WORTH IT$9,900
It has been one year and one day since my tummy tuck and I am beyond thrilled with my results. It was worth every penny. I spent so many hours on this site leading up to my surgery and in the weeks after that I wanted to pay it forward. For those of you considering it: it's worth it. For those of you in the first horrible weeks: it gets better. Just walk as much as possible and mind the sodium. You won't walk with s painful, hunched back forever and the nighttime swelling WILL go away. Good luck!!

Almost 7 months and feeling wonderful
It has been almost 7 months and I'm thrilled with my results. The challenges of the first few weeks are a dim memory and I have been thoroughly enjoying my new body. I still am numb in my lower abdomen but my doctor warned me that it would be that way for at least a year and full feeling might not ever come back. I don't care.... It's my only side effect. I never swell anymore but sometime still get bloated if I eat too much. I absolutely do not regret doing this for myself. :)

thanks for your review, I have been contemplating a TT but was worried I about if I was being too vein and accept the way I am, but after reading you review I am having a bit more confidence, you looked great before TT but you can see the difference after TT. I have my consult in a few weeks and have tons of questions but am hoping if I decide to go through with it my result will be just as stunning.

You're welcome. I found this website very helpful when I was considering my TT and for the first few weeks of recovery, so I wanted to pay it forward. I had the same hesitation as you and went so far as not tell anyone but my immediate family (since they live with me) that I was doing it. I admit having moments of regret the first few weeks but by my 3 month mark I was absolutely convinced I'd done the right thing for myself. Good luck on your journey!

My 3-month anniversary was yesterday. I'm happy to say that, except for numbness and some swelling late in the day, I feel completely normal. I'm back to my full exercise routine and worked my abs for the first time on Monday. Doctor said to expect numbness and swelling up to a year, which has been so far true. But I have definitely have seen/experienced improvement.

Thanks! I feel great. Went to a huge pool party this weekend and it was so nice to confidently wear a bikini!

I finally bought new bathing suits right before Memorial Day and went with the smallest bikini that would still cover my scar lol. I'll post pictures soon ;)

Your scar already looks so light! Question: are you planning on rocking a tiny bikini even if it means showing a little scar? I'm thinking that's what I'll do next summer.
