Tummy Tuck?

I am going to hit my two year mark in January and I am considering doing a tummy tuck. I carried my weight all over but definitely in the stomach. It's not bad, but I am still in an L-XL top because of it. I can fit into a Medimum but it doesn't look good lol. Has anyone regretted doing one?

I heard 6 weeks then again my surgeon told me 1 week which I think he is nuts. Then again I think it depends on every individual since I had3 c section I heal nicely & unlike Many ppl in a week I was fine shopping & all. After Wls in a few days again I was shopping & felt fine. Now I never had plastic surgery especially if I'm having surgery in different parts of the body at once. I might come back in a week saying it was a piece of cake or I might come & say omg!! I'm in so much pain. I think I will heal fast but then again I don't know. I'm having so much issues that maybe plastic surgery is cancel completely due to marriage separation or lack of money since "hubby keeps borrowing" yes I had him sign papers he needs to pay back. Not lending anymore. I'm pissed but I will be fine.

A tummy tuck was absolutely the best surgery I ever had! It will do wonders to make you feel more confident and the recovery really isn't bad!

Well, my plans have changed. I had a doctor lined up in June, but lost insurance shortly after that so I decided to wait until I got it again, but in the mean time my fiancé and I have been surprised with a little surprise due the end of June! So for now the tummy tuck is on hold. But I WISH all of you ladies luck!!! I know it's a tough surgery, but I believe it is so worth it!
