Are you confident in your dr? I'm in Lake aCharles also and am searching for a surgeon. Are you having lip too?

Keep us posted!!!! I am a couple weeks behind you and cannot wait to get rid of the "skin flap"..... Super exciting time for us!!!

I am excited for you. You will be happy to get rid of the mud flap. Its no cake walk but carrying around 10lbs of fat around my belly button was worse. Take it easy as hard as it may be.

I had a TT, lipo of flanks last week by dr hanemann in baton rouge and am amazed by his work @tomiefox. I have a few friends that used colpits as well but not for TT.

I am feeling ok. I guess as good as expected it was a total of 5900. I did not have lipo due to blood loss from Hysterectomy.

I'm getting better. Stopped taking my pain meds yesterday. Still can't stand up straight nor for long periods because my back hurts from leaning over so much. Just the tt cost about $7000. I had some lipo done as well which made my total $9000.

Day 5 pre opp Ewww.. I am miserable. I am tired but can not sleep. It is impossible to get comfortable.I have dropped 11 pounds of water weight since pre opp. I am in and out at times because of pain medicine. I also had an abdominal hysterectomy so I can not tell which pain is which.

I was ok after 1 1/2 weeks. still swollen. I remember the first week thinking this will NEVER go away but it will. Tara you already look like 1/2 the size you were. Hang in there!!!!

Around week 2. But you will notice when you stand up straight it will exhaust you for a long time. I am 4 weeks 2 days and I no longer get tired in the shower or have any issues just swelling, and this hole in me. Oh and oIstill

Yes omg I've noticed I do get so fatigued and that's not like me at all shaky etc...

It will get better. I had a hysterectomy along with the full ft so I may not be normal circumstances. But sleeping in the bed is still hard at a month out. I feel like a baby elephant is sitting on my side. I had alot of meat removed so it was pretty extensive. I still can not get in my pre opp clothes and I have lost almost 17 lbs since walking into the or a month ago. It must be an optical illusion.

:( Sorry to hear that you are uncomfortable and in pain, i hope that you feel better soon, it'll all be worth it. I'll send happy thoughts your way.
