I am happy i got the surgery. I am in pain, i think is more from the drains and swelling on one of my sides. But other than that I'm good. I highly recommend Dr Tucker. I did my research and he was the one for me hrs board certified he had 20 plus years of experience and overall dawn to earth Doctor.

Hi there
Will you please post some new pics? I had my surgery on 6 September and have similar swelling. I'd like to see how your belly settled with time.
Thanks

Yes! I will post more pictures. But i got to tell you it doesn't look any better. My doctor told me to loose 10 to 20 pounds , he says it's inner fat that cannot be reached only weight loss will fix and it will look better. That's what keeps me going. Because other than that, it doesn't look good. And i am still numb on the center of my stomach.

Thank you for sharing your pics! I have noticed in a few reviews that some ladies who still appear to be overweight, come out FLATTTT after their procedures? Have you seen this too? However, in many instances they had TT with lipo of the flanks. My PS also told me that the fat I have is visceral fat (fat surrounding the inner organs) which cannot be removed via lipo, just by exercise, a good diet, and by letting the muscle repair swelling heal with time. Maybe they didn't have much visceral fat and we did :(
I tried my best to lose weight before the surgery hey, without much success, but its like after the flap is gone I've become even more motivated!
I'm wearing my binder religiously and watching what I put in my mouth, hoping for a good outcome in the next few months.
On the positive side, your incision seems to have healed well. I hope mine will heal as well as yours. Let us both focus on our diet and exercise and compare notes ;)
