Liz,

I am confused. I had a Tummy Tuck and a breast lift on May 9th and I only have the hip to hip incision for my tummy tuck. What is the incision above the belly button for?

I also got a new belly button. I will be swollen for up to 6 months and can't wait until I can sleep without these girdles and bras but until then I will be lacking sleep. I also do not have pain either as I can still barely feel my incision area. I do feel my breast incisions but I still don't feel my stomach. My belly button is still big and that is to determine the amount of swelling that I still have but at least I can see my belly button. Once I lost my weight my button disappeared.

It seems as though you hardly have any swelling and that is a good thing.

Hi Josephine.

the incision upwards and above the tummy button is where they took skin away from my front which there for pulls in my sides where i had alot of loose skin, and pulls in my sides giving me my body shape back. Im glad that you are not suffering any pain , as im in a fair bit of pain still at the moment and also on alot of pain killers. The pictures are a little deceiving as i do have alot of swelling and this varies from day to day, im looking forward to getting into smaller clothes but with the swelling im still wearing my old ones. This will all come i time, i also just like u wear a body stocking, and it gives me alot of support, which i feel i really need at the moment.

Best wishes Liz xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks so much for posting your before and after pics. I think that there are alot of us that don't know anyone that has had a TT or PS, and it's awesome to see the HUGE difference that that can make. To be honest, I think that you're going to turn out awesome after the swelling goes down. Seriously...even swollen at just a few days post-op (in the second pic) the difference and your shape is startling. I (along with alot of people on here) can't wait to see what you'll look like in a couple of months. Congratulations!

First of all I have to say- Sugarplum you look FANTASTIC!!!! I am set to have my abdominalplasty and boob job August 29th. I have been keeping a log under "beginning of abdominalplasty/boob job. It is very slow going blog thus far but it does contain the prices that I will be paying and such for the person who asked that question earlier in the thread. I cannot wait to look as fantastic as those of you who have posted their Tummy Tuck pics so far. You all are truly an inspiration. Not to mention hotties now.

You look wonderful. Did it hurt? Did insurance cover it? May I ask how much weight you have lost? Thanks/

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
