3 weeks post-op - so far I'm not sure how to feel

well if you are asking for an opinion, post some photos so we can see what your results are

I couldn't really see the belly but I am just 8 days out. I've had a lot of excess skin removed and I myself had some belly button issues, but per my doctor it is very natural to have this issue with the belly button it is sometimes one of the longest things to recover.

You must get the massages for about 3 weeks after TT

I feel you. I was pretty frustrated at first… the drains remained in a long time, I had seromas drained a couple of times. I needed the stomach girdle support for a few months to feel okay.. my doctor also told me to trust the process. I’m almost 3 years post-op and I finally feel pretty good. It really is a process and you have to endure patience… you look good and I know you will ultimately be happy with the outcome!!!

I had my surgery on 8/10/23 and everything went well. Minimal pain. My drains are still in and the #’s are not dropping. Im feeling super sad and worried.

I think you look great

You look fantastic! Congratulations!
