center about an inch! I won't know if I'm having muscle repair until I'm in surgery I guess.
I've noticed people seem to swell for about 6 months and then it ends. The stomach is tight so it's harder to eat too much. I swell with any trauma so I expect to swell. Trying to be sodium free after. You look amazing!

I think you are the first person in my life to compliment my thighs....so for that I send many thanks your way...yes, I had muscle repair...but very little...only had a separation of about an inch....it seems that your doc would tell you if you were getting muscle repair before your surgery...that is strange....you are so RIGHT...be very careful with sodium...The swelling pulls on your incision and that pulling is worse than any pain right after the surgery...

I was told by another ps that I didn't have diastasis. This ps said you can't really tell until you're in there but he thinks I may not have any. An inch sounds good. It's nice to have a little tightening after babies. Good to know about swell hell and pulling on the incision! Yes, love your thighs! They look great with your new itty bitty waist!

You look so beautiful!!

I forgot to mention that the tight feeling could last a long time. I say it's a good thing. I'm 15 months post op and that tight feeling has been gone for several months but I've also loosened u a lot and have skin rolls when sitting. (I do have poor skin elasticity and apparently some rolls at my age are to be expected). I'm happy that I no longer have a bulging abdomen.

I have a question for you blubberbellynomore belly.... you have had your tummy tuck for so long now.... I wanted to know will the results get better and better or are the best results at the very beginning of the tummy tuck?....

I actually had TWO tummy tucks. One in September of 2013 and the second one in May of 2014. My surgeon did a mini tuck the first time that I wasn't happy with. Both times my results seemed to be best the first four months. It seemed that after any swelling subsided my skin loosened up again. I still think that I could have been pulled tighter especially laterally. I'm tightest in the middle. My horizontal incision isn't as long as on most people that have had a full tuck. I'm also not sure if my surgeon actually did a muscle plication ABOVE my BB as he verbally told me "no" but his operative report states that he did. Go figure! Overall I'm happy with my results and being in my sixties I don't expect to have the same results as someone much younger who has good skin elasticity. I've written two reviews, and the second on is called "skin only tummy tuck with short vertical scar...". My latest update shows my rolls that I have when sitting. I didn't post these under my first review. You look SUPER tight and I don't think you'll be having skin rolls like mine! Your surgeon did a fantastic job!

So.....I suppose that for some people results get worse with time. Some of my RS friends who had their surgeries almost two years ago are still as tight as a drum with no skin laxity at all. They're in their fifties though.

You look great! Your seeking should start to ease up during month 3 Happy healing :)

Ugh.... I really should proof read before I hit 'post'... I meant to say swelling (not seeking)

I love the way it's so low. I can't complain but I wish my was just a tad lower. Hoping when all the swelling and the scar matures it'll lower a bit. Overall you look awesome. Try wearing your cg day and night for a few days I'm sure it'll help with the swelling.
