So I had my last visit with my PS until DECEMBER! Gaah! I'm healing fine, so no need. I'll take my official "after" pics then.

Had to put back on Spanx due to some swelling, just to see if it helps. If not, time will, I'm sure. Not too worried about it.

Started back doing abs at the gym yesterday. Just light, but I'm not sore today so maybe I'll add a few pounds to the machine next time.

As mentioned before, I'm doing WW to try to lose some of the other fat on my body. Want to look extra good in those after pics! :)

What doctor did you end up using? What procedures did you have? What was the total cost?

Things are going well here....my swelling is going down some. Exercising some, just started WW again to get rid of some of the other fat on my body. ;)

Scar tape has started to come off, scar looks good. Flat and smooth, but pink.

My only regret is not getting lipo on my inner thighs. Oh well. Next time. ;)

My seroma is gone! 2 months post TT

So I'm now 2 months out and feeling good. My seroma is gone so I'm able to not wear my binder or spanx constantly. I go back for a recheck next week, fingers crossed its really resolved.

I'm still somewhat swollen, but otherwise feel great. Well, except that I've gained a few pounds post-surgery and I need to get back on track. At least I still weigh less than I did on surgery day!

I have been back at the gym, running two miles at a time, and doing some arm and leg exercises.

Wearing scar tape still (will wear for 12 weeks total) so not entirely sure what it looks like. But this morning a length of it on my left side came off and it looks like I have a very tiny dog ear there. Not at all worried about it, my doctor is fabulous and will take care of it if necessary.

I just had a small amount drained today at 9weeks po! I think if i wore my cg longer and especially when exercising it wouldnt have happened but who really knows for sure? I was told no exercise for 2 more weeks. =(

So crazy! I had two visits a week apart with no fluid to drain, so I hope it's really and truly gone. Ugh. I have been wearing my binder when I exercise (that's an attractive sight!) and my doctor said it was fine, so we'll see... Hope yours goes away soon!
