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.

Just amazing.  How much skin did the surgeron remove.  You seem to be doing great.  Hope I do as well as you do.

Was that for an abdomnioplasty or a panniculectomy?

Who was your doctor?

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.

Congrats!  Your pics look really good!  I'm sure it feels better not having the extra skin!





Thanks for sharing your pics!

Tammy, you look great!  This is such a  difference and I know it will look even better as you get farther out.  It is so encouraging to me when I see a "before" pic that looks like my tummy because it makes me think mine might look good post op, too!
            Good luck with your recovery.

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..
