Cheri, I know you tried to post this the other day and didn't get much of a response. There's just not many on this board who have had ps yet. Plenty who want it, just not there yet. You may want to visit the PS board: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/posts.html . I think you'd have a better chance of getting some info there. Sherri

I had a tummy tuck August of 2005 ... Mine looks like a big smile and I have no belly button... and yes it was swollen at first and within about 5-6 months I no longer noticed it. And the scar still is getting lighter!
