I am 6 months post op and feel wonderful. I am back to allmy normal workouts and routines. The only weird side effect is the numbness I have on my abdominal area. It feels weird to lay flat on my tummy because I can't feel anything. I am 100%happy with my results and feel it has been worth it. Especially this summer sporting my bikini. I'm thrilled!!

It has been 4 weeks since surgery and i am happy to say I am glad i did it. Its the best decision i have made for myself..ever! I was scared like many of us who joined this web site, but with all the support and guidance from everyone i can say it was a sucess and worth it. I was lucky in one way to be the "last " one to go in for my TT out of the January group and was able to gather a lot from everyones posts.
Here are the things i couldnt live without the first week - 10 days.... A recliner was a huge help (slept in it for 2 weeks), and wedge pillows for under your knees and to elevate your back ( once you are ready to get in your bed), a toilet seat riser so you didnt have to bend down far to sit and a walker( only need that the first week, but a huge help), herbal water pills for the bloating and swelling and bromoline. All of these items were advised by so many of the girls that with my anxiety waiting my turn i decided to get these supplies just in case, and thank god i did. My mom stayed with us for 2 week to help husband with the girls 3,6 and of corse me. Thank goodness for my mom and husband, they were great and helped me so much.
Another huge help was staying on a low sodium diet and no sugar and flour this past month during the healing stage. From lack of exercising and from swelling from the surgery, you will feel like a stuffed sausage if you are not careful with what you eat ( I found that out the hard way after eating Himilayan food 1 week Post op..awful). It has been a huge sucess having such a clean diet and to feel so good shortly after surgery. Dont get me wrong, my energy is still low. I returned back to work at day 15 and the first week was touch i was in bed at 8 pm and each week is getting better. I just exercised for the first time and i did a great walk/lite jog and it kicked my butt! cant wait to get back to the gym, hoping next week.
I have to say I am happy with my results, I am in complete amazment with my new body and the fact I have lost 11 pounds since surgery. I havent been this small in years.. I have nothing that fits me anymore, its as if i am wearing someone elses clothes. This is fun! I can not wait to go shopping, i have gone a little and everything looks great. Im going to need a second job to afford my new shopping habit. The BEST part of this all is i can wear a bikini for the very first time in my life this summer at the age of 40! yahoo... life is good..I feel like i died and woke up in some hot chicks body! lol

Dr Marcus is an amazing surgeon. He has a great bed side manner and is a true artisit. I am thrilled how he reshaped my body into the person i have worked so hard to be..my body finally reflects the efforts I make to be healthy and strong. I am 10 months post op from my Tummy Tuck surgery and never felt or looked better. I can't get over How strong my core is and how tight I feel. I have great posture now and feel so much taller. My scar is so low and perfect, you cant even see it in my string bikini. Wow, I didn't expect that but love it! There is NO other surgeon to consider for you Tummy Tuck, he really is the BEST!
