12 weeks post op
Where has the time gone?? I cant belive it is 12 weeks since i had my life changeing opperations and my only regret is that i did not have this done years ago.
I have just returned from my vacation to thailand and what a tonic it was, WOW the confidence when wearing a two piece was awsome i felt a million dollars ;-)
My wound openings are now all nice and healed up BUT i still have my seroma in my tummy but i am seeing my surgeon tomorrow (wed)so i will see what he has to say.
I have put a pic on and i have to say for a 50 year old i LOVE the new me.
Hope everyone is ok, if u are waiting for your mom make over good luck you will NOT regret it just make sure you do your home work about your surgeon and the ins and outs off this opp.
If like me you are post op i hope you are as happy with your results and felling fab as i am. x
Take care

Hi Ladies,i have reached my eighth week post op and i am almost back to my pre op self.
I am back at the gym doing all kinds off cardio including Zumba and spinning classes, the only thing i can not do yet is running as i still have a few small open wounds under my boobs but they should be all healed by next week.
I love my new boobs i am sooo pleased with them i wish i had them uplifted years ago as they look fantastic with and with out clothes.I am only using vaseline on my breast incisions because off the wounds as this is unperfumed.
My tummy is nice and flat AM and nice and swollen PM,i still have my jiggily bits above my tummy button but there is still fluid in there from my seroma so alot off patience is needed.
I still have a bulge on my left side which is pulling on my incision and my tummy button, again it is worse PM so i think this is swelling we shall see.
I am using Dermatix on my tummy scar,i love this silicone gel but it is NOT cheap in the UK so i have been buying mine on ebay.
I am not doing any ab work outs yet as my ps said not to because off the M/R.
It is 1 week until my vacation to Thailand, i am trying to loose a few pound but the scales are not moving, i am the same weight now as i was pre op.;(
I am 98% pleased with my T/T at present but i am hoping my next blog at 12 weeks i can say i am 100% happy.
If any one is considering a mommy makeover i say DO IT NOW, i have turned back the clock to my pre babys years and i WISH i had done it sooner.

Hope everyone is healing ok and for all you ladies waiting for your turn Good luck,you will not regret it. x ;)

Gail, I told my ps that what he does is life changing. It's really incredible how doing this changes how we feel about ourselves. I spent years, years, obsessing over my post baby fat/shape and had NO idea that I could really feel good about myself again. I have never been what I call big, but I was definitely messed up from the babies! It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.
