3 months out

it all depends on your skin type and age. Some people bounce back while others like me *31 year old mom of 3* had to have a tummy tuck. You can click my profile and see the pictures in the albums....

Thank you �� this forum has been so supportive during my transformation! I'm glad I could share my own journey and hopefully inspire those that are just starting theirs.

Congrats on the tummy tuck! Good to hear you are doing well
