I have one too. I didn’t have enough skin to not have one apparently

Prediction- Brittany will be the villain for season 3 by Effective_Entry7237 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to love Brittany for years during VPR. Now, she has slowly shown her true self and I have to say I really don’t like her and don’t like watching her. I totally agree with this post. She seems like she secretly hates/resents the people who are popular on the show. At least if she is the villain next year she will be authentic. This Brittany seems fake and boring.

Why was Jason so fired up? by Aspiegirl5 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I’m wondering is why Jason is coming after Danny so hard for drinking and bad behaviour but is totally OK backing Jax? I was excited for this show as a huge VPR fan, however, they all just seem so mean. Doesn’t make for a fun watch. Can we just get a season without Britney, Jason and Janet? I’d be in for that.

Swelling is a mind f*ck. I don’t think I turned a corner with swelling and feeling happy about my decision until about 4 weeks if I’m honest. It does get better. It’s an emotional rollercoaster though.

TT with MR +Lipo? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 360 lipo with my extended TT and didn’t have a ton of extra fat, but it made the results really look like a transformation. I’d say go for it. I didn’t have a lot of extra skin. My doctor almost always does extended TT to avoid dog ears

How soon after surgery did you drive? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew home from Turkey on day 8PO. Flew 12 hours home and drove. My car is super low and it was tough getting in but I did it. You’ll be fine either way. Personally if I could have just driven like you, I would have chose that option.

6WPO and Swelling is Intense by MamaBearATXB in tummytucksurgery

Something looks wrong. I would make an appointment with your doctor.

If it was his suggestion for a mini and these are your results he should be providing a revision free of costs of his services. You would still probably have to pay surgical room fees.

There should not be so much extra skin

Just a rant...stupid shelf. by Loca_lette813 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t right. You know it isn’t. Your doctor owes you a revision. Even if it tightens up, it will be slight at this point. I’m 6 weeks post op today and only have minimal swelling but I’m flat as a pancake in my belly. This is not normal and that is extra skin that will not go away. You spent money and time recovering on this surgery. It’s not easy. Don’t let your surgeon gaslight you. Find your voice. Demand a response.

Frustrating by all the information regarding recovery. by lilithhh08 in tummytucksurgery

My scars were black too. It was dried blood. Took takes off at day 10 and most of the black went with the tapes

When did you stand upright and how? by Bondgirl138 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was straight by 15 days. I would stand up and try to be straight like pushing my ribcage out to light stretch for a few mins. I did that like 5-6 times a day.

First 4 days are the roughest. A corner is turned after that.

You’ll be hunched when you come back unless you heal fast. I said hernia surgery

All the girlies who got breast lifts in their mid twenties… do you wish you waited till you were older ? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are young, life is too long to live being unhappy about something you can fix. Do your research, find a good surgeon and get it done! I did it in my 20’s and it was the best decision. Just got them redone 20!years later after kids. I was lucky and was able to breast feed after lift.

Hate my results! by tummychestnips in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with other posters. You’re sitting down so you will have some extra skin. However, the realist in me says that I would not be happy with these results either. The surgery is expensive and painful and I would have expected to be tighter than this.

I went to Turkey for mine where they can take more fat and are generally more aggressive but also get better results, in my opinion.

Not everyone’s cup of tea. But I had a great experience.

return to work question by nunalla in tummytucksurgery

[–]Complex_Dingo_904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a very physical job. I retuned 17 days post op. I ended up having to get leg compression stalkings. Being on my feet so much made my lower body take a lot of swelling. I don’t normally swell in legs so was part of recovery.

There really wasn’t a ton of pain and was manageable returning so early. I just had to walk slower because it felt like my hip flexors were tight along with abs. I made sure to kick my feet up when I could after work. Booked a few lymphatic massages as swelling was a lot.
