I had my tummy tuck exactly one year ago. The day of my surgery, I was scared. I was worried about the pain. I was worried about the recovery. I was worried about the results. I knew going into it that there are risks associated with any surgery and that those risks increase when you’re getting a tummy tuck after weight loss surgery.
But, I also knew it was time for me to do something for myself. It was time for me to finish this journey that I started in 2012 when I had gastric bypass surgery. My extra skin wasn’t just ugly, it was painful and uncomfortable and itchy and gross. It hurt my back, my knees and my feet were being squished by the excess weight of it all. In fact, one of the reasons why I needed a tummy tuck is because I had developed a bursitis in my left hip from walking around with so much extra weight on my legs and feet!
