47 This is my journey

Swollen again but I'm now starting to accept that if I do more, then I will swell. 9 weeks is still early on in the game so I suppose I need to make the most of my slim days lol. I've posted some pictures of before and after TT and pictures of my scar over 9 weeks. My BBC still has a ring of a fine red scar around it but I'm not to bothered as I'm aware it will take the longest to heal!

Forgot to say that at looking at some people's scars I'm sooooooo happy I went to Dr Khan in Milton Keynes (Transform). Not only did I have no incision pain, his scar line is even and so thin I really believe it will fade allot over the next year. All stiches disolved to which I didn't see them anyway and it felt nice and tight with no wobbly bits left over. I did have however two small sore bits at the end of each incision line and it was where the knot on both ends had been tied. That was the only uncomfortable bit I felt and once at the clinic with the most fantastic nurse ever "lola" she assured me, showed me how to massage the area and what to act on should it become infected. Need less to say it all resolved itself after folowing her advice. I have been so lucky not to have had complications or be disappointed but any of my care. Any ways thought I'd add that little bit!

Hi I'm now 9 weeks post op. I've been out shopping and I have to say that every time I stood in front of a shop mirror trying on a dress or denims I felt someone else had stuck my head on the body that was staring back at me. I've started to take shape and flatten out a little (but suckling in helps allot).
I need to tone up a little but suckling things in even tighter helps with that solid block of ice feeling on the front of my stomach. It's building up with mussle control and it's helping allot with my shape. I still have to rest at night as I swell and laying down with my feel up soon takes the swelling down again. I have to be patient and not loose sight of what I first walked into a PA room with! Saggy tummy, overspill of fat, no waist and low self esteem. So I'm feeling more positive and every time I look at the body staring back at me I think " don't know who you have become but you bloody look good"!. See you all soon........
