I've had a TT done about 6 months ago and will be going for a lift on 9-12. I'll also have fat transfer from the inner thighs to my butt, and lipo of my back to improve my profie. 2 years ago I was 70lbs heavier, and am a single mom of one. With all the weightloss and motherhood My body has gone through a lot, and I feel very blessed at having the financial stability to be able to do this. After the changes with the Tummy tuck I felt so good about myself. I did before, but I guess you could say that how I looked on the outside matched how I felt on the inside.
My surgeon is wonderful, I've never read a bad review on him, and he spends a lot of time with his patients to ensure there is a good understanding of what is wanted. I've heard of surgeons suggesting unnecessary procedures, and he is nothing like that. If you're within 500 miles of Salt Lake City I highly suggest Dr. Dunkley at envision cosmetic surgery.
Yaayyy! It's done! Coming off the anesthesia was...

Surgery went well, didnt get to go in until 3 hours after my scheduled time which sucked. I'm really worried about how my boobs are looking now. They look flat on the bottom half, but I have a feeling they'll smooth out and that I'll love them.
I think one of my nipples is off and I hope it...

Feeling pretty good today, almost no sleep last night and today will be my first day coaching 1st and 2nd grade soccer.
One of my nipples is almost 'normal' colored, the other is still very purple and losing sensation. I have creme I put on it that's made to open up the blood vessels or something like that. ANybody familiar with any of this?

You're right about the TT pages ... lots more updates there than here on the BL pages. So thanks for updating. Glad to hear it's nothing like TT recovery. When I was walking hunched over for 2 weeks I thought, "What the heck did I do." LOL!
I had it done last Wednesday and on Saturday I half jogged, half walked a 5k. Some people think I've gone too far with PS, but a TT, lift and lipo doesnt seem like a big deal to me, and I know I'm done now. It's the self confidence on the outside that I find addicting. The lift was waaaay worth it for me. Like you, I had the weight loss extra skin apron issue that I found to be more of a problem. However after getting the lift I thought 'I can't believe I didnt get this sooner!' I was so tired of only being able to select a few bras, all very expensive, and all had wire that would poke through after a few weeks. Also, tucking in what would pop out-A lift is sooooo worth it! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to let me know! You really dont need to set up anthing or buy special stuff for recovery. If you've already had a TT you'll find a lift to be a cake walk! Congrats on your decision and date!
Rest up
