How long before swelling resolved? TT

I am nearly 6 month out of an anchor cut TT and I would say at least 2/3 months before I could get into my old clothes and 4 months out I as down a size where I stay today. They removed 10lbs skin from my front (did not go all the way around) but like you I suffered from depression, and to this day do not think I would do it all over again. I have to have an in office revision to fix some puckering on my right side and I am not looking forward to doing anything else! I was going to go back and have my BA but I have always been on the fence about it, and will probably not do it now.

Good luck.

I applaud your reflection.  I don't mean to be discouraging to everyone, but I really think sometimes the BA is really pushed.  And especially for those of us who have lost a lot of weight, plastics seem like a normal progression.  I'm very happy with my TT as of now (granted, I cannot see the scar yet, it's taped, and I would have preferred to never have been overweight), but I definitely regret the BA.  One of the things I realized is I've been putting off being happy with my body until the next surgery.  I wish that more of us spent time on getting right mentally instead of just trying to correct the physical things.  That's my .02 anyhow.

I completely understand, I wish they made me see a physiologist before plastics like before WLS. I still see the fat me, and no instead of all the extra skin I just feel wide...

My 2014 goal is to finish loosing around 15 lbs and then fully focus on appreciating my body and what I have put it through! (WLS, 3 babies, Plastics...)

I'm 6 months post op and still in yoga pants 99% of the time. They are just so much more comfortable. I have pain along TT scar so soft and stretch is better. I gained 10 lbs, but now have tracked my food in the last couple of weeks, and lost 5 of it. I can squeeze into my dress slacks from pre-op but definitely not my jeans yet. I still swell up at night and after exercise. I think that the majority of swelling has resolved though.

So don't be discouraged. Some lucky ones are back in regular clothes with hardly any swelling, most others are not, I think, for some time.

I had no swelling, but pretty much lived on fresh pineapple, because the bromide reduces swelling.  You could also try bromide tablets.

I am confused as to how you I can tell if I am still swollen? I weigh exactly the same as I did before TT. He took 6.4 lbs from my stomach. Three months later, no weight change?

Many people don't lose weight from the tummy tuck.  Three months later, yeah, you're probably still doing a little swelling, but if you're not noticing it, it can't be too bad!

How is that possible?! I want to lose the six pounds, lol!
