All's good, all's well, I'm happy, no swell!

After 5 months, life is normal. I can do anything I did before surgery and have all my energy back. I have numbness still and get some swelling, but really can't pinpoint why I swell. The hot days? Over worked? Pulling, tugging, pushing, lifting, bending? Maybe all of that, but it doesn't slow me down. I feel good! I would do this surgery again in a minute and this time, would take advantage of resting, getting pampered, taking lots of time off work, not worry about rushing into "getting back to normal". I love not having the big fat flabby roll of loose skin and fat (anyone else have that? Hahahhaah) hanging around. Gone and gone for good! Best thing I did for myself. Summer has been fabulous and I'm loving life!! Take care all my TT friends. Be good to yourself and as Ellen says, be kind to one another.

Surgery was March 18th...seems like eons ago. I love my new flat self. I feel great, am back to where I was before surgery minus the dough roll, exercising, working, loving life. I have muscle soreness if I try to do sit ups, but that and my scar is the only reminder that I even had surgery. Oh, and the fact that I am down 20 pounds and have no fat roll!! I sure hope everyone is doing great, feeling strong, and loving life! I feel so blessed to have breezed through this surgery (it is major!) had no complications, love my results and was able to make many TT friends here. I've been reading updates and sure can relate to all the questions, pre surgical anxieties, the first week post op....but I'd do it again in a minute! I stopped the pain meds a week after surgery, I ditched my CG at week 3, started back slowly to exercising at
week 6, and it's been all up hill since! Oh, and I do actually still get some swelling, but I know it has to do with my workouts and active life. I know in time it will stop, so I haven't let it slow me down. Hugs to all of you, loving the flat side!

I went to see my PS today and he said I don't have to come back unless I have any unforeseen issues. I'm healed, I'm back to life as I knew it before surgery and feeling great! My TT scar is thin and in some places, has practically disappeared! I love my results and couldn't be happier with how I feel. The first week after surgery is just a faded memory of discomfort, pain meds, lots of sleeping, being waited on and cared for by my wonderful husband, and making sure I kept my binder on! I didn't even know what a binder was before all of this. I've gained knowledge, gotten goose bump feel goods from all of you and been able to share about me knowing I had acceptance and understanding. Thank you everyone, for being so good to me! I have a flat tummy and I am happy!
