6 almost 7 weeks post op
Hey ladies, I hope everyone is doing great :) Well I cant believe how fast time flies.. Not much to report. I went for my 6 week check up on Friday. I am now cleared to resume normal activities.. I can also begin to start scar therapy. The brand recommended by my PS is Rejuveness silicone sheet, it is a bit expensive. I also bought cocoa butter skin therapy oil which I use to massage my scar twice a day. I am getting weekly massages as well. I went to the beach on Monday and noticed that the part of my scar that is on my hips is a bit low which means it is not covered by all bathing suits or even certain underwear.... My scar is not a happy face it is a frown... I have to speak to my doctor about this issue....Besides this I am very happy with my results.....Happy healing to all

Hiya. I have a quick question about the medi honey. Did you PS clear you to use it on your incision? And how and when did you start using it?

Hey everyone... I can't believe it 4 weeks.... I...
Hey everyone... I can't believe it 4 weeks.... I had my first massage yesterday, it felt good, no pain... For some reason I can't relax when I'm getting a massage.. the masseuse told me I have to take it easy and be more gentle with my body, lol.. Maybe if the table/bed was not so high i wouldn't have to stretch to get on it (my short self).. Today I had my month post op appt.. The nurse is still amazed at my recovery.. I saw another TT patient that had her drains taken out today... I told her that she will feel better soon that those first 2 weeks are the hardest....The nurse showed me all my before pics...there are pics from the beginning of my journey in Sept. 2011, my Lipo pre-op, the day of lipo pics and finally my day of TT pics....incredible the change I have gone through in less than a year... It was not all surgery, up to date I lost 25+ pounds on my own...I cannot wait to get the all clear to work out which should be in two weeks...The hubs took me shopping on Monday I bought a couple of things (size 8) :) and I'm still getting smaller.... It was exciting because I haven't shopped in a while and I'm a total shopaholic...The main reason i wanted a TT was to look better in my clothes...and it feels great to look down and not see those rolls anymore.....Happy Healing to all.....Happy 4 Weeks to all the 29rs....

3 Weeks Post Op Wao ladies I can't believe it...
3 Weeks Post Op
Wao ladies I can't believe it that tomorrow will be 3 weeks.... time flies.. I am feeling better everyday.. I am walking straight and faster now.. On Monday I went for a long walk, I noticed that the longer I walked the more hunched I became and the tighter my stomach felt... But yesterday and today I feel great almost back to normal :) I had a post op appt. yesterday thank God I didn't have to get poked with that long syringe again but my incision is still not closed. The PS inspected it he said no infection that is just the fatty tissue which maybe opened up because of a minor strain... He said not to worry about it and not to put anything on it... Just to put a gauze over it...He said it should close in a week or so...I still have a lot of swelling mainly on my left side...Besides that everything is great.... Sometimes when I think about that little part of my incision I get so upset... everything else is healing so well even the rest of the incision has closed nicely I even have itchiness already on my scar but this darn section..... I blame myself I remember that first week post up I was feeling ok but I took it easy then I got the indoor blues and decided a week post up to go with the kids to the park ( not a good idea) that was the evening that I noticed the opening on my incision.... So you ladies that are beginning your recovery please stay put even if you feel you are ok.... Stay sitting in your sofa, recliner, or bed... DONT RISK IT.... I would have had an excellent recovery and most likely my incision would have been a scar by now if I would have kept my behind on my sofa but hindsight is 20/20, right....
I am posting a new pic of my midsection in my Vedette Faja ( CG )... It is nice and tight hopefully it will help with the swelling...
I hope all my 29rs are doing well.....Wishing everyone a speedy recovery :)

Hey Ready, thank you... I feel smaller :).... I bought this faja on Amazon for $84, they also have it on EBay... I bought a size small it was a little bit of a struggle to get it on but once it on it's fine... I feel compress but not choked to death.... It was much easier to put it on the second time... It goes down to my thighs and is braless... I'm trying to keep it on as long as possible... Happy 3 weeks :)

I love that you told all the newbies to not push it! I am sure your belly will be closed soon. OMG you are so small, you can really tell from your jeans, I dont think I would be able to get your pants over my hips. how much smaller are you then when you began - even before the lipo.

Hey B, I am not worry about the incision anymore because it is not deep n the PS said its just the fatty tissue....From the beginning I have lost like 25 pounds... That is like in a years time.. With the lipo I didn't really loOse any weight it was contouring...I think I was 150 before the TT now I'm 143....I'm between sizes 8-10. ... But I was a size 12 always after I had my kids....but I do noticed that my waist small.... My hips are still swollen as well and I have to work my upper arms....
