Hi.. I'm 8 months post op from my tummy tuck and skin contour due to my 130 lb weight loss.

My case was a little different because one month out from my tt, I got the top half done and breast augmentation as well.

The only thing I would do differently, is wait on my second surgery.

I'm very happy with my results, and all the feeling from the nerve damage etc.. is coming back now, so speaking for only the abdominoplasty, I'd say that was ok.

I lost my mind after the second surgery because I thought I was stronger than that, and I just got super depressed and started eating things I shouldn't etc..

The scars are awesome, only pencil thin, but I'm not sure if a state insured doctor will be as skilled.

My doc had me drinking bone broth a week before and a week after for healing effect.

I also took arcana and bromilin.. a homeopathic medicine that helps with healing and bruising.

I would totally do it again. As I said before.. I just think I had the second surgery too soon. Glad it's all done though!!!!

Depression after surgery is something doctors don't tell you about. Anesthesia can cause temporary depression.

I have bipolar disorder, and it was really hard for me. Thankfully the depression only lasted as long as my inability to move and exercise enough to improve my mood. I use exercise and nutrition to manage my moods and to have that impaired for so long really threw me over.

It really only had me down emotionally for 3 weeks though, and that's because I did 2 surgeries in a row. I just couldn't really hack it.
But I made it through!!!
