Hi Jennifer, Congrads on the TT. I had mine on 12/5. Still have swelling. I've been told it can take 6 months to a year for it to all go away. I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. I have just now gotten to the point where I wear real clothes. I had been living in my velour jog sets. It will get better looking as time goes on. I still have a few scabs and redness but it's healing nicely. I went shopping yesterday and I was wearing a size 10 before surgery and I fit into a size 6 misses and 7/8 juniors. Yipee!! The surgery is such a blessing not to have that huge stomach hanging down. Wish you well! Donna Paige

i only have a medical card do you know if your surgeon takes this with a referral let me know thanks

Congrads to you also Donna... Yeah I can't wait to see what size I'm wearing after all the swelling goes away,, I was already wearing a size 4 ladies and size 6misses.. I will be glad when I can buy some clothes and not worry about not gonna be in them long... I've been thin on clothes cause I did not want to be buyin much cause I knew I would be having the tummy tuck and going down in sizes again... And thats what I tell everyone this surgery is well worth all the pain its putting my through cause now I don't have to wear a girdle everywhere I go I have lived in a girdle since I had the gastro because I've HAD so much skin hanging down on legs.. But thats all gone now.. I will post some pics of my Tummy tuck soon as I go back home right now were stayin with my mom so the family can help me with the kids.. I will be going back Sunday cause my kids go back to school on the 9th.. And my 18 year old sister will go stay with me so I can still have help with kids... But I will post again soon... GOOD LUCK TO YOU And ALL..... JENNIFER

Congratulations, I'm glad you are doing ok.
