My Tummy Tuck, Lipo Journey
|
|
I started to gain weight after the birth of my two children. I turned into my worst
nightmare a frumpy housewife. I had 4 abdominal surgeries over a 7 year period. My dreams of a tummy tuck really started after I did the phen/fen diet pill craze and lost 50 lbs in 3 1/2 months and my stomach STILL sat on my lap.
I decided to take the plunge. Here are my photos. BTW, I had a full tt, lipo of flanks,
back and inner thighs. |

The night before surgery I was SO NERVOUS!!
|
|
36 yrs old, 4'10", 159 lbs size 14/16

|
I went into surgery 1/26/01. What an experience!! I thought after all my previous surgeries
I was a veteran. For the first 2 weeks I wondered why did I torture myself like this? This garment is driving me crazy, I am swollen, whine, whine, whine. I finally started to see some light at the end of the tunnel with week 3. |

4 Wks PO 2/24

146 lbs, down a total of 13 3/4" size 12 petite, but my
upper abs are still very swollen. My ps said "I was a challenge!" I am very short, had so much extra skin, fatty pockets, with not much room for a mid section. |
