Lipo & Mini Tummy Tuck, 3kids, 125lbs - Woodbury, MN

I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting pics!! I have been busy and lazy! I promise I will takes pics meet soon. Honestly not to much change from the pictures above, that's why I haven't posted. I still have a muffin top of lose skin. I
5,6 and my weight before was surgery 125 now I'm at 117. I would say I'm about 70% happy with my results. I look a lot better then I did, but in my mind was expecting better. I still won't be caught dead in a bikini. There's just to much loose skin for me. My doc still argues with me that I was not a candidate for a full TT, but I think I was, cause [RS bleep] still jiggling. I feel like the lipo was amazing but the mini TT was a waste. I still have flab hanging over my jeans, pants and that is what bothered me the most, and it's still there! I will prob go in again to see of there are any other possibilities or something I can do. I will post pics soon I promise. Also, my advise is: DO NOT GET A MINI TT, YOU WILL NOT BE SATISFIED. ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. LIPO WAS 100% WORTH IT THOUGH. My DR. did a wonderful job and I believe he did what he thought was best and I would go back to him again over and over. I just think we know our bodies better than anyone, and we know our elasticity and skin type. Just do your research and look at all the pictures you can of mini TTs. If you are a perfectionist... You will not be satisfied. I will post pics soon!

So these photos were taken at one month post op. I have been so busy and have been trying to get on here and post them! So, everything is going well, I'm now 5 1/2 weeks post. Really no change since the one month pics. I'm starting to get worried that I probably should have had a full tt done. Belly button and upper stomache are starting to look worse, So I'm guessing selling is going down and I'm seeing more loose skin and a little fat pouch on both sides of my belly button, which I had before my lipo and minni tt... just less in that area, but still hangs over my jeans:( I'm praying that I just need time and I'm wrong. I'm also a perfectionist and I thought that I needed a full tt but my doctor steered me away. I asked him last week about it and he still stands his ground on his decision. Only time will tell:) So anyway, my area of concerns are still the same. Under the bra line and belly button area. I have continued to lose more inches ( will post tomorrow) and I weighed in at 117lbs at one month post. I'm 5'6 and really shouldnt lose any more weight. Its also extremely hard for me to put on muscle eating 1800cals a day. I'm planning on starting back at the gym this week. I did a little cardio and bodyweight exercises this week just to get me a loosened up so I'm not so sore when I go back. So

I'm feeling pretty darn good:) Pretty tender in my back area yet. I can still tell I'm swollen. Weighed in at 119lbs today. Inches are pretty much the same. Lost a little in my waist and hips. I'm changing fast. I should take pics. But I'm waiting till 1 month post, so next week I will have a bunch of pics. My stomach above my belly button is getting a lot better and tighter. I'm hoping my inner and outer thighs get about a half inch to an inch smaller. Which I'm sure they will. My inner thighs are looking good and no problems with loose saggy skin....that seems to be an issue I guess? So I changed my status to "Worth it" cause even if I didn't progress much more (but I know I will) I already look 10 times better then I did. My recovery so far has been a breeze, I'm ready to get back into the gym, that's how good I feel. Although I know I shouldn't. I have been doing 20 min of really good stretching every night. I'm planning on going to the gym next week and just taking it very easy. But I will start with one day at a time. So we will see how the first day goes:)
