I am 3.5 weeks out post op. My Dr wouldn't do it unless I was sure I was done having kids. If I were to have another kid, there is no doubt in her mind that it would ruin all the results and that it would be a very painful pregnancy. HOWEVER, each person is totally different. If your Dr is comfortable doing it pre…

OMG! Me too lmao! And the more weight that I lose, the bigger they get....

You look fantastic!!! Way to go!

Way to go!! Nice work!!!!

You look amazing! Absolutely stunning! I looked at your profile pictures as well. GREAT job!!!

I just had mine removed last Wednesday and I haven't had any side effects yet. I wonder if they forgot to remove it as I had two other surgeries at the same time. lol I have always had a constipation issue so it would be quite the change for me. I also haven't had a big appetite yet since surgery so we will see if I eat…

You look great!!!!

Kinda small and hard to see but Congrats!!!

You look great! Way to go!!!

Great job!!! You can see a huge difference! Keep up the great work.

Its raining men.. hehe

Holy buckets! I hope they show me mine too! I was told almost 3 pounds of fat and 13 inches of skin. She didn't tell me the weight of the skin though. And yes, I will agree with Mj. There is some pain but actually not nearly as bad as i thought it would be! Just stay on top of your pain pills. :-D

Did they show you those pictures at one of your follow up appointments?

LOVE all the comments that you are getting. I am sooo excited to get to where you are! I really just can't wait to get to 8 weeks so that I can hold my babies again!!! woot!!!

Thanks bunches! I want to answer a few of these questions that they are asking you but it is your post. lol I will just look at your responses as I am sure they would be the same as mine. To everyone else that reads this. I had one done a week ago. If you look at my profile, I posted a before picture and a 6 day out…

Yes, I think so.. I had mine a week ago and mine is that large as well. MJ, I was also going to comment because going back and looking now, it looks like my scar is a lot darker than yours. Was yours already looking a lot better at the two week mark? I am hoping mine isn't infected. :-( I think that one of my drainage tube…

OMG!!! You look amazing and your scar looks great!!!!! Oh I hope that I look the same way in 5 weeks! lol

So glad I found this thread! I just had a tummy tuck on Wednesday and for the same reasons as you did! My insurance wasn't so generous and wouldn't pay for part of it. I am planning on appealing it as I think that the part they are covering should be the part they are not covering. They are covering the pannus removal and…

I am home. got home about 530 Thursday evening. Been pretty naseous the whole time. Doing pretty good though. They removed almost 3 pounds of fat and addition to those 3 pounds, 13 INCHES of excess skin! I couldn't believe that!! Anyway, pretty out of it still so short and sweet for now. Will post more at a later date. Amy

I will update this thread after the surgery to let you know how much they removed. :-) I am planning on sleeping in our recliner as the bed is pretty high and I think that I would struggle just getting into it. The drainage tubes don't sound fun at all but hopefully it is just a few days before they come out. Thanks…

We sound a lot alike! Both mine were c-section babies as well! I have also heard that you may not show a loss at all afterwards because of all the swelling and whatnot. I didnt realize that it would be for so long though so I am VERY glad that you posted! I am glad that you are happy with the results and to hear that you…

My original goal was to have a tummy tuck once I got to my goal weight and stayed that way for 12 months. :-D I was bummed at first that I had to do it so soon without getting to my goal weight but at the same time I am sooo ready for this pain to be gone! I will certainly take before and after photos and thanks so much…

My husband does all of it! I am a VERY lucky lady! He cleans, does the dishes, does the laundry, and anything else that needs to be done. I don't even have to ask. I think that he is naturally one of those clean freaks that tends to drive me crazy at times. "Honey, it is OK to leave that one bowl in the sink!" lol I do…

Thank you so much for your response! That makes a ton of sense and I am hoping that the extra weight I lose comes mostly from my arms and legs and not my boobs! lol

Oh my gosh! Thanks you sooo much for responding! I am almost in tears! I am so glad that you had awesome results and that you are able to hide that nasty scar. I was so worried about that! I just got used to my c-sections scar and was sad that I would have this much bigger one to look at! How long did it take you to feel…

Thanks! :-D

yes I have. I actually have my pre-op appointment tomorrow with the plastic surgeon and another pre-op appointment with the surgeon (removing the gallbladder0 next Tuesday. I will hopefully have a better idea of how much weight tomorrow.

If your profile pic is you, you look FABULOUS!!! I was almost 190 at my highest weight and I am 5 foot 3. After my first kid, it was almost gone and I got pregnant with my second. I got down to 156 when it was almost gone. This time around I am again at 156 but carry all of my weight in my stomach and I am afraid it would…

Not really sure. Ground up almonds I think? I have never used it before. It looks like it would most likely be found at health food stores.

Congrats on your weight loss and your pregnancy! I am not pregnant but just wanted to wish you the best and give you my congrats! :-D
