I will be adding to it probably daily or at the least weekly!!

Wow!  You look great!  Not much swelling either.  I am very swollen and still weigh 4 pounds more than I did pre op.  Oh well it's to be expected I suppose.  Can't wait for it to go away though.

You look really good!

I had my TT on 12/28 and am still incredibly swollen and black and blue through the hips.  Your post-op pictures look great!

Looks Great!! I'm still swelling a little.

Thanks everyone!!  I feel like my results so far are just ok... my stomach looks funny and hopefully it is do to swelling.  I did not have lipo so that is probably why I do not have bad bruising.

Hi,

I have my tummy tuck scheduled for Jan 20th. I'm alittle freaked out. My friend had one and she said she'd never go thru that much pain again. Is it really that bad? Also I had lapband. Is the swelling just in the muscle or is it swallon behind the muscle too? Is my band going to be really tight after?

Thanks, Lori

The pain is well controlled by drugs!! i would do it again in a heartbeat and I am still in recovery so that says a lot!! I did feel horrid when i woke up and wondered why I did this but that went away soon!!  I have RNY so I do not know how you will feel with the band.  My swelling is all over - -my belly looks like a line is in the middle from swelling.  I pretty much feel numb all over my stomach and on my incisions.  I do not have a pain pump either.

You look great! Thanks for sharing.

It looks great but I have a question, are those staples?  If so why?
