Took out my own drain tube!
WRmomOctober 4, 2013
WORTH IT$17,950
I forgot to mention that I needed my last drain tube taken out before I went back to work Monday, and I asked if I could take it out myself. Wow, I don't recommend that! It was so weird cause I could feel it coming across my stomach as it was coming out and I forgot to "unplug" it so there still wouldn't be suction. Thought I would pass out! But I got it done!

Revision done
WRmomOctober 3, 2013
I was down for about 4 days after the revision. The tummy tuck scar is lower, but I really can't tell how my legs will look yet because they are still swollen and bruised. I'm going to have to have doggy ears cut off - again...

Wow ur tummy transformation is amazing. Quick question. Did you ps (first time around) do any fat excision or lipo on tummy ? The reason I ask is my tummy shape is like your before tummy (perhaps extends out more than your did). I'm wondering how your doc got it so flat right after surgery? Was it a TT with stitching muscles together or was there any fat removal too? I always wonder why the belly protrudes out for me after the kids..doc said muscle separation but I can hold the skin and I can tell there is fat in there too that doesn't respond to exercise etc.

I had a tummy tuck with stitching my muscles together. I didn't have any fat removed from my tummy, but he cut off the part that was the fat pooch. That's another reason why I believe the scar was so high. He removed some fat from my flanks, but not the stomach. I work out like crazy too. But the stitching helps tremendously. It hurts like a mother for a while, but it's totally worth it!

Thank you soo much! This makes me feel somewhat relieved. I hope my results come close to yours :-)! Congrats and hope everything works out for you!

Also did you drop weight after your TT first time to bring out more definition? Looks like it didn't affect your TT tightness.

I didn't drop any weight. As a matter of fact, I have gained about 6 pounds since my first go round. My butt and hips have gotten a little bigger but my thighs didn't since he sucked all the fat out. That's why I felt like I was shaped funny in clothes about a year afterwards.

Getting a revision on 9/24/13

Well it's been about a year and a half since my initial surgery. The lipo on my legs never "healed" and my scar is really high, so I'm getting it redone by the doctor for free. I just have to pay for the anesthesia. I've posted some new pictures below, and you'll see why my thighs need to be redone. I think too much fat was taken out in my opinion. He said he will take a small cannula and go the opposite way than he originally went, and not actually suck any fat. But he will probably suck some fat up around the top of my hips to even things out, cause now I'm kinda shaped funny in clothes - skinny legs and bigger hips. I'm happy with the way my scar healed on my stomach, but when I'm in a public swimming place, I wear shorts to hide the scar cause it's so high. I'm nervous about getting the lipo done again cause that was definitely the worst part, but I'm hoping it will even things out some!! I'll post after pics in a few weeks.
