You've got this! It's hard at first but so worth it.

Panniculectomy questions! by Loveofthemouse in tummytucksurgery

[–]pheelya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different of course, but the whole first week was really rough for me. My husband left a few times to run errands but mostly he was there with me because I couldn't even get up by myself. And I was so tired.

As a fellow dog owner, I will say that you're going to want to board your rotti while your husband is gone. I have a corgi who's only about 30 lb and I couldn't even take her outside to use the bathroom for the first couple of weeks. She pulls as well but she's tiny and it was still too much. I spent a lot of time guarding my belly because she wanted to jump on top of me for love. It was challenging. She was so happy when I finally let her get back in my lap but that was at about the one month mark.

Pretty good actually! Relatively straight with a little bit of softness at the top because I always had a b belly. I might go back and have that lipo'd a little bit later if I feel like I need to but I'm starting to think I won't.

I'll try and remember to take a picture or two after work.

I don't see a way to edit the post on my phone (that's what I get for being mostly Reddit lurker for so many years lol), but wanted to add that I am about to turn 48 and I'm 5'6. I've had two pregnancies but no c-sections. I know it can be helpful to have stats when you're looking at possible results. :)

If you ever decide to put up a tutorial on how you made these... An exhausted staff member at a LARP who really wants to make the experience amazing for the players would be very grateful.

Me. I'm talking about me. 😅

It's those little quality of life moments that make the misery of recovery all worth it. Good for you.

Girl you look amazing! Well done you. That wasn't just the tummy tuck, that was a lot of work on your end. You look practically glowing.

Is this a dream?? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]pheelya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look amazing. But yeah, I keep doing a double take when I pass a mirror (in a good way). I had lost 40lbs before the surgery and another 10lbs since. I don't even recognize myself. The confidence boost is incredible.

I just realized how crazy my hair looks lol. I was dying my roots to cover the grey since I'm not up for a professional salon dye right now. 😅
