For those of you that have had one I have a couple of questions about tummy

tucks.

1. Did you keep your belly button??

2. How long before you could stand straight??

Thanks

Donna:

I have a new belly button. It's still red and I'm not going to say what it

reminds me of now, but I'll let you know after a while.

Standing up is a gradual process. I saw a doctor at a social gathering last

night and he mentioned I still wasn't standing up straight, although I

thought I was after 4 weeks. You are *really* bent over for 2-3 weeks. But

like all other things, you gradually straighten up.

I've always been partial to dragon tattoos!!! You could probably do a lot of

hiding with the long tail and body...just a thought...or maybe you weren't

serious...Take care, Louise

I am not quite 5 weeks from surgery and just went back to the gym with my

trainer....he was more nervous than I was. We just went through all of the

motions without more than 5-10# of weight. Just stretchy stuff. It went

very well and I feel I'm really on my way.

A tattoo? Hmmmm? How about a ......

........a cute little kitty?

Sorry, couldn't resist...Take it easy with that exercise--give yourself a

chance to heal really well--take your protein and vitamins and get plenty of

rest--that gym will be there next month--and hey, resting now is better than

emergency surgery if you tear something.

coming out of it... maybe a hand or some body part coming out

Hi again,

Dr. O left my belly button. I doesn't look like my original one; it's a

tight vertical line with a circle scar around it. It does interrupt the

vertical scar and looks a little strange. I make sure I hide it when I

wear a two-piece bathing suit because I'm self conscious about it. It also

feels weird; I don't like to touch it. I kinda wish I had asked him to

forget about it.

I had back aches because I couldn't stand up fully straight for about 3

weeks. Where I had wonderful posture before the TT, I find myself having

to work at it now. I didn't sleep on my tummy for about a month and 1/2.

Even now, it still burns if I flop down on the bed on my stomach. I

actually bruised my scar about a month ago. I didn't know that was

possible until I noticed a portion of it was black. A nurse at work told

me that it can bruise. The bruise went away fairly quickly though.

Call me and I can probably explain better and answer your questions. The

recovery was quite different to me than the RNY. Different mind games.
