Well, I am 8 weeks from my min tummy tuck and still have some discomfort and bloating but nothing close to the pain in the first month. I still wear support foundational undies that help with the bloat. However, I do know when I am too active because my lower tummy gets sore. All in all, I am healing nicely but have to be mindful that it is a process. As far as appearance, I look much better. My clothes look better on me and although I have not lost weight I always have folks ask me if I have. I cannot wait until the bloating subsides which may take at least another month or two.

I am just over 4 weeks post op. I am having a bit of buyer's remorse regarding my decision to do the mini TT with the hysterectomy... just a bit. I am still a bit swollen but my tummy is not flat. What bothers me most is the reaction from my Gynecologist who said it was a waste of money. Before talking to him this week I was ok with the results because I am not a thin woman. I guess I should be immune to his opinion and remain realistic that I will not have a flat belly but I do not have the hanging overlapping tummy... which is what I was after in the beginning.

I'm Day 8 PO. The first two days were a breeze as I was in the hospital and heavily medicated. I walked a bit on both days but only a yard or so.
Day 3, 4 and half of 5 were horrible. My pain meds were reduced (voluntarily), I walked more, experienced terrible nausea and painful gas. I begin with a Milk of Magnesia and an elevated water intake. Finally, I started to feel better as my gas passed and my stomach queasiness subsided.
Day 6 I was supposed to get my drains removed but my PS thought it was a bit too soon. I don't mind the inconvenience to avoid complications. I hope to have them removed Monday of next week but until then I am monitoring amount and quality of output.
Day 7 was a very laid back day as I did too much the day before. I had a lot of swelling and lower ab discomfort so I rested.
I took some post op pics and think I made a good decision so far. I can tell a significant difference, even with the bloat/swelling. I know some would not be happy but this is a reasonable result as I am not a thin woman. It is still too early to tell.

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

I chose this doctor based on those PS that worked out of the hospital where I am having the hysterectomy. I checked their background and based on the consultation I feel very comfortable. She wants to do a mini instead of the full to reduce the risk of blod clots and other complications because of the combinations of procedures. So far so good, I just had my surgery 8/1.
