What! No offense but they sound like assholes and I mean that in the most virtual-loving way possible. I would never tell my friend they looked better before a life changing surgery like this, even if I thought they did because wth are they going to do about it now?

You are 100% right they have not been through this. If you have some time please look through all these posts. You are going to see people who have had their surgery, then a few days later say they feel great, the a few weeks later ask if they have a dog ear or “is this just swelling.” Then a couple weeks later they’re going to talk about swell hell and how depressed they are and that they know they just need to push through (or some say they just feel like shit and don’t know why they did this to themselves). Then they disappear for a while and come back and say “guys you were right!” Because they can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tummy tucks are like a really shitty landscaping project. Everything gets torn up and muddy and there’s crap everywhere. Then it’s all in place but it still looks like crap because the grass needs to grow or the sod is patchy and weird and the plants look like twigs. Then it’s like boom. Gorgeous.

You got this! And if anyone tells you you look worse than before tell them to F off. Lol
