WORTH IT$12,000
Feeling pretty much back to normal now (9 dpo). Am able to go out with friends, walk around, completely off pain killers and meds. Still seeing a lot of swelling in my abdomen, especially the sides/hip area :( breasts look and feel great, haven't given me any problems except a little itchy at times. Next doctor appointment is next Friday to get my tape off and put on the scar strips!

Today my drains came out. Wow! What a weird feeling. Worst part is: after taking percosets for 5 days I now have the absolute worst constipation. I've been up since 2am, tried stool softeners, laxatives, and magnesium citrate. Still nothing...
But on a better note, everything is healing well. I absolutely love my new breasts and I'm optimistic my tummy tuck will improve as the swelling goes down.

Oh I can completely relate with the constipation! I went through the same thing! Maybe also try prune juice? I have heard others say that worked. Welcome to the flat side! You look great so far!

You look great for 5 days PO dont worry the swelling will get better. I'm 4 weeks PO and still get swelling. Its a long recovery process but in the end it will be all worth it :0)

You look GREAT! And seriously, high 5 for losing the weight. It's not only about how you look and how that makes you feel, but also about avoiding Type 2 diabetes and horrible health and physical ailments. GOOD FOR YOU! Have you tried Metameucel for the constipation? Works like a charm for me

Thank you RockinMom that's soo nice. In high school I was told I was borderline diabetic :o now that I've slimmed down I feel better than ever.
Things has gotten too far for anything like Metamucil. I had to go the enema route today, but did work and I'm feeling much much better.
Thanks again!!

You look fantastic girl! I'm set to have my TT in late Dec. and I'm also having a BL without implants. Do you mind me asking if you feel like you lost any volume or went down in size after the BL?

Thank you soo much! It's kinda tough to tell about the size now, not just because they haven't fully dropped and formed yet, but also because before, there was soo much extra tissue I don't even know if I was wearing the right size bra! My doctor did do a slight reduction on the left one since losing weight did not cause them to end up symmetrical. I'd say the size is generally the same, but seems bigger if anything because everything that's left is "normal" boob haha if that make any sense.

I finally had my consultation/pre-op appointment today! My doctor was very helpful and knowledgeable, and seemed optimistic that my results would be good. He said the abdomen will get great results since I have little to no fat there, which was a huge surprise to my ears. I also decided to get a breast lift, so basically a Mommy Makeover (minus the Mommy). Surgery is officially happening and by this time next Tuesday hopefully I'll be recovered. 6 MORE DAYS!!!!!
