4 weeks out from Abdominalplasty

I didn't have much muscle tightening done and its still awful lol. That part to me just feels like I did a zillion weighted crunches. The lipo is definitely the worst pain I have now, that I don't even know how to describe.

Did you have lipo somewhere other than your abdo? 

My guess is he tightened my muscles a lot because I lost 6" off my waist  and have much greater restriction when eating. Just a guess though. And oh yeah, the pain, LOL.

i do not know if he used lipo to remove the fat in my abdo but I had no pain there. He told me the operation would have been virtually pain free without the plications.

Yup I had lipo on my inner thighs and hips/back. When I stand its a weird burning sensation. The nurses in the or told me to expect it and they weren't kidding!

I didnt get any tightening. The Dr. said I had good muscles that my muscles were tighter than most skinny woman that he had done TT on. Isnt that wild! I weighed 405 lbs. I guess all the times I tried to loose weight and excersized my ass off on and off for 30 years must have kept them tight

Wow! That is amazing. 

I know but there is one thing I want because of sex appeal and that is my breast. I do have medical reasons too. They were very large before weight loss and hang very low now and when I run or walk or do arobic type bouncy work out I get sharp pains in my nipples, Even with a really tight bra. The Dr. said I have hyper extended nerve issues and need a reduction. It helps that they will be perky.

I hear you. My boobs are the least of my problem areas but the one that I am most excited about fixing. My surgeon said I need a lift but maybe I would not want implants. And I'm thinking, oh yes I do. And I have a very specific idea of what I want. As you said, it is such a part of a woman's sexual identity.

 

Good healing to you! And congrats on your transformation!!!

Thank you!!

I saw that you were talking about the price of gauze. I started out using gauze and then because of the cost and having to change the dressing so often, I started using maxi pads. My binder held them in place and I used no tape. Just make sure that you get unscented and some that won't leave fibers in your wound. I used the generic Always.
