After 4 kids , 14,12,9,and a 2 years old...left my body in such a flappy and gross stage .. I just wanted the excess skin gone ... I want to feel better about myself fir a change ...

Since I had shoulder surgery on November 17, 2014 and about a month off .. I wanted to also schedule my tummy tuck before my shoulder surgery so I can have time to heal within 6 weeks... Figured it will be my only time in my life that I will be able to do the tummy surgery

4 weeks post op.. Still hunched

Juju juju
I ended up with very bad Seroma at 2 weeks... The Seroma made a hole in the incision and oozed itself out.. I was wondering why at 2 weeks I was in such great pain.. And wasn't able to walk at all without help to and from bathroom.. I went to my ps that Monday after the Seroma oozed out for at least 30 minutes... In the office they squeezed more Seroma out... The next day I felt so much better.. And after a week.. The hole haled up... Am at 4 weeks now and feeling somewhat better and less pain.. Trying to stretch more and straighten my back so I can stand up straight...

I also started scar silicone therapy... I bought 2 strips from the PS office... And I also bought the scar away ones from walmart--- much cheaper and it doesn't give out a smell like the clear ones from the ps office..

Sorry about the Seroma sounds so painful. I need to get those scar strips. I'm still scabbing right now a little. Happy healing!!

Yes, I had a little puckering at the one end of my incision but it didn't take long before that flattened out. Don't worry about it!
