  3. my dr told me that i have to wear my binder 24/7 for 6 weeks.
  4. I do have some befores but i am about 20lbs heavier in them i forget the day i went to the hospital to take before pictures but i will take some afters and post the ones i took a little while ago of my befores.
  5. Well i am 6 days post verical tummy tuck. I am fininaly starting to feel a little better. Everything went wonderful. No complications. The Dr removed 7lbs of skin. They binded me up in this binder of death it was so dam tight i could hardly breath and it made me black and blue form my breasts to my hips i wasn't aloud to take it off or shower until i seen the dr monday. It was a rough 4 days waiting to see what my bellie looked like. Well i went to the Dr's monday and the took all the bandages off it was so scary. It looked wonderful i almost cryied to see my bellie with no fat rolls for the first time in my life it was amazing (i been obese since i was a kid). The dr did such a wonderful job the lines were perfect, straight, and very thin. I was very upset at first when the dr said about doing a vertical tummy tuck because i didn't want an cut to go up my whole bellie but now seeing the results he would have never got my bellie to look this good without the vertical cut i had way too much skin above my bellie button. I am worried about having to go back to work on monday this was the worst pain i have ever experienced i wish i had more sick time to take but i will just have to deal with it.
  6. I am 6 days out of an extended vertical tummy tuck and let me tell you i have no i idea how i am going to go back to work on monday which will be 11 days post-op. This was the worst pain i have ever experienced.
  7. my insurance approved my whole extended tummy tuck with musle repair which i am having done in Aug.
