I had a tummy tuck on 9/10....I am still really swollen. Pretty sore. There are a lot of wrinkles on my new belly due to the binder, but I am thrilled with the results so far! Can't wait for my boobs to be done next!

How long are you supposed to wear that thing? I just got home from the hospital. I asked how long and he said "I'll let you know."

That sounds indefinite.

I just came on here to send you a message asking how you are feeling? My surgeon said to wear it for 3 weeks, then after you can wear your own kind if you have them. Not sure if men wear shape wear or not. Lol I sure hope you are feeling ok!

Do I have to be online to see your pics on your profile??? I can't access them on my phone or I'm in the wrong place

You might have to be. I didn't restrict access to them. I hope you can see them!

I'm feeling pretty good. But hate not being able to stand up. And I can't tell how much of it is this binder, the surgery, or stiffness from being in this position so long. How long till you could stand up straight?

It was about a week before I could stand up strait. I used a walker and it helped a lot with the back strain.

awesome results! quite an improvement. not sure i will go that way but congrats.

May be a stupid question but how do you view someones gallery?

You look amazing! I am really hoping I won't need plastics, but your posts/pictures have really helped me not dread it if it turns out they are needed!

You can look a the profile pics on a cell phone but not from the mobile app. You have to be on the full website. Then you just click on someone's avatar and you'll see their profile.

Yes under my picture there is a blue script writing that says view my profile. Once you are in my profile go to gallery. You should be able to see from there! good luck!

I started being able to stand up straight about day 3....where it didn't hurt but felt tight, however the doc said to keep walking that way till I saw him again on day 6 post op. so it gives your skin time to stretch out naturally instead of being pulled out.

Any pictures yet?

How did you even get a picture? Did you just take the binder completely off while sanding up?

Yeah. You can take it off every couple of hours so you can get some good deep breaths in. That's when I took mine.
