Weight doesn't want to come off as easily post op... just me?
WORTH IT$17,800
I'm 10 months post op and my tummy is still looking great! As usual it looks best in the morning and is a little puffy by bedtime, but not nearly as puffy as it was in the first few months. I am using silicone strips to help reduce the scar, but I'm not sure if the 5 I purchased (each lasting about 2 weeks) will be enough to reduce it to my satisfaction, which sucks because they're expensive!
I'm trying to lose weight in other areas to tone up and look better all over, but the weight isn't coming off as easily as post op. Maybe it's also because I just turned the big 3-0 and my metabolism isn't as great as it was when I lost a lot of weight around 25? Any other ladies have experience with the challenge of losing weight after your tummy tuck?

small victory!
I took the boyfriend's nieces to a trampoline park, and it was SO nice to have my extra skin around tummy GONE and not jumping with me. OMG it felt so amazing! I would have been too self conscious to have jumped on the trampolines with them and would have watched from the sidelines before this surgery, but I am so thankful I had the surgery and can live my life without hesitation!

I want to have a TT, lipo and flab removed from my upper arms. So glad to read ur story and know Im not the only person that exercises my butt off but continues to gain weight. Im sick of it. I eat healthy and exercise but cant keep the weight off. Im 42 years old and I believe my body is goin thru menopause. Its a losing battle. Would love to see some after pics of ur results. I recently had a boob reduction and lift. Loving the results and ready to do more. So ready to be happy again.

So at 5 months in I am flat in the morning, and bloated before bed, especially if it's a high activity day. When can I expect to be flat 24/7? Thanks ladies! Hope everyone is doing fabulous, and happy healing!

Amazing results! Thanks for sharing your journey. I am meeting with my PS in the morning for a final pre op appointment before the big day on April 6th. You mentioned your pre surgery weight - 215 then you got down to 140 and then up to 165. Question, how tall are you and was that your average goal weight? Also since the surgery, how much have you lost in the 3-5 months?
