Post Op 28 days since TT!! Posted new pics, excuse the glare from being so WHITE! HaHa... I so need a TAN!! All is well, progress still going good, have my moments when I'm completely drained frome energy but otherwise good. I finally have the feeling back in my stomach area, it feels SO weird at times, I get these tingly pains but I believe that's all normal?? I don't go back to the PS for 8 weeks, woo hoo!! Have a safe and blessed Happy 4th!!

I VERY JUST STARTED READING THIS AGAIN. I'M TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE E-MAIL JUNK. I HAD ABD. HYSTERECTOMY, TUMMY TUCK WITH SOME LIPO AND BLADDER SLING ON 6/29. I AM STILL VERY SORE AND TIGHT. MY ABD. FEELS LIKE A ROCK. I GUESS THAT'S NORMAL. I STILL CAN'T STAND STRAIGHT, SO MY BACK ALSO HURTS ALOT. I'M WEARING MY GARMENT AND COMPRESSON HOSE. VERY ATTRACTIVE,LOL. I'M HAVING ALOT OF EMOTIONAL UPS AND DOWNS, START CRYING OUT OF THE BLUE. MY DRAINS CAME OUT BEFORE I LEFT THE HOSP. AFTER PO DAY 2 I THINK MY FIRST DRAIN FEEL OUT. PS SAID IT WOULD BE OK. THEN THE NEXT DAY THE 2ND DRAIN LOOKED LIKE IT WAS COMING OUT. THE NURSE CALLED MY DOC. WAS TOLD TO REMOVE DRAIN. I THINK IT COULD HAVE STAYED IN BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY OUT A SMALL PART. ANYWAY THE NURSE PULLED IT OUT. VERY PAINFUL. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT. AND I'M A NURSE TOO. IT WAS LONG AND ATTACHED TO THE END WAS TISSUE OR A BLOOD CLOT, IT LOOKED GROSS. SO NOW I HAVE TWO HOLES TO TAKE CARE OF. I WAS DC'D FROM THE HOSP. SUN. 7/4. I HAD A FEW COMPLICATIONS. I WENT TO SEE PS ON TUES. HE REASSURED ME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD. MY NEXT APPT. IS MON. 7/11. CAN'T WAIT. HOPEFULLY HE'LL REMOVE THE DRESSINGS. I ALSO HAVE TO GO TO SEE MY GYN. AND UROLOGIST. URINATING SEEMS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS STILL SWOLLEN AND NUMB. IMAGINE NUMB AND PAINFUL. I FEEL A VARIETY OF SENSATIONS. MAYBE I CAN POST SOME PICTURES SOON. OH, MY HUSBAND SAYS I LOOK LIKE SOMETHING DR. JECKLE GOT A HOLD OF. I CAN LAUGH AT THAT NOW. NO CAN'T DO THAT EITHER, IT HURTS TO LAUGH,COUGH OR SNEEZE. I KNOW I'LL BE GLAD TO SEE SOME RESULTS. I AM STILL SWOLLEN. HOW LONG DOES THE SWELLING LAST?
Bless your heart......sounds like you had a rough start, but I hope you're feeling better... Today was my 6 week mark and I'm still swollen especially in the evenings....
Your tummy is so flat. Your pic looks great. Who is your dr? Do you recommend him?

Time flies when you're having fun, right? Well it's been 3 weeks since my TT, I seen my PS yesterday and it seems that everything is looking good and doing what it's suppose to be doing, so I'm HAPPY and PLEASED.. I still have some soreness which is part of the process, but I'm walking 100 % upright. I still feel like I'm going to pull something open. I wish there was a "Miracle" cure for the swelling. I'm down to wearing the Spanx during the day, and I also add the binder at night just for added support. Can't wait to see what my results are for next week!!

Hey girly, you should put up your current pics of your hot bods...I wanna see I wanna seee!!!!! HIt me up :)
Hey! I just put new pics up... I'm starting to see the results and I LOVE!! I still have a few spots on my belly buttom and lower incision line that need to be healed up, I'm using bio-oil and mederma.
holy crapstix...you look fab, OMG only 21 days and you look like that. I cant wait till I can get my binder off and my steri-stripes. When did you take yours off? Is mederma for your scar now, and bio-oil, Ill have to look into that? You starting takin this after you were able to get your binder off and all that good stuff, yeah?
Aw thank you! I don't think I look quite fabulous yet but hopefully soon! I didn't have steri-strips on my incision, when I came home it was covered in a glue like strip which started to come off in a week or so, there are no sutures to be removed since they dissolve, however I can feel and see a few. (it looks like clear fishing line) I wear the shapewear during the day and just add the binder that I came home with from the hospital with at night for added support. Yes, the bio-oil and mederma is to put on the scar several times a day
Hey Gypsy - GREAT pics!! Looking fabulous!! It just keeps getting better and better. Congrats!
Thanks so much! It does keep getting better and better with time... I just wish I wasn't so impatient, I want the results NOW!! :) You look AMAZING!
And thank you for the compliments too! :)
Question...did you notice that the more you stood up straighter the more the scar moved down? like mine seems so high up, but it could be from still so much swelling?? When did you feel that you coudl stand up completely straight? Im still feelin the tight in my upper tummy.
It does seem like the scar has moved down some which is good because I'm so short waisted as it is and need all the help I can get. There are still times when I stand up straight that it feels really tight. I was able to fully stand straight by the end of my 2 week... I still stay pretty swollen most of the time, which I hear will last for months!! Are you not able to stand straight yet?
well im appearing like I am ...but I still have a baby hunch and I can feel that Im not full erect. YOu know? I can still feel pulling which I know Im not standing completely straight, and Im not normally a sloucher so its odd. You know. I need to have more patience I guess...blahhhhhh I do however get to take my tape off my incision on monday..wooot! FInally I get to see what it really looks like
You will be amazed at the difference it's going to make once the tape is off... You look AMAZING already, just think what you're gonna look like in a few months, "Hot Momma" here you come!! :-)
just checked your latest pic and your scar looks amazing, i'm scheduled for 6th july and i would love it if my surgeon gives me a scar as good as yours. Looks like yours is going to fade completely sooner rather than later.
Thanks! It has some areas that are being stubborn bit otherwise it's looking good! Good luck on your upcoming surgery, just be prepared that it's a long recovery but worth it in the end... keep me posted!

Well I'm 2 weeks out from having my TT. The best advice that I think I can give is do ALL your research and KNOW that this is NOT a overnight result. It's a hard surgery but if you do what your suppose to, get the rest needed but most of all be patient, it all comes together. I've been all over the board with different emotions but I'm finally starting to feel good and like my results! I can't wait to see what it's going to look like in 6 months. I've lost 10 lbs and I'm back in my size 4's. Still dealing with swelling and have some pain, but overall life is good!! Will post new pics in a few days!!
