Tummy Tuck Revision with Muscle Repair and Liposuction

I had a mini tummy tuck in 2004, after having 2 Cesareans with both of my pregnancies. What they didn't tell me is that if you pick up weight, the excess weight will end up going to your upper stomach. My doctor advised me to lose 20lbs before getting the surgery to have more skin to remove and have a overall better outcome. I lost a total of 27lbs , and I'm so glad I lost the weight. I'm 2 weeks post-op and just able to stand straight , though my lower stomach is still very tight.I haven't been walking outside , because it's cold , but plan to get out and walk.

4 weeks post-op, I still have some tightness, but getting better every day, I don't have to wear the Faja, and I wear Spanx or any shapewear that compresses without the very uncomfortable hooks. I'm walking every day and still sleeping on the recliner at night, due to the fact that I cannot lay flat or sleep on my stomach yet.

I'm pleased with my results, and I'm still healing. I'm eating smaller portions, and plan to start working out consistently starting next week. I'm taking short breaks from wearing my compression garments (Spanx), but it is a weird sensation, tightness, and weak core, It goes away as soon as I put the compression wrap on. Total loss in my waist is 5 inches
