Three weeks ago Monday I had an extended tummy tuck (no muscle repair) lipo and fat injections into my buttox. Everything has been going much better than I could have ever imagined. They removed almost 5lbs of skin... at 3 weeks post-op I still have swelling but the scale has gone down around 2-3lbs so far... but amazingly enough my inches are the same (Dr said it will take 2-3 months for most swelling to go down). I had to go buy bigger panties (lol) and I cannot wear my pre-op pants... stuck wearing yoga pants for now... am close to being able to fit so I am hoping by the holiday time I can wear 'normal' pants. I havent gotten back to any form of exercise but am hoping to start walking some this weekend, I have to keep it low key for at least 6 weeks.
Its strange to look down and see everything so flat... its also strange to have a butt... I am looking forward to going shopping and wearing some different styles I would *never* wear before. Im also already thinking about having some more procedures... now that my stomach looks good other areas that I thought wernt so bad before look wrose... am hoping to have another procedure next year, well see. I have to pay for everything out of pocket and as anybody knows who has looking into PS it isnt cheap!

I'd love to get rid of the tummy flap and the thigh/arm flaps, but with two new knees, I am done with surgery.  I hate the thought of surgery and really cannot afford it, but I sure do wish I could wear "skinny" clothes.  I initially lost 150 lbs, but gained back 30 lbs.  I feel great - and am never sorry I got the surgery.  I am so happy for you.  Congratulations.

Smile...people will wonder what you've been up too.
