Well I'm 18 days PO went back to work at 7 days from home office and went back to work on the road today. What a day. I am really tight right now. It was a 9 hour day on the road and in meetings. I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As soon as I can stand straight all day and stretch I will be so happy. They say my cloths will get loose but right now they are a bit tight. I weigh a few lbs less but my waste and hips measure 1.5 inch larger. I am looking forward to the smaller version. Spirits are good but need more rest and really don't have much time to do so. I'm happy I'm on the other side of the hill now and looking foreword to the improved bod.
I have been out many times with friends and customers and not one person said I look thinner or different, but I guess I'm hunched over and it really is not weight lose but a flat belly. Wait I wear that little black dress for the Christmas party :)
I still have not told Anyone but my husband I got this done. But so glad I can check in here to talk about it.
I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi glad you made it , and you look good! nobody knows I had it done either told everyone I was having a hernia repaired, and that seemed to work, I did't stand straight for at least 3 or 4 weeks.

Nicks Mom, Thanks! My symptoms was a lot of swelling around the bottum of belly close to the incision. I was in pain, couldn't stand up straight, and I felt really tight all the time. I was so tight and had so much pressure, when I ate or had to use the bathroom it got tighter and painful. When driving in the car every bump in the road I felt in my stomach. It would jiggle.Since my PS drianed the area yesterday, I feel 100% now. I have more enegry and I look much smaller in the waist and stomach area. Thanks god!!! I think I may have to get it drained again nest week. I can see a jiggly spot on my right side developing. Hopefully I dont have to go through this weekly. You should probably get checked out by your PS. I was walking around for three weeks with seroma because I wasnt sure what is was suppose to look or feel like. I'm really glad to here from you Nick Mom! Please let me know what the out come is.

I am scheduled to get my TT on Oct 6th. My breast lift went well and is feeling good now. Still a little tender but good. I am going to ask when I go in for my TT to raise my nipples a littleif it is not too hard. They are just a little too low and I told him I wanted them higher. I was on the fence about getting the TT but I know I will be so happy when I do. A friend of mine who is a nurse said that blood clots ate most common when having surgery in the belly area.....That freaked me out!!!, I have a few more months to work out more and feel better but I don't want to lose too much weight since I don't want my breasts to get any smaller. Going from a F to a DD was small enough.

Hello Sassy, still sore and can't stand up straight but spirits are good. I have to say I worry too much and have to plan 3 days in advance of what I'm going to do since I have been back at work and need to make sure I won't be too swollen that part of the day I go out. I hate telling everyone I hurt my back because I have not told anyone about my surgery , not even my Mom or friends. The only person who knows is my husband so this sight is a great help. How are you?

I'm still waiting. When did you have your TT? You're back to work already. Mine is being covered while I'm out getting my foot surgery. So no one knows what all I'm getting done except for my assistant. The bent over part is what I'm worried about.

I am 17 PO and going back to work full time tomorrow and fly to San Diego Tuesday for the day all in heels and skirt... I am a little scared but I saved a few pain meds just in cast. I tend to walk fast but if I just go a little slower I'm better and can stand a little straighter. Some people are standing straight in 4 days and others 4 weeks. Try to think positive but don't worry if it takes time to heal. The back being out is the best excuse :) swelling is crazy but I had tension sutchers so the swelling has no place to go so I just get REAL tight then I hunch more. When you get it done stay on this sight it is really helpful. When do you get yours?

Hey lady! Well worth the wait! Omg you look amazing! I too told everyone that iput my back out...it starts getting old at about 4 weeks out of surgery and you will still be telling people "oh yes I put my back out but it's getting better each day" for about 8 weeks after that. Lol

You look amazing. I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am just so hard on myself. I want to see the workout queen before baby and 20 lbs lighter, but I am happier and to know I will be able to wear clothes without hiding my belly. It also gets me motivated to go back to the gym. I just stopped because everything I did would not make my belly go away. Now no excuse. Can't wait!!!

My breast still are sore and tender:( almost 4 weeks POI also am not too happy with my nipple placement. As low as they were before the lift... just with smaller breasts.
Also a little boxy. Looks strange naked but looks good in cloths. I can t seem to send pics via iPad or iPhone so will have to wait until I get to a laptop. doc said I need to let them settle but not sure they will settle in the right place. I'm hoping. If the sorriness goes away I don't think I will dwell on as much. When I go in for my TT maybe he can lift the nipple but then there is always the chance that It will not be what I want. Oh my what to do....
