PO 4 weeks..... Well I am back at the cardio......
WORTH IT$17,300
PO 4 weeks.....
Well I am back at the cardio......and let me tell you .....it feels frickin amazing to sweat again. I did a RPM (spin) class this morning at 5:30 am. I wore my hip hugger compression panties that I found at Ross under my spandex workout gear and that held me pretty well. I did not go full speed....kept my heart rate to a lower zone, but still burned almost 400 calories in 45 minutes. It feels so good to be back at it....I am hoping by the end of next week I am at 100% on cardio. Going to do cardio (and ease into weight lifting) and then start back with my personal trainer May 7th. LOVE LOVE LOVE how I am feeling these days. Life is good.
Happy Friday (yikes the 13th) to all you gals out there........hope it is a great one!!!

3 Weeks PO
I had my 3 week PO appt yesterday and it went very well. My PS is very pleased with my healing and energy. He has given me the go ahead for cardio starting next weekend. This girl is ready to get her sweat on. I cannot wait.....I so miss being a gym rat. He asked that I wait for 2 - 3 more weeks before returning to my personal trainer. I can live with that....it gives me time to get my mojo back on the cardio.
I also have to continue to wear the CG until 6 weeks......so 3 weeks for me to go!!! (whoo hoo....will be glad to get rid of that). I was also shown how to move my implants .....so let's add that to the list of "playing with myself" dutties that I currently have. LOL
There is one area of my tummy incison that he is not pleased with and he will correct it around the 3 month mark. Love that he is a perfectionist. He is so impressed that I have done so well with the amount of tissue he removed. (He informed me there are usually issues). I am glad (and blessed) to be healing so well.
I am still swollen ......and he informed me that I will be a very happy girl in about 3 months... HELL....I am already a happy girl. He gets an A for sure..... I am very pleased at this point.... At first I was worried my boobs were too small....but they are a 36D and that is just were I wanted to be. So all is good!!!
After the appt....my boobs and I went shopping...we had a great time and got a few things for our son's wedding in Jamacia this summer.
Happy Healling to all of you out there .......and count your blessings this weekend. Have a wonderful and blessed Easter!!

Thanks Girl......I have not had a red dress EVER...... I am just using a vitamin E oil on the scars.......massaging them each for around 5 minutes....twice a day (PS would like 3 times, but not possible at work). I have several nurse friends...they all say that is doesn't matter so much what you use on the scars, just make sure to massage. Getting the blood flow to these sites is what really makes them heal nicely. The revision is on my left....and I think it is covered by my panties. So glad to have this surgery done....I am lovin life!!!

TWO WEEKS TODAY.
Well it is 2 weeks ago as of today and I am feeling pretty darn good.....and very thankful for that. I have swelling at night, but that is to be expected. I have my 2 week appt tomorrow and hoping I can get the go ahead to start walking and maybe easy riding on my bike.
I also am wondering how long you have to sleep on your back (cause it sucks) and how long you have to be confined to the bra and CG 24/7.
I woke up at 4:30 this morning....got up and open all the doors and windows to cool the house for the day and TOOK off everything......climbed back in bed with my honey and snuggled up to him on my side. YEP....you heard me my side!!! We have been married almost 29 years and NEVER have worn anything to bed, so that is driving us both crazy!!! Was the best 15 minutes in the last two weeks that I have had.........LOVE that guy!
I am hoping my PS gives me some good news tomorrow. I also bought a hip hugger CG garment and taking to appt to see of that is something I can wear some of the time...... wish me luck tomorrow ladies!!
Happy Thursday and hope you are all healing (and dealing with it) well!!

Just finished reading your whole story. Seems that the pain pump was a life saver. Darn it I just told PS I didn't want it! Two weeks and your up and around. I hope my healing is like that. You look beautiful and natural. The way you should be! Did you tell many friends that you were doing this? Have they noticed?

Hey NextChapter.......Your big day is TOMORROW.. Big congrats and I will send good vibes your way. You are a tall gal like me....only you are a thin little thin. The pain pump was awesome..... I guess I must also handle pain well .....which was a plus for sure. You will do fine and be so happy to be on the healing side. As far as telling....hell, all my girlfriends have know I wanted to do this for 10 years, so they are all very happy for me. I have 4 brothers....and they all thought their Sis was just fine the way I was..... (we also have three sons...I live in the world of men) and our oldest just told me not to turn into a plastic barbie. I have had great support from most everyone....I have run into those that are jealous, but I but them out of my mind ASAP. I worked two long years to get back to me...and this reward is worth it. Don't let anyone make you feel anything but positive. Best wishes tomorrow and keep me posted......you are gonna love the new you!!! PS...most of my friends live out of state...so I sent them before and after...they are amazed .......I have great girlfriends!!!
