I've had a lot of people ask me for pics of my scars from my extended Tummy Tuck. I finally got around to having my husband take some at the same time he was taking my "after" pictures for my one year WLS surgiversary. So here you go... sorry for having some pubic area showing in the front shot and some butt crack showing in the back shot... my incision is VERY low and there was no way to avoid it. But if it's a violation of any forum rules, mods, please feel free to delete it! The last pic is just to show that my incision is so low that bikini-cut underwear easily hide it.

Wow, you healed fabulously! You look amazing. I know it was not an easy procedure, but it look like it was well worth the outcome.

Well, I'm 4 years post-plastics, so I've had lots of time to heal and for my scars to fade. Definitely well worth all the pain and suffering now, since it's all such a distant memory!

@@JamieLogical Thank you so much for sharing! You look amazing! It's really cool how sometimes I'll click on a post here and it will answer the worry I'm having that moment. I'm pre-op and while my primary reason for losing weight is to be healthy, I've also been worrying a bit about loose skin. I've been thinking it might be disappointing if I go through all this work, but what I've done to my body by being obese isn't reversible. It's nice to see someone who had such a great outcome! Maybe that can be me one day.

Your surgeon did an amazing job and you look fabulous! May I ask who did your TT? I'm far away from that point yet but just gathering info for two years from now when I hope to go the next step. Thanks for sharing your pics! Your stomach is rockin' girl!

All I want for Christmas is for my TT scar to look as good as yours!

Realistically, I'm only 5+ months out.

The silicone scar strips don't seem to be doing a noticeable job... The sides are fading but The center not as much

You look great. Thanks for showing!

terrific results. I often wonder how I'd look with a flat stomach. as much as I want one, I don't want to go through the pain and suffering to get there. one day....maybe..

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
