Nov 13, 2011
Well it has now been just over 12 weeks. My infected area, opening is almost closed up. Yeah for that. Hopefully soon I can have a nice relaxing bath.
So, I found that it took me exactly 6 weeks to feel normal again, driving, walking, etc. I find my tummy gets sore if I go without my binder for a long time. I am not working so, not sure if I would be able to do the 5 days a week 9 hour days.
I find my right side right from the beginning has had more issues. I do find my scar on the right side is brighter red and more tender. I still get some tightness around my pubis area.
My belly button has healed fantastic. I'm enclosing some new pics.

3 weeks post op! Thursday Well, it's now...
3 weeks post op! Thursday
Well, it's now officially been 3 weeks since the "big" day. I'm glad I did it, love the results, glad I only have to do it once in this life. I find I'm achy all over. My muscles and stuff, I asked the PS, they said it's pretty normal. I definately need a good stretch, mostly my legs are achy. I have been using creams - Arnica gel, A535, etc to help out. I usually do a lot of yoga, so I guess I'm feeling pretty stagnant. I also have lower back issues, especially sciatic nerve so I'm touching wood that it doesn't flair up.
I'm still wearing a binder, it holds the dressings on and I feel more comfortable with it on. I take advil a couple of times a day to help with the swelling, but that's about it for pain medication.
I have noticed I can start to sleep a little bit on my one side, the other hip is still tender from the lipo, I'm assuming.

Day 14 Friday
Well yesterday was my 2 week post op day. Feeling pretty good except with this setback of an open wound. We are changing the dressing twice a day. I'm curious on how it is going to heal back together.
I've been doing a little bit more and more. I sure notice how much I swell when I'm doing things. I'm not sure how some people are able to go back to work right away. Because of where the opening is, I am mostly wearing sweats or PJ bottoms.
Anyone else have an opening and how long did it take to heal?

Provider Review
Everything has been very good, super friendly staff, Dr. McLean is very nice. So far, I do not have any complaints. I seen the results in the mirror at the dr. office and it looks pretty good.Updated on 26 Aug 2011:I just had my TT with Lipo yesterday. I found the clinic very friendly, courteous, informative, and supportive. Dr. McLean answered all of my questions and he was very nice. When I was leaving the clinic yesterday from the surgery, I was given a red rose. Very nice. I also liked the fact that I had a no drain TT, it seems to be much more comfortable.
