Here are few links to the tummy tuck itself. These were taken by the nurse during the proceedure.
The first of me cut hip to hip and you can see my belly button in the middle. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/scan0002.jpg
This is the same shot without my belly button: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/scan0004.jpg
Here is the flap of skin that was removed from my belly. It weighed in at just over 7 lbs: http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/scan0003.jpg
Gross? Maybe but I thought it was way cool! :biggrin1:

I agree, please keep this updated! I really appreciate your cahones in posting these rather personal pics for us. It is exactly what I was wondering about.
Now I get the Spydr :) Kewl!!
And goodonya!! The side shot is very dramatic and wow! You are going to look even more fabulous than you did, and than you do now, after the swelling and bruising goes down.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I hurt just looking at those. How bad was the pain? Have you lost sensation in your breasts? I'm in desperate need of a lift, but I worry so much about losing sensation. Thanks so much for posting these.

You know, at first, the pain was less than the band. I have a really good doctor and his office understood I was a wuss and gave me all the meds I could need. The pain is more now that the nevers have begun to heal.
They did move the nipple but did not cut them completely so I still have full sensation in both nipples at this point. It may change but the doc seems happy with his work. The sensation is also coming back in my belly and that is where the pain comes in.
It felt so good to take my first shower yesterday. I still miss taking a bath and soaking but all things in good time. I just now got to the point where I can sleep on my side. That feels good!

AGAIN... another KUDO for posting.......... you have balls! and I'm so glad you do, because it REALLY helped.
My good friend had the same thing done a few weeks ago, and I can only imagine if that is what she looked like....
I gotta tell you I look like your before pics, so it is really easy for me to visualize myself in your shoes.
I can't wait to see the result after the swelling goes down.
oh.. yeah.. and I love the tats!

You my friend are a brave soul! I thank you for sharing something normally considered very intimate. I've considered a tummy tuck more and more lately as I have become puzzled with what to do with the pound of flesh dangling over my girlie-girl! Personally, I'm a bit of a chicken but I draw strength from your photos. Please keep us updated.
