Tummy Tuck Update with Pics....

Hey all,
Thought Id update you on the TT recovery. All is going well, I must say I am a li surprised at just how long the swelling lingers. I am no longer in pain but standing up totally straight does bother me. In the morning there is a little swelling by night fall its pretty ******g bad. I am really happy with the tummy tuck and cant wait to see the final results once all the swelling subsides. Ive heard it can take up to a year. For those of you who had one done, how long did you swelling last? I am going to start working out next week, focusing on my flappy arms and legs. Wish me luck… Im a total wuss! I bumped into my trainer at target yesterday and he about **** his pants. When he went to hug me he lifted me right off the ground! Im going to meet with him and he's going to teach me a 20 minute routine to do at home with me resistance bands and kettle bell to firm **** up. Loving life from this angle… Im at 146 ( took 5 weeks to drop 2 pounds!?!?!?!) now from 275 and want to settle at 145 so the fluctuations don't go over 150. The tummy tuck took me from a loose 11 or deathly tight 9 to a loose 7 and nicely fitting 5. Thanks for all the PMs about how Im doing...

Im so happy for you!
I was wondering though if you noticed that your belly button is offcentered at least an inch?

 LOL ya totally… but it was before hahaha

hey Ill totally take your stomach over mine belly button or not lol:)

WTG though ! Ya look great!

 lol Thanks…
Ive noticed its way more centered now than before but weirdly Im super duper swollen on only one side of my tummy (maybe from the correction) and thats the side it seems to pull toward, Im hoping when that subsides its even more centered not that I can ever show my belly I still have a lot of stretch marks left so there will be no bikinis in my future… WAAAAAA

Wow, what a sight to behold!  And I'm not just talking about those pink panties...ZING

The swelling sounds like it sucks but it won't last forever. Have fun with the kettle bell!

Jenn,

You are a true inspiration to see how well and how fast you transitioned. You are really rocking that sleeve girl! :)
