TT pics online finally

Graphic photo's beware now I am to see tt pics to compare with others whom had rolls bad like mines on the sides Hello FAM, I am sorry it took me sooo long but I am finally able to get online now. So here is the 411 on my TT!!! I am excited it's over and can't wait to see the final results. I want to stress that the first sight of your TT is not the most pleasent. I was expecting to see this beautiful flat tummy. Well this was not the case. My surgeon is the best. I was approved for a pentilectomy only but she did the whole abdominalplasty with muscle tightening. The bikini cut is flawless. My first look at the tummy I thought oh my it's not tight enough, it's not flat enough. The stretch marks are still there. Yuck Yuck Yuck... But to be honest we are not in hollywood. We see the real results. My tummy has swollen more so since being in the hospital and I have to realize that is' going to take a while to see the end results. I still have rolls on the side cuz I did not get the breast done and the tuck could not remove them. Pain Management........... My Doc had a great method of pain management. She used a pain pump called ON-Q (post-op pain reliefe info at askyoursurgeon.com) this is a small cathader that goes right in your tummy and stays in for 72 hours. You remove it yourself. It was easy to remove on Sunday and I felt nothing. You will see it in the pics it's taped to me just above the belly button and I carried it in a black bag over my shoulder. I also was on oral pills as well for pain and muscle relaxers. My tubes I hope will be out by this monday the 20th but there is no discomfort just annoying. I have alot of swelling and my hubby keeps telling me to be patient but you know like the shows I want to see a flat tummy. It's still real swollan but she assures me it will be flat and it can take up to 6 months to see the final results. She also said if there is any skin hanging at all she will remove in the office under a general anisthetic no charge to me. She will peirce my belly then also. The cut you can see in the pics is under this brown tape. It's on very tight and she prefers it cuz it keeps the scar flat and minimal scarring. My scar does look great and I agree with her on the tape. It will fall off on it's own dont pull it and I can shower no problem. I know I said it B4 but other peoples TT looks so good after the TT. There bellies are flat and no rolls on the sides. I know I didn't get the breats done but I can't help but be disappointed. I thought it would be flat already. Why the buldge still..!!!! Okay just had to vent Okay enought talking ask what you want and here is the link to the pics (www) picturetrail.com/natttpics Love Ya'll NAT PS I want to send special love to my Angel Kerstin whom is always there for me. She kept checking on me and I just love her for that. Also thanks for letting me use your camera that things takes great pics. So thanks to Kertin I got pics online!!!

Nat, Congratulations on your new tummy. It looks like it's going to be great when the swelling goes down. I have a friend who went through the same frustration waiting for the end result as well. It took a few months before the swelling was completely gone, so keep the faith and try not to get too discouraged. I have a feeling you will more than satisfied when all is said and done. You should be proud of yourself with your success all around. You've done a great job. Maggie

Thanks Maggie I am proud. I dont know why I get frustrated sometimes. I know I should not. I will try and be patient and pray all is well in the long run
