Tummy Tuck: Day 3 Post-Op
Hello All!
I love reading other people's updates and seeing pics. I just updated my blog with pre-op pics.

Not sure if the Tummy Tuck Pre-Op pics will ask for a password but it's Sparky
I'm waiting for the bf to forward to me pics of my pre-op markings. I still haven't taken pics of my tummy post-op. Haven't removed the binder long enough to do so. lol

Awesome! How's your recovery going for you? I thought of doing the BL/BA at the same time but was too chicken. lol
I posted a couple more pics just now of my post-op pics. I'm wearing my tank top and my binder but you can get the gist of it all. 7 pounds of skin - gone! I call it "getting rid of the evidence". LOL

Looking good girly! You appear to be standing up fairly straight too. Wow, over 7 lbs. of skin? That is awesome. Mine weighed in at 3.5 lbs. I would not have done both procedures at once either, but I do not have an abundance of leave saved up at work so decided to do both together and have one recovery. I will still need some thigh work eventually, but have to recover from this initial expense first if you know what I mean. I will have hubs take some post-op pics tomorrow.
That was a good idea to do them at the same time - I thought about that since I don't have a lot of leave, either, but I figured that I would need my upper body to help me around with my tummy. Do you use your legs to move yourself around more than you use your arms?
I'm thinking I should've worked out a little bit before my surgery because the parts that are the most sore are the parts that weren't even worked on. My body is saying, "What in the heck are you doing using those muscles?" lol
Can't wait to see your post-ops!

Thanks!
You are brave! I couldn't imagine adding any other procedures to mine. I, too, had an anchor cut incision. The way my rolls were I think it was the best way to go to get the best shape.
Good luck with your surgery! :-)

I can't wait to see more post op photos. Your pre-op photos look like my tummy currently so I am very excited! Even with the tank top on you can see a big difference. Did you just pet your new tummy the first night? I know I will.

When I first starting coming to in recovery I wasn't sure what to do - but then they lifted the sheet to put the binder on me and that's when I got a chance to take a peek. I'm told that I started crying and was saying, "oh my god, it's gone. It's really gone." :-D
It'll be interesting not to have this stomach anymore. It was so soft and squishy - like my own little stress flap. lol I've spent the last 18 years of my life with an apron of some degree or another so it's going to take some getting used to. I'm sure I'll get over it really fast. haha
