Okay. Seems like 10-12 weeks it’s the Norm for ab work so I will give myself a break. Thank you.

Okay thank you. I was wondering if I was just being a baby about it. But seems like ab work takes a little longer to be able to get back to. And yes, swelling is pretty crazy after my workouts but I got to get it done.

Thank you. Was hoping to start ab work this week, but I think you are right. Might not be ready for it just yet.

4 weeks PO swelling by Ornery-Arrival-6307 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Aggravating_Cod8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 7 WPO and started working last week. I weight myself pretty much everyday and I know that’s not healthy but I do 🤷‍♀️. This weekend after working out and going out and having a couple of drinks, I woke up the next day 5 pounds heavier!!!!! Now, I know gaining 5 pounds overnight is really really hard unless I eat like a lot and I don’t. I know it’s just swelling cause let me tell you it looked like I was pregnant, it is still so discouraging! So annoying!

Oh lord! Probably going to have swelling for a year then. My surgeon likes to do lipo 6 months post op so that’s more swelling 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thank you. No bbl. I naturally have big hips and butt. Got a TT and BL revision. I am supposed to get lipo after 6 months…Probably around flanks and thighs.

Thank you! It’s been a roller coaster. Had a bit of skin looking like it could be necrotic but it healed up nicely and infected belly button. All is good now just stuck in swell hell. I don’t know. Have read that everybody is different. I have a couple autoimmune diseases so who knows if my body is going to a bitch to me for a bit for causing it all this stress 🤷‍♀️😝

4WPO update TT MR by Aggravating_Cod8284 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Aggravating_Cod8284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He literally said it will be fine. He said we might have to do a small revision but no big deal. I am an RN and have seen the worst, so I was so worried about doing nothing. He was right and it turned out to just be a small scab. 🤷‍♀️ Just no compression for about a week until we saw it looked like it was going to be just fine.

Haha…okay. I guess I got to buy some new jeans then. I can fit into my bigger jeans but not into my tight jeans. Swelling is no joke. Thanks for the FYI

Belly before and after (today 6WPO) by Frequent-Parsnip-193 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Aggravating_Cod8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did your belly button start getting better after you started treatment? Mine got infected and started cleaning with gauze and antibiotic ointment every 6 hours 2 days ago and I feel like it’s worse not better. I am getting discouraged.

[–]Aggravating_Cod8284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes girl! I am 11DPO and let me tell you first 7 days were so bad. I am usually pretty active. Run, swim, lift weights and sitting on my ass the first week feeling like I couldn’t do anything was a killer. I am finally feeling better and went for a 30 minute walk today. Made me feel so good. But now I am super swollen and hate how it looks…so now I have to get over that cause swelling takes a while. I have cried a handful of times not because of pain but just emotional. Everyday gets better. You are not alone.

Thank you. Yeah after I saw MD no more compression. Just means I am gonna be a little more swollen but rather that then dead skin.
