Hi ladies I am now 19 days post op after Full TT BA with implant, I have come along way since day 1 post op but didn't realise what a slow process the whole experience would be!! The swelling for me remains a massive pain!! (As with most of us it seems!!) My scars are amazing i am so pleased. Still massively tired and think i could cry with frustration sometimes but know it'll be worth it in months rather than weeks....I travel to france on friday (24th) eeekkkk MASSIVE DRIVE!!!! Any advise is more than recomended??

Reading all these reviews makes my day - keep up your fabulous healing guys, I have posted some new pics over the weekend!! x x x

Hyjen, it would be great if you could post a review on your story. I would love to read it and I am sure others will benefit from it. And if you have any questions or concerns the others who have had MM before you may be able to leave you helpful or encouraging comments. I hope you are healing nicely and happy with your results. :)

The back pain has been the worst, however a heating pad has helped a ton ! The first few days coughing was awful, but after a week is not bad. The binder/girdle is best at its tightest. The reduction/lift has been pretty easy so far. The lipo is sore, but not bad :)
Lakota05 30 Jul 2012
I agree the binder tight! Sounds like you are doing good! Good for you!
graylorsmom 28 Jul 2012
Coughing is the worst! I have been sucking on cough drops constantly but a cough snuck up on me today and oh I cried. Going to try honey & tea I read it helps. Any other suggestions would be great. The whole holding tummy tight just doesn't cut it. My swelling has pretty much went down on the BA the tummy is still very swollen. My back pain is rough I can't wait to stand up straight again
Lakota05 30 Jul 2012
Hang in there! I had no cough at all, I think only once and was bad. I liked having the tummy compression thingy, actually it has been almost a year and I still wear it once in a while...you will be walking straight in no time, so glad you did it!!! Congrats!
Lakota05 28 Jul 2012
@grayloramom and wannabsmaller......how is it going! How are you feeling?
lahmyr 20 Jul 2012
They use to do Mommy Makeovers as a contest. How come they don't do them as contests no more? Or are there contests out there and where are they? Some people can't afford a TT and Lipo. I would love to win a contest to have this done. Any suggestions?
wannabsmaller 18 Jul 2012
Mini TT, lipo on abdomen & flanks and BR and lift for tomorrow July 19th :)
graylorsmom 30 Jun 2012
I am getting TT and BA on July 24th, I have wanted this for so long that I can barely contain my excitement!
Lakota05 12 Oct 2011
I had Full TTw muscle rec lipo to flanks and hips and BA with full lift on 8/5. only doing threadmill.... Craving sweets big time and didn't before but keeping it under control with fresh fruit and low fat whipped cream. Have lost 20 lbs since surgery and dont want to take steps back! You can do it! Weight watchers online helping me big time.
Blue Ridge M 20 Oct 2011
You've lost 20lbs since surgery? Wow, good for you! Thank you for the encouragement! I need it big time. The snacking and sweets are what is killing me. I was just thinking that I could workout hardcore to recover from my bad eatting developments and that has not been the case. Thank you for your help!

I had a TT BL and lipo on hip, flanks, and thighs July 25. I'm starting on the treadmill. Do a sugar cleanse. You need to break that cycle. Start out slow beach body is tooooo much
Blue Ridge M 20 Oct 2011
Thank you! I will definitely start walking now. I had seen reviews where women were back at the gym, basically full force by 4-6weeks, and I was starting to get down on myself for not feeling up to that. I will have to look into a sugar cleanse method b/c I am undoing all the hard work I put in prior to surgery--and the holiday feasts are in my near future--I need to fix this now! :)
Blue Ridge M 12 Oct 2011
Has anyone started working out again, if so what are you doing? I had TT, BA, BL & Lipo of my hip roll on 8/22. I've tried doing my beachbody dvds but the pilates are killing me. I thought I had full range of motion until I tried to do these tapes! I've put on 11 lbs and all I want to do is eats sweets-which is totally out of character for me-I'm a salt-a-holic normally. I need help ladies!
Gem617 27 Aug 2011
Ok, please do. I am worried ge discharged me too soon. I thought I would go back in three months. Ty
