1 year on!
Just a quick update, it's a year since my tummy tuck. A few weeks after my operation, we had a real life crisis, our world kind of fell apart and the intended diet and exercise didn't materialize, consequently I have gained quite a bit of weight. Now things are better and I'm annoyed that this has happened but fully intend on dealing with ASAP. I ended up having to have a scar revision and extra lipo, I also got a Sonoma and had to have it drained but despite all that I LOVE MY TUMMY!! I'm so happy I had it done, my physical recovery was easy and despite my weight gain my tummy is still flat! I only wish I'd have done it sooner!

Nearly 4 weeks post op, my energy levels are good and I feel well but I hate the swelling. My PS took out fluid from my lower tummy 3 times but I still have this ridiculous pouch under my tummy button and above my scar, it's like a spare tyre. Can anybody out there share their experience with this kind of swelling, I'm so worried that its fat and that it's going to be my final result, if this is it for me, I wish I'd never had it done! My upper tummy and tummy button is great, it's just this awful spare tyre, it's hard to see it'll ever change. I'd love to hear your experiences on this?

Well I'm 10 days post op and I'm very tired and swollen, I felt great yesterday and over did it, paid for that today. My body tricked me into thinking all was well, so annoying and frustrating!
Had the drains out 2 days ago, it didn't hurt just felt like an eel was swimming in my abdominin! I took a look at my tummy when I took my first shower yesterday, at first I didn't want to look and then when I did I couldn't believe it was me, I love it, I'm so swollen but I just love it. I can't see much improvement on the flanks where I had lipo but the surgeon removed 4lbs from them so I'm assuming its the swelling that's making me look fat, lol!
I think what is going to be most frustrating about this whole journey is the slowness of recovery, it's amazing how little I can get away with doing before I feel terrible, also sleeping on my back is getting me down, I have the hospital bed but I miss my own bed and hubby so much, that's getting me down at the moment. I must try and stay positive, this to shall pass. Speak to ya later x
