11 weeks have gone by now, wow! The first thing...
WORTH IT$13,000
11 weeks have gone by now, wow! The first thing that comes to mind is I still swell.... grrrr. In the evening when I do too much and at TOM. My last PS appointment was good. I can now wear any even underwire bras. He said that the lumps on my TT incision will go away just takes time. He suggested to use the paper tape on the incision so that is what I am doing. I can’t stand using the silicone gel it takes way too long to dry. Any way life is getting bake to normal BETTER than normal. I am very excited with the new body. I love buying clothes now!! OMG it is so easy now! I am also looking at getting into a new career so life is very busy. Take care everyone enjoy the new you!! This has been the best thing I have done for myself!!

I still swell daily. I have AB pain like I have been working out. I get a tightness in my tummy that is very tight and hard feeling. Hate that wish is would leave SOON.

hi! how are your BL scars? I'm afraid of the lollipop scar but I've been reassured that it fades with time but since I'm of mixed raised with the tendency for keloid scarring , I'm a bit nervous about my BL. I'm also doing a mommy makeover in Sept 2012~

hi miamimom, My BL scars are fading. It's funny though the scars dont seem to bother me. My husband doesnt have ANY issues with it either. I will post pictures soon. to show what the scars are like now. I have not been diligent in putting on the scar cream. I think it's normal to be a little nervous before surgery. Talk to your PS about your concerns and do lots of research on creams.

You look amazing! Sorry you had a hard time in the beginning. I did too :/ I can't imagine two procedures at once. I got breast implants in 2008,and almost did my tt then, I would have died. The breasts were SO bad, so painful. Got my tt on May 9, and had to have surgery again 13 days. Outside of the complication, the recovery would have gone better than the breast surgery, but that's probably because I didn't have any muscle work done, only skin. The reason my breasts implants hurt so bad is they had to manipulate the muscle to get the implant under there.
My first thought when I saw your most recent picture is that there is no way she is 49! That is a ROCKING bod, girl!

Hi there Time to do something, first of all thank you for your very kind words :)!! I read some of your journey and am so sorry you had to go through a 2nd surgery. Sound like all is going good for you now though and that is super fantastic.

Today My upper abs are burning WTF is going on now...
Today My upper abs are burning WTF is going on now. So going back over what I did yesterday.... I went grocery shopping was in a hurry so I packed in more bags at one time. Brush out 2 horses. Rode one horse for about 10 min. Everything else was just what I do normally. I wonder if I did too much yesterday of if it a combined over the last few days :(. I hope it doesnt last too long.

Thanks for your kinda words, WSL, you are right. There aren't a lot of us out there with just BL anymore. I'm glad you're still happy after 6 months.

I hope that you feel better soon. I thought that once you were at the 6wk mark you were cleared for any and every kind of activity. Yikes. Hubs will be home for 1 month with me then I am on my own during the am caring for 3 small kids, one in diapers.

Hi and Congrats on the MM! Its a long recovery period-but so worth it iin the end. I did want to add my .02 about riding- I ride Grand Prix Show Jumpers- and had a few major and minor set backs with my MM, but it took me 4 months to get back on a hoirse and it was the longest 4 months ever! Be sure to listen to your body!! I got back on to soon and reopened a wound.
Goodl uck! I hope your recovery goes smoothly from here on out!

Yup I am at 4 months and my abs are just now ready for working out. (with care) i use to do A LOT of ab work so my abs were strong and flat. but it doesnt make any difference.. they still hurt if you over do it. To much streaching pulls on thoes inner sutures before the body is fully ready thats what the PS said was going on. then thoes muscles will get inflamed and sore and then your going to regret it if you continue to push it... I honestly think I wold have healed sooner if I would have just chilled for a full 3 months. I mean think of how mush thoes tummy muscles do. Getting up on the horse ...tummy ... packing groceries..tummy..
So curious.. what are you using tape on now? and for what?
