? about swelling after TT

how much swelling can I expect after my TT? I am having a extended TT June 19th. I am really wondering  how much swelling I will have...will I be wearing bigger clothes and how much bigger?  I am so excited bu yet so full of wonder!

I didn't have much - I wore my big binder faithfully for about 4 weeks.  After that I occassionally felt tight in the tummy area, but still fit in my clothes - now have gone down another size at 4 months post op!  My flat tummy is amazing!  I do work out 5 dyas a week, I know that's part of why I'm happy with the results.  Good luck!

Hi Macygranny!

I'm also on my way to a TT within 2wks and I found a great website for all TT patients. www.tuckthattummy.com
It is really helpful and has printouts for pre-op and post op people.

Check it out!

How did you get your TT covered by insurance?  I have anthem PPO in calif, I haven't tried to get insurance to cover it but now I'm wondering if I might actually be able to.  Did you have to send in pics? Did you have a lot of excess skin to remove? Did you have problems that made a TT med. nec? Sorry for all the questions, it's just that I've finally raised enough money for surgery but I can only afford one so do I get a TT or a BL? if I can i get ins. to cover a TT then I have enough to get both done and possible my inner thighs too.  Please let me know.
Thanks
Tara
