Tummy tuck pictures..at 6 weeks out

Hi guys! I know how fun it was for me to look at others B & A's, so I wanted to share mine with all of you.  I had my extended tummy tuck with anchor cut on May 9th, just 6 weeks ago!  I'm in shock every time I look down and see my tummy, still feels like I'm borrowing the thing from somebody else.  Sometimes I just sit and rub it to feel the tightness....I know it's weird, but anyone who'd been MO can understand I think!  Here I am before.... This is one week after surgery.... And this was taken this past week at 5 weeks out from surgery..... And another.... As you can probably see, there's a bit of a dog ear on the left hip.  The surgeon will be removing this in her office in a month or two when all looks good to remove it.  I'm not disappointed at all, however, b/c my surgeon was challenged with several things.  First of all, I have scoliosis and if you look closely at the picture, I'm crooked.  She did the best she could to even my sides up, but there's another problem.  See my right hip?  That would be proof that I've birthed three large babies! My right hip wasn't affected, but the left was pretty severely pushed out....which I didn't know until recently since losing this weight.  Our kids were 7 pounds 12 oz, 9 pounds 12 oz, and 10 pounds 2 oz.  Kinda hard to come through that without some battle wounds!  Lol!  So, although there is still some minor swelling from time to time, I'm beyond pleased with my surgery, and horribly grateful to be where I am today.  July 11th will be my one year surgiversary since my DS, and I hafta tell you, I'm LIVING my wildest dream right now!  I'm down 142 pounds since the day of surgery, what a ride this has been guys!

Thanks Dancin'D!  I've been looking for bikini's, not sure if I'm ready to go for it yet since I get swollen after a couple of hours without the binder.  My plan is to buy the heck out of the clearance racks of bikini's at the end of the season!  Watch out next summer!  Here I come in my bikini's!!!!

GO,Girl,Go!    What fun !!  To be shopping at a regular store for bikinis???   Only in our dreams.    But now you are there...so pat yourself on the back.  You deserve all the  "attaboys". Dancin'D
