I had a tummy tuck about 4 months ago. I was so happy. It was like a miracle. I had 4 kids and my stomach muscles were not tight and I had flabby skin overhanging. Yuk. I felt like a whole new person after the surgery. But now I have gained some weight after the surgery and I am starting to lose the flat stomach that I had. It still looks good but I am starting to get that “muffin top” look back. I know that I have to go on a strict diet now but I didn’t realize how easy it is to ruin everything I had done.
The tummy tuck procedure involves removing extra skin and fat from the belly and tightening the muscles. My doctor told me that he has seen people come back who have gained a lot of weight and they want to have the surgery done again. I really hope I can lose the weight. I just wanted to warn everyone that it’s not a perfect cure where you don’t have to keep up your body. You have to do a lot of work to maintain the look.
