I live in the UK. I had a tummy tuck on 3rd August. My first week of recovery was great, my 2nd week was very uncomfortable and now I’m beginning to feel normal again (apart from the itchiness of my scar).
I had my tummy tuck after losing 115lbs (262lbs to 147lbs). I am very swollen. I didn’t have lipo as the surgery was done for medical reasons in the NHS, not privately.
My swelling makes me a size bigger in clothing than I was pre surgery, and embarrassingly, it also makes me look a bit like action man in my groin area!
I feel good but I’m desperate to know:
*When can I have a bath? I am so bored of showering
*How long/far per day can I walk?
*Has anyone lost additional weight post surgery, and did it have positive or negative effect on how their stomach looked afterwards? I really want to lose another 20lbs
* I think I have had an extended tummy tuck as my incision is almost at the back of my hips.
