Male TT the Journey of a Thousand Steps - Oakville, ON

1 year post
So yesterday was 1 year. What a trip but it was...
WORTH IT$13,400
So yesterday was 1 year. What a trip but it was all very worth it. When I first saw my PS she said if it was the USA they would recommend a full body lift but in Canada they don't do that as one procedure. So at 1 year we are looking at a back belt lift. Based on how the first procedure went and has worked out I am going to say yes.
For anyone thinking of this procedure I say yes.
But make sure to research the whole experience to be best prepared for what to deal with and what to expect. Also research the PS make sure you get one that's quality then don't hesitate and go for it. I lost 170 lbs. and have become more then fit then I ever thought I could ever be again in my life but without this procedure I wouldn't have gone as far in the journey as I "needed" to!

I promised some pictures and hear we go.
Very embarrassing but they may hopefully be helpful to someone considering this procedure. I also thinks it shows of the wonderful work by my PS.
At 8 weeks I have been without the compression garment since week 6 and it feels great not having that on anymore. Though I sometimes opt for it after a workout or at the end of the day. I get some very odd shapes from swelling sometimes!
There isn't anymore pain or discomfort and feel really great about the new me. I am now back to the elliptical though I am not allowed to do any thing that targets the core for 6 months post op. I was told that the muscle repair will take at least 4 months but for optimal results I need to wait 6 months and I have no intention of risking anything to ruin this. Though i do look forward to getting into some more rounded workouts to build some strength and the new me.

28 days and some new lululemon :)
The swelling is better though not down 100% yet or at least I hope not. The feeling is starting to return to my lower stomach. The belly button still has to fully close where they cut it in but is coming along. The main cut is healing very nice and really I just worry about how much swelling there is left still. I know a huge help will be getting back to working out. I don't see the doctor for another 2 weeks for clearance though :(

I'm right there with you on the swelling. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks PO for me. I had another checkup with my dr this week. He's says things are looking ok and cleared me to do "whatever I want".. so I'm back in the gym.. weight training and all. Feels good to be back. However, my right side had always looked worse than my left side but now it's the opposite. Doc said my body is still changing so he'll re-evaluate me in January. I'm hoping it's all just swelling that will go down... otherwise I got the feeling he would offer to do a revision to tighten up the skin on my sides a bit.... I hope that's not the case.

Yikes sounds like your healing well, then there's the but...
Seems like the healing part may hurt less and less but until you get to the point were you're happy or the doctor says you need to come back you really don't know where you stand in the process.
