WORTH IT$8,600
It's been 6 wks. I feel very good. Walking, drinking lots of water and resting when my body tells me to. I look in the mirror every time and can't believe that's me. My hubby has become my stalker; he's amazed. I feel good; still swollen at the end of the day though. Can't wait to hit the gym, but for now I'm content with walking. I'm finally freee of the garment/girdle, sleeping on sides now (feels wierd) :)

I read somewhere that after healing from TT, you can put a small marble in the belly button to open it up. Does anyone remember reading this? Replies appreciated.
It's 12 days Post-op; feeling better. I drove to the store. I can't wait to be able to pick up things off the floor. I can't wait to get back to my normal rountines. I realize every one's results vary. I'm happy but I won't be doing this again. Ready to grow old gracefully

Thank you. I went on the site before but forgot the name. I love their encouragement. I know I'm not ready for the marble trick, but I want to be ready for when the time comes. Right now I'm miserable; especially at the end of the day. I feel like I'm pregnant & starting to show. =(
How are you doing with your recovery? Your pictures look good!

You probably feel miserable because you are so fatigued by the end of the day too. Hopefully the swelling will get better each day :)
My recovery is going as well as can be expected. Not too much swelling but get fatigued quickly and am short of breath. I think my tummy is so tight my diaphragm is still getting used to trying to expand!!! I also struggle with any turning movements because where the muscle has been repaired is quite tender. I usually would be exercising hard daily and at the moment a walk to the end of my street is exhausting! Everything is temporary though so I know it will get easier day by day- baby steps !
Keep your chin up and I bet that swelling will get better really soon :)

I agree! I’m 6 days post op, and I wouldn’t go through this again either.

I apologize for the improper intro. I'm 45, married 25 yrs w/ 4 grown children. I've been exercising & watching what I eat for yrs. Lost several inches on waist & thighs, was happy until I realize my middle jiggled & moved (yuck!)Had a trainer at the gym & all which made me stronger. I'm fit & solid but didn't like the jiggle in the middle and so I decided to do something for me. Swelling is down a bit & I'm looking ahead. (big smile)
Yes I read the information about the marble too. I think it was on a website called {edited}. I think you need to be a bit further down the track after surgery to do it? I will check this info too.. Happy healing :)
