I'm thinking about having a tummy tuck this fall, but I am afraid of major complications or even death! I am 46 years old and a mother of three boys. My husband also has the same fears of something happening to me in surgery. Did you have the same fears? You look great by the way!

I've had a few surgeries, so I didn't have this fear. There can be complications with any surgery, but if you are healthy, have a good surgical team and after-care, I think the risks are much lower. I would post this question to the doctors on here and they should have better information for you. Good luck!

Did you feel that Dr. Gray's staff were super professional and capable when you had surgery? I'm thinking of going to him for the same procedure you had done but I have reservations. Any advice?

Canoe ride today

I wanted to do something active with the kids now that the weather is finally nice here, so we went for a canoe ride. I figured that the upper body workout and some sunshine would be good. We rented because getting kayaks on top of my car right now is not an option! We went for over an hour and everything went well. When we got home I was tired and napped for a couple of hours. I don't seem to be swelled more than usual. Overall, a good day, but I'm reminded that this is going to take a while to get back to normal activity level.

You look amazing! Congrats to your great recovery. I had a question, did your hourglass tt include some lipo as well? How long did you wind up keeping your drains in?

Thank you! I didn't have any lipo, just a little extra tightening around the waist. I can't imagine adding the trauma of lipo on top of this surgery, but many do it and survive just fine. My drains were in for 2 weeks. My doctor is very conservative about drain removal to prevent issues. Did they have to be in that long? I'm not sure, but I didn't have any of those issues...

I'm at 8 weeks and feeling close to normal. I started Couch to 5K again and I've been kayaking. Activity still wipes me out, but it's good to be at it again.

I worked this week and it went well. I had to adjust cg during the day to stay comfortable and was exhausted and more swollen after work. Here are updated photos.
