7 months post op and so content and confident. I love my tummy and still working out . The abs look great nice and tone sexy not manly. I stll wear these sexy garment compression panties ,helps feel good and keeps swelling down when im on my feet al day. plus it helps fell good holding everything tight . it takes a while to heal and scar therapy started right after drains were out and no open skin. You can barley see a scar, You really have to look up close .. greatest thing i ever did fo myself... happy healing everyone.... Read 50 shades of grey all three books if you didnt already , keeps you busy while your resting and so Empowering for women... Love it...

Thank you for your update! I am only 2.5 weeks out and hating the swollen look..freaking myself out that I wont ever be able to see my abs again. I love to see your progression and how the difference in bloating looks. You look amazing in the bikini! When did you start scar therapy? Also, do you see a difference in your abs after working them out?

What type/brand of garment are you using now? At what point did you start? When did you start back to you abdominal work? You look great, great for us newbies to be inspired!

i strated working out easy by about the 6th week post op. i wear these very sexy u would not believe they are garment compression panties made by vedette 338 post surgery compression garment thong or full recover garment...Just write that on ebay it will come right up... i love the way the thong ones look with leggings and the have eyelet running up the front .so nice under tee shirts anything. I wear them to work and with dress clothes, most of all keeps me from swelling i stated wearing them day 4 post op and never stopped.. good luck with recovery , and keep in touch...

Thank you for your continued follow up. I often wonder if women continue to be happy with this decision. I'm 6 days away from my TT and excited / nervous!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season . for all of you who are going to have TT done in the future, all i can say is it really does change your life for the better....God Bless .....

Thank you for your update. I have some really good days followed by some even worst bad days. Your encouragement gives me hope. I will be 6 weeks PO this Tuesday (12/11/12). Tonight I'm laying in bed swollen and in pain wishing I had never done this to myself. Tomorrow will be better:-)

Hi Louie, so good to hear you are doing so well, you also look amazing. Grabbing your life my the horns lets say and enjoying it is exactly why I am doing this as well. I'm tired of making decision about should I go here or should I wear this based on this stupid gut. Only a few days left and it's my turn ! Enjoy,
