Just posted before & after pics
Hi,
I just posted a before & 4 days after tummy tuck & hernia repair pic on my page if you're interested.
I feel a little Frankenstein-ish, but I'm sure that will all get better after the staples come out and healing continues...

Wow what a difference. Even tho you feel "frankenstein-ish" you must be feeling better!
Congrats.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks everyone! I am feeling really good considering the procedure. My doctor removed 7 lbs of skin & fat during my tummy tuck. He tightened my stomach muscles too. I think I had the most pain from that. And I have like 12 pack abs now! I've never been able to actually see my stomach muscles before! My doctor says that will go down a little as it continues to heal.
My WLS surgeon did my hernia repair & tummy tuck.

That's one of the reasons that I decided to post my pictures. I looked at A LOT of pictures before I had surgery and that was really valuable information for me, especially if someone had the same kind of panniculus and body shape that I had. It helped me get a realistic idea of what to expect.
I'm glad I can help anyone else in return..
