WORTH IT$10,000
So it's just a little over 12 weeks and things are almost back to normal again around here. I just starting running at what I used to run at this week--tried it at 6 weeks and it still felt so weird that I stopped and went back to walking for awhile. Anyhow-the tummy is doing well--I still swell if I do too much and especially if I eat and drink out of hand. I notice also that it bothers me way more when I over eat--it used to be fine but now I feel like ill explode--lol. All in all, I am VERY happy I went through with this. Still slight brushing around the tummy area as I'm still getting lymphatic massaging and let me tell you ladies--I strongly reccomend it to any of you who have had TT and /or lipo. It really helps a lot. My incision. Is looking good--I need to take a pic of it for u--keep forgetting. My boobs are an ongoing saga. I guess they r just hard for me to get used to. I have a love/hate with them. Today, I love them because they look fabulous. But Monday night at tennis when some old lech commented on them , I was very embarrassed and went back to asking everyone if they r too big etc. as my husband says--you wanted them, you got them who cares what people think. I also got some new bras from vs and it turns out I'm a 34 D which freakse out as I wanted C's! I do notice that I can't wear the same tight tops that I used to wear with out looking....risqué ? I'm sure ill get used to it. I've found myself this week trying to hide them and wishing I would have went smaller and feeling bad about it--but my husband tells me they look good and I do know he would tell me (like it or not--he would) so I'm starting to let that go. It's ongoing. I'm also numb almost my entire left breast which I knew was a risk and does bother me but what bothers me more is how to do breast exams? I can't feely tissue anymore. Anyhow-here are some new pics still love looking at all you gals and your great results. This was a journey and thank goodness for this board. I will try to keep more current!

Hi everyone-we had a long spring break and so...
Hi everyone-we had a long spring break and so haven't been on to share and see etc. I'm 7 weeks today and have finally started running last week. So much more nervous about my tummy than my boobs. I think that's because that was the thing I wanted fixed the most. Im sure it's my imagination, but I feel like I swell more than I was and worry that I popped the internal stitching on the lower abs? I even asked my ps about this and she said no that they should be good to go now. Anyone else swelling like crazy. I wonder if its maybe because I don't wear the compression garment except for at night and also now doing my full work outings weights. All in all, everything is good and the boobs look great. Will get some pics this week to share.

So glad to see your update an hear you are well! I have been swelling more this week as I have tried to get off binder more. Last night I had a lot of swelling and some pain. My swelling isn't terrible or real noticeable, but it's more than it was. I'm trying to go back to taking it easier an eat better an increase water. I can tell I still have some healing to do. It still great though being 7-8 weeks out!!!!!!!! Yay!!!! So happy you re well and running!!!!!!! We hve come a long way!

I started a circuit training workout at 10 weeks post op and I swelled up pretty bad and it didn't totally go away while I slept! Very frustrating, I have a swollen area above my belly button that doesn't go as flat as before. My doc said I prob didn't damage anything but I have to take it easy until it goes down and start very slowly. Everyone heals differently and apparently I am taking longer:-( I hope your swelling goes down!

So I'm officially one month PO. I'm really starting to like my boobs and am so glad my ps went with 375. They have dropped and the sweeping has come down so much and they are not very obvious. I'm some clothing, I don't look very different at all. I finally know what boob greed means! As far as the mini TT I get so swollen by the end of the day and I waiver between weather it was worth it. The swelling will get bad and I still can't button my pre op clothing. I could, but don't want it too tight and cause the healing to disrupt. I started some light exercising and I think that is makin the swelling worse. My husband just started insanity work out and I want to do it but can't. Boo. All in all, feeling so much better and wish I would have done this years ago. Lymphatic massaging really helps by the way.

No on your back and she massages and digs around. Not very relaxing or pleasant , but it helps a lot with swelling and getting the lymph nodes working
