:clap2: Hooray, for flat tummys... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Momoffour, when did you have your Tummy Tuck? I'm sitting here wondering if your belly button is healing well. It looks very different from what mine looked like. Mine looked like a small little belly button right off the bat, I am just wondering if yours is okay. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, how recent are those pictures? Just concerned for you. And make sure once its dry and healed that you put a marble or something so that the wound doesn't heal itself shut. I didn't know this and my belly button is kind of tiny because since its a circular cut the natural tendancy our body would have is to heal it shut, I myself am scared to stick a marble in there, but the ps said that is what they recommend. I just take a square of toilet paper and fold it really tight into a little cylinder type thing and stick it in there and it has helped. And is worse comes to worse, the ps said he could correct it a little with local anesthetic to open it a little more.

Thanks for sharing! You guys look great. I hope I won't need a TT (no more money) but if I do, I sure hope it turns out well like yours.

Thanks for the pix...I am wondering what it costs, since I'm sure none of it is normally covered. I know I will need a TT, and a boob lift at the very least. Thighs aren't too bad, upper arms not great but still elastic somewhat. Belly gotta go though any qoates on how much?

OUCH, that picture with the bellybutton hole looks kind of raw. Is that the way it's suppose to look while it's healing? Yikes, that scared me, but you're looooooking good.

The Tummy Tuck took you from a size 14 to 10??? OMG, that's great.

Believe it or not...I had NO PAIN with my new belly button :) It's still a little red, but when I saw my PS today for my 2 month check-up she was VERY pleased at the way it's healing and I must admit it looks so cute..better then my original :clap2: I'm going to upload some pics from my 2 month check-up tomorrow to show my progress. I still have some swelling....but everday it gets alittle better :biggrin1: and I'm loving my nice flat tummy :)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
