extremely excited 29 year old getting a TT SOON! - Boston, MA

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?

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!

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!
