Full TT, BL and BA - 32 year old mom of 3 - Buffalo, NY

Doing waaay better this week. Starting to walk more upright, less pain (taking very little Tylenol each day), and just overall feeling more like myself. Swelling still going on, still rockin' the Ken doll bulge ;) I feel pretty darn good but still get tired pretty fast. SO happy with my overall result!

Well, tomorrow will be four weeks. Ab drains came out on day 18, which was sooo great to be able to shower and move. I really feel like I turned a corner at about the three week mark - just felt better, less sore, and had a tiny bit more energy. I'm still swollen, especially in my tummy and pubic area. You know the bulge that Ken dolls have? Well, consider me a Ken doll, because do I have a bulge going on!!! My breasts are still slightly swollen as well, and feel a little weird, like they're not mine yet. SO happy I did this!! Will post pics soon!!

Went to see Dr yesterday, was really hoping for drains to come out but nope. All four still in which I thought strange since there really isn't a lot of fluid coming out. My chest still hurts waaay more than my tummy tuck and right breast is really swollen at the top. I was disappointed at my appointment because I felt really rushed. She popped in, removed all the padding around my binding, and then left. I didn't even get to see my results bc there was no mirror in the room! Very much all business, told me I was healing well, and she would see me on Wednesday. Not at all what I was hoping for - really wanted some warm fuzzies, I guess. I had a major panic attack after that, haven't had one of those in a very long time. Finally looked in the mirror when I got home and cried because I was so happy with the result. My breasts look amazing, and my tummy is great! The drains are really bothering me, can't wait to get those removed. Still very tired and run down, haven't been able to shower or drive yet. Wishing this recovery process would speed up!
