Hi ladies day 44 & feeling much better
WORTH IT$8,400
Hello RS ladies I hope everyone is recovering beautifully. Sorry I haven't been updating frequently. Work and family have most of my attention and little time for writing.... I've posted some new pics of my swollen belly, still have a lot to go slowly but surely I'm getting there... The spasms that I mentioned in an earlier update have gotten better. I saw my PS on 5/24 and he looked at my BB and said I should leave it to air dry and no more gauze inside of it, so I noticed Tuesday that my BB got significantly smaller which I was not to thrilled about so now I'm using a marble to shape my BB, I asked the Dr. and he said it was fine as long as it's completely healed. In my pics I wore the same clothes as my pre-op pics to see the difference in size, I'm still very swollen and I have a few dark spots from the surgical tape that made blisters on my skin post op. The Dr. also said I can try to do some crunches which I did and that felt weird, only did 3 b4 the burning started. I have to talk to Dr. Yager about my right hip area seems to be bigger than the other side. I hope I don't have to get it lippoed

1st week working
This is my first week back to work and honestly, I wish I were home for @ least another week. It's crazy how I took things for granted such as: being able to bend to tie my shoes, shave, kiss my son, look 4 a pot or pan, cough,even speaking etc... I mean, this TT w MR and any other procedure is very debilitating and u can b very limited into doing something so simple as reaching over to get something, reminds you right away that u need to do it slower and methodical. All I can do it b patient. Time will heal us all... Be safe, b kind and God Bless u all. Happy healing. :)

Did u do any of the massages? How many does he give you? Do they hurt?
May 22, 2014
Yes, I did the massage and yes it did hurt in certain spots. The lady that did my massage asked me if I wanted her to do it soft or medium or if I wanted her to use the machine???. Lol I was in no condition @ 2 weeks to be massaged by no machine...lol... her hands and the oil she used was good enough... He only gives u 1 free massage and they charge $65 per massage and a package of 7 for $420. My husband has been massaging me so I saved some cash...lol

Thanks for responding. Do they really help the massages? I live in Long Island don't want to pay a toll back and forth for massages. Do you know the name of the massages I need.
May 22, 2014
I honestly wouldn't pay for it, you can have anyone ur close with to massage u and you can do it urself while bathing with the soap and lotioning

Lol yes I understand. Let's see. I did full lipo on my back and the tummy tuck when were you able to walk up straight tomorrow will be a week. I return to work June 6 but I'm tired of walking hunched

hello Ms. myriam424 happy to hear you went out for a walk today, although you feel exhausted its good to get up and out even if its for a little bit. your incision is nicely placed ;-) and i see you can stand upright now.. Have you been drinking the prescribed pain meds or ES Tylenol? are you planning on getting any post op massages? and are you still wearing your binder or a CG? sorry for all the questions i know you're tired but when you get a chance you can answer at your connivence. happy and healthy healing my fellow RS sis

Hello, I'm 19 days post and still wearing the binder. It helps keep the swelling down, I wear it all the time and Friday I can start wearing the spanx waist controller and that will be for a few months also. :))
April 29, 2014
Yes, I've finished the pain meds only 32 pills... I took xs Tylenol but really doesn't do much for me. I have the CG on now, because the binder was scrapping me with the Velcro part which I didn't feel, since it all feels numb, I developed a huge water blister were the surgical tape was placed. I put bacitracin on it . Just waiting a bit to put the binder back on...the binder squishes everything together, wanna air it out for a bit. A brief talk about the massage came into play last visit but my PS didn't say when. I have an appt. Friday to get "Drained" , maybe I'll ask him then...:)

You're freaking hilarious. Is there a way that I can follow you on here? LOL I have my TT with Yager this Tuesday coming.
May 15, 2014
Lol... Good to have some humor during this nerve racking process. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I searched Dr. Yager in Real self and pressed follow and it should fall into your news feed. If not, just tap my owl and it will take you to there... I wish you the very best. God bless you, see you on the flat side :)

Hey Sweetie how are you doing?
May 16, 2014
Hi Nov, I'm doing better day by day...Lots of what I call tummy spasms. In the morning, it's like an uncontrollable urge to stretch and ur abs contract. Which sort of hurts. I don't like that feeling bcuz of the MR. Thanks 4 asking. How are u?
