Tummy tuck today!

Hey folks. Had my TT today. They removed 6 pounds of skin. 2 giant pieces like the one on the picture. I'll get some photos of me posted as soon as I'm able, but wanted to let everyone know it all went well.

I'm in the hospital tonight and I'll go home tomorrow. I've got 3 drains....how in the world do you folks walk around in public with these things?

The doc came in earlier and opened up the binder for a second to take a look....holy crap! I don't recognize myself. It's so unbelievable. Now let the recovery begin.

Btw not much pain right now, morphine is awesome!!!!

So this is half of what they cut out.

That's pretty awesome! I'm glad you're feeling minimal pain at the moment and thank you so much for keeping us posted.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to reading and seeing your progress.

Glad you are doing well. Yes, please keep us posted. Hope you have a fast recovery.

So excited for the new you! Hope you stay pain free.

Did your insurance pay for the TT?

No I was self pay. They would have paid for part of it if I had someecical issues as a result of the hanging skin. But I didnt have any.

The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was 1) glad your are resting comfortabley. 2) It must have been extremely uncomfortable for you to have the extra skin. I hope nothing but good days lay ahead for the new you.

So glad you are doing well! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Can't wait to see the smokin hot new tummy!

It's creepy right? The surgeon took that. I've got this image now of the surgeon and nurses taking selfies during the operation with me cut open in the background. Talk about the ultimate photobomb.

Awesome!! Take care of yourself and enjoy the morphine!
