34yr Old, 5'6" Woman, No Kids, 195lbs, Abdomnioplasty

I am a 5'6", 34yr old woman, who never had kids. In my younger life I had gained a significant amount of weight and ballooned up to 250lbs. It was a long journey and I worked hard to loose the weight, but when I did nothing returned to the way it should be. My stomach ended up retaining most of my fatty area and work out and diet as I might, nothing helped reduce it.
Dr. Peterson was great when we met for my consultation. I told him my story and my current journey along weight loss. He was very interested in my story and to make sure I'm at a steady place. I felt a kinship, that he understood what I needed, and so far, (I know it's early still) I was definitely not wrong.
I'm one week post op and already feel so good about my results. Pain hasn't been too much at all and I can't believe the difference. It's amazing. I can already express how amazing it is to not have to "tuck in" my tummy when putting on pants, I don't have to demean myself anymore.

I just have to get used to seeing my belly button in a very different position, it's weird to see it where it is supposed to be.

My 3 weeks post op follow up was great! Everything is healing well and I'm moving very well.
Pain hasn't been much for me, little pangs here and there and the odd bit of discomfort, but over all it's been very minimal.
I'm still really happy with everything! I just have to remember I'm still recovering and not push myself to do much.

My 6 weeks post op photos look great. Swelling has been at a minimum and everything is healing nicely. My belly button has been the slowest to heal but coming along nicely. I am so happy I had this done and am loving the results.
