WORTH IT$7,900
First off let me start by saying that I am so glad I did this! It's really hard to believe that a year has passed. I am much happier with my body that I have been in many years. In fact I can't remember when I was this comfortable. I love dr. Williams work!
To the negatives: I still do not have complete feeling below my bb. I can feel but it is not the same as everywhere else. No biggie to me for the result. My scar is still red and thick. I thought it would have faded by now. I will talk to the Dr in a couple of weeks about that at my final appointment. The biggest tho g is that now I hate that the width of my thighs is more than my hips and it looks funny in pants and tighter clothes. So I'm trying a new workout routine. If by then end of the year I don't see progress I am thinking of getting lipo on the outer thighs. I hope at that point I will be completely satisfied with the body I work so hard for!

Itchy

Still didnt sleep well last night, changing positions is still painful. But it wasn't as bad as the night before. I haven't taken any Tylenol today and have been doing pretty well. I did skip the gym and the swelling wasn't as bad overall today. Last night I was pretty depressed because my pants wouldn't fit when we had been asked to go out with friends, so I stayed home. I still am not bruised, I guess that's a good thing. The CG kills my hip bones, so I look forward to dumping it.

Revision completed today 9 months post op

I just got back from my revision, which involved liposuction of the hips an flanks. The doctor said he did this during the original tt. I don't think he did as I was never bruised or sore in those areas. But whatever. It took about an hour and wasn't too painful, only when he would hit where there was no numbing meds. Then it stung pretty bad. I feel about 10lbs heavier now. I have to wear he CG again for another month, but am free to do any activities I please. For those of you that have had lipo, any suggestions for swelling? I pray that 6 months from now I am finally happy with my body. I thought I would be after the tt, but the way my hips stuck out over my pants was depressing. It looked funny to have a flat tummy but a rolly set of hips. Hope you all are happy and healing quickly...
