WORTH IT$8,400
Finally made it to 3 months post op! {technically 3 mo and 8 days....} I'm the same size I was at 1 month. I'm still "lumpy" at my scar line ~ kinda feels like golf ball size swelling. My monthly period has gotten a little tiny bit better - the pre-swelling is still pretty noticeable but the pain has gotten better.
I ended up with a horrible sinus infection, on antibiotics, steroid pack, and cough syrup with codeine. After two weeks of being sick, I thought I tore something inside from all the damn coughing! Went to see my PS and much to his and my relief, I only 'pulled' a nerve that had begun to regrow in the ab muscles (hurt like hell!!!! Sharp Stabbing PAIN). PS prescribed a couple Oxycodin to get me over the initial pain. I only needed a couple of pills thank goodness! My PS said my abs were mostly healed at this point and once the cough is gone, can start working out as long as it feels ok!
I've added a few photos in clothes! I haven't changed sizes -- too much eating! I'm 200% pleased with my TT and would do it all over again if needed! I'm know working on my diet, exercising, toning up and getting on with life! My next goal is to lose 20 pounds and get strong. I'd like to do a few spots of lipo next summer! Gotta meet my goals first!
Aloha!

Wow! Time sure is flying by! It's probably because I flew back home to help my mom recover from 2 massive heart attacks! Yikes! She'll be fine, but I've been busy for the past two weeks taking care of her & her house, chores, shopping, etc.
I'm still swollen at the scar site - starting to wonder if it will ever go away...feels like two hard golf balls in there. I'll see my PS the first week of Feb. Maybe he'll have something helpful to tell me. I tried exercising and tore the tendon in the bottom of my left foot - soooooo - no cardio (other than biking) for the next 6-9 months (WTH???!!!!) I'm feeling very fat! As soon as I return home, I'm buying an exercise bike!
No new photos - tum still looks the same. Scar is red and mostly flat except for the center area where it feels hard & swollen. Oh well....got other things to take care of.
Cheers!

Hi Kathe! Thanks for your kind words! I just stumbled on your page and will read your diary when I get home and am fighting jet lag! :-) I'm so happy for you! You'll be amazed!!! Just plan on a good 6 months for recover...it get's kinda tedious but take it all one day at a time and it'll be well worth it! I get so tickled when I lay on my side in bed and my tummy is still flat! Not laying on the bed next to me!!!! Talk to ya soon! Cherie

UGH! I can't do simple math...I thought I was already past the 7th week but I'm not. I'll be 7 weeks post op THIS Friday! I'm so ready to be back to 'normal' :/
My mom had a massive heart attack this past weekend, she's going to be ok thank God -- but I'll need to fly home to help her when she's released from the hospital. I don't know when that will be so I'm trying to get myself ready for a short notice phone call....I'm assuming it'll be next week or the week after at the earliest. I hope my swelling will be better by then. I'm not looking forward to 10 hours of flying with the possibility of more swelling.
Has anyone else flown after only 2 months post op? C

So sorry to hear about your mom :-( Remember, before your flight, to load up on the water. Staying hydrated will help keep your blood thinner (to prevent dvt's during flight) and will help keep the swelling down. Good luck with everything.
