5 weeks post op! Where did the time go?? No pain,...

WORTH IT$7,950
5 weeks post op! Where did the time go?? No pain, occasional tightness... FINALLY sleeping flat and as of 2 nights ago on my side... Still feels a littls funny for some reason so I hug a pillow into my tummy. Swelling was minimal until the last few days I have been a little too lax on the diet... Nacho's & Stir-Fry in the same day, who the hell thought that was a good idea?! So, I am in a sodium induced puff-session. Other then that I am feeling good. One thing I keep forgeting to mention is it appears I have a HUGE dimple where my right drain was, in my public region... I know swelling could be contributing but, it doesnt look like its going anywhere. The left side is minimal but, it kind of looks like a vampire bit my vajayjay! Just thought that was note worthy to see if anyone else has had this. Its not something I am overly upset about and it would not make me regret my TT in any way but, it does a little strange.. but, if that is my only "complication" then we are in goood shape!! Lets see other than that... everything is back to normal... I guess that is all for now! Pics later:)

Hey girl!
You look so good!!!! =)
Your results are great! I am happy to find a short girl with before & after pictures. I am 5'2 but weigh 180 pounds & am really worried that I'm not going to look so great after my surgery. I don't have enough time to lose very much weight & with all the nervousness I find myself eating a little more then I should. Well you look great! any advice would be great! Thanks
Your pics look wonderful! Can't wait to do this myself! Good luck!

Mini bitchfest- Although I am feeling pretty good....

Mini bitchfest- Although I am feeling pretty good.. I would like to say, I might pay another $8000 just to be able to crack my freakin' back!!!! And, my belly button looks ridiculous because of this swelling... its crooked and barely open and gives my whole belly a weird look. Also... while I am complaining already I am not trilled with how high my... erm.. "hairline" is now, and its strange to be how the scar makes me appear really short waisted now.. I have always been the opposite so, its just odd. I am over the swelling and, I promise I will try and make this my one and only completely negative post because I know I will be trilled soon enough... but, "soon enough" better hurry the frig' up!

I had a problem with the higher than normal hairline too and I was so freaked out that I was gonna have to shave my stomach but oddly enough it's like the hair stopped growing up at the top if the hairline. Thank god!!
I have noticed the hair doesnt seem overly eager to grow there either... But, still have some right under the incision... Im to nervous to shave them, so I am considering plucking for now... there are just a few but they are seriously irking me!! Lol
I think you look amazing! Your pics give me a lot of optimism, I can only hope to look that good. My surgery is June 22. I hope you are feeling okay by now :)
I had some hair that grew on the incision line too and I plucked it cuz I was afraid to shave it. I'm gonna be 7 weeks post op tomorrow and I have been able to shave the stay hairs for a couple weeks now and I think it has pretty much stopped growing now.... It's really weird!!!
