Tummy tuck went awesome glad I decided just the ext tt over the lbl.  It took care of everything I expected it too.  Surgery was on March 14 and went much better that anticipated.  I walked out of the hospital the day of surgery and sat at my boys' wrestling tournament 2 days later.  I do have a great pain tolerance but never expected for everything to go this smooth!  I took pain pill every 5 hours for the first 2 days and then started cutting way back.  I then only used them when I was ready to relax and chill. 

First pic is the loose skin after losing 107lbs.  I started at 236 lbs now 129.  Pants 18 . . now 5 or smaller,  Shirts 2XL now a Medium.

Second pic is my incision the day of surgery.  

The third pic is a pic of my incision after a week post op

The fourth pic is a picture of the 3.6 lbs of skin that was removed.  There is a 6 in ruler sitting on one piece of skin.
