Thank you so much for discussing the panic that some of us feel with the swelling after a tummy tuck. I am a bariatric patient who had an extended TT and arm lift (I was the caller from Nashville :-) following a 138 lb weight loss. Two weeks after surgery I stepped on the scale and was up 20 lbs! This really messes with your head as someone who has fought so hard to get into a healthy body. Ugh. I have a wonderful plastic surgeon, but his office does not have an Amy- I wish they did!!
