37 Weeks Post op Update
beanyMarch 8, 2015
WORTH IT$6,800
Hi there everyone. I'm back with an update after 37 weeks post op. Thank you sillysally14 for writing to me and requesting for this update. I got busy... and lazy so I didn't care to update my status. So here are some photos I took of my tummy today! Yay!
Basically I got on with the normal routine of life almost forgetting that I had a TT operation. I wore my binder on days I do my workout because I do still swell up a bit at the end of the day, especially on days I do my workouts. My scar is still healing. It hardened up a bit and had become a little "hump". I'll admit that I did not baby it with creams and lotion which probably should to soften it a little.
When I touch my tummy, I still have this funny feeling of numbness around the scar area. I'm not sure if the numbness will completely go away but I'm not too bothered by it.
If you look at my photos carefully you might notice a little bump at the belly button area. That was where my protrusion was the most serious pre-op. Its like my organs are still pressing out in that area. I also believe that its due to my posture. I slouch alot at my desk and that probably contributed to the organs pushing against that part of my tummy.
Despite these little imperfection, I feel I'm way better than I was before my operation and still grateful to have done it.

First Post Op Appointment
beanyJune 27, 2014
On my 8th day, I had my TT review appointment. I had my drains removed. I'm oh soooo glad for not having to deal with the drains anymore. The stitches around my belly button were also removed. To my pleasant surprise, besides the usual white velcro compression garment I wore home on the day of surgery, the clinic gave me another really lovely compression garment! (See photo). How cool is that!

6th day post op today. More energy to move around. Taking less painkiller med too. Drains are still in. Here are some post op photos. As you can tell I do have a fair bit of swelling. I'm still getting use to this new body. I felt like I'm the partner Frankenstein never had.
