ninerbuff, thanks.... I had some lipo done to my tummy and back area, but not my brain. I do realize that plastic surgery DOES NOT address the problem of calorie intake. This is why I wrote this discussion board for those of us who are trying to get healthy and other mother's who have opted for tummy tucks to get rid of…

My tummy blew up like a watermelon!!!! The other thing I am experiencing is that area where my lipo was done on my back flank areas, there is knotting that…

Bit the bullet and did it. What I was afraid of was being disfigured and the pain and weakness that I am going through now. The doctor did not disfigure me, I look great and ended up with a very cute belly button! :) But the pain part as I am coming upon three weeks is ughhhh..... I do not like pain (of course who does?) I…

Sorry folks, I have made a few attempts to respond to all of those who so graciously took the time to respond to my question and each time I ended up with an error and everything I had written was wiped out. Soooo that being said, here I go again! LOL I did not lose the weight I wanted prior to surgery, but was also not…

How long after a tummy tuck can you begin to exercise again and what types of exercise? I am going into surgery this Friday and to be honest I am scared to death of the whole ordeal! What helped you get through the pain and the healing process? Thank you!
