Wow, that is awesome. You have got to be thrilled. I plan on getting one when i get close to goal as well. good for you for giving yourself this treat.
Folks that are not used to actual post op pics might think differently, but as a nurse, you look to be healing wonderfully. I would trade a scar for this spare tire anyday. My stomach, when i lost weight before looked JUST like yours. It is so disheartening to lose all the weight and realize, you now have all this extra skin that you can DO NOTHING with (except cut it off).
If you need a wonderful TT support group, i would recommend tuckthattummy.com and go to the tummy tuck message board, great group of ladies that can answer ANYTHING.
Again, you look fabulous! and congrats on the weight loss.
Hey Kim,
Thanks for sharing your pics, you look great!! You stand out to me because I think I remember you saying you had c sections also. I've also had three c-sections. Mine were all in the last five years so they were all the low transverse (I think that's what it's called when the incision is horizontal), anyway, it's inspriring to see your pics. I know that one day I will want the TT to get rid of the skin too. Take care of yourself!
Thanks for posting these. THis is something I will definitely need when I get closer to goal. It helps to see photos. Just look how flat your tummy already is and there must still be swelling from the recent surgery. Wow!
wow kim... i bet you're tickled pink with the results you got!! thank you for posting your pics... i'm sure i'll need a TT when i'm done... it gives me hope that one day i might have a flat tummy too!!
It's been an amazing week guys. I never imagined I would feel so good. The only downside to that is doing too much and wearing yourself out. If this is something you are considering I say go for it. The end result is going to be worth everything it took to get me there. I'm so ready to wear something besides tshirts and pajama pants, gotta wait till the swelling goes down, ugh!
I know at least one size Shannon. Before the sugery I was buying everything too big because I couldnt stand my pants tight on my stomach. Then the legs and butt looked huge. So just with the flap of skin gone I should be at least one size smaller. I'll take it! My goal when I started was to get to a size 12. Before the surgery I was buying a loose 12 or a not so loose 10. So I'm pretty happy! Right now my waist is 3 inches bigger than it was before the surgery, freaking swelling! LOL At least I know that will get better on its own, just gonna take some time! Patience...
Thank you Wendy. This is something I dreamed about for a long time. I cant believe its already been a week since my surgery. Its hard to feel better then do too much and wear yourself out because you feel better LOL I just have to remember I'm supposed to be laying on my tushie letting my family wait on me like I do them all the time! Thats hard for a mom to do, well not the first few days. All I did was eat enough to take my meds, sleep and potty LOL Not a bad way to pass the time! I'll take more pictures as things change. I cant wait for the swelling to be gone!
Before and 4 days Post OP TT pics
