Am 45 years old, have had 2 abdominal surgeries so muscles were no longer responding to any form of exercise, decided to get the TT at the same time I was getting my breast reduction.
Would definitely do it again!

I was thinking about changing my screen name to RS stalker lol I am a 34 yr old mother of 4...
I have wanted a TT for YEARS. Have had this flesh apron since my second son was born, and...
It gets better and better each month!!! So Love it!
I seem to be planning every thing down to the day. I really don't want anyone to know I had the TT
I had swelling at two months post op but more so in the afternoon and evening. You could wear shorts. I wore a bikini at 10 weeks post op. I had swelling in the tummy but did not care...LOL I do not recommend a game of golf though....Hurts! You will not be able to swing the clubs yet.
I planned my life for weeks according to my swelling schedule.
When is your surgery scheduled?
Hope this helps.
San Francisco,
I would not recommend going back to work at 10 days post OP. That is pretty quick for both procedures. I had originally planned to go back at two weeks and found I could not do it. I ended up taking 3 1/2 weeks off. Even going back at that point I was miserable the first two weeks. If you are able to take 14-21 days off that would be best. Now if you can totally work from home starting on day 14 that would be possible. I realize everyone is different in the healing process but you are going to be wiped out and swollen.
I hope this helps.
I will not do anything for 10 -12 days and then only work on the phone and computer from home, even in bed if I have to. My job is in sales so I can work hard or kind of break if I need to. do you think that might be doable?
Thanks for all the info. I'm getting real nervous. Looks like I am going to schedual June 1st. The only thing I really need to do is go to my sons last day of school to see them sing. 15 days after surgery.
Talk to you soon.
Thanks again
Hello,
That sounds doable. Just listen to your body and when you are tired and swollen rest. Just do not push yourself at all the first 6 weeks. Be kind to yourself so that you are able to heal properly. The more you fight it the longer it will take for full recovery.
I am completely glad I did all of this for myself. I feel wonderful and have no regrets.
The Breast Reduction was a quick recovery. I was back to normal at 4 weeks post op. Now the bruising and swelling lasted a bit longer but I was not in any pain at all.
The surgery itself took 3 hours in the OR. That is what I expected.
How are you feeling girl??
Still can't fit into my dress pants for work so I'll have to make do until I they start fitting...keeping my fingers crossed that they will again.
The breasts are coming along quite well even with the set back of having the blister effects due to the smoking...ugh!
Anyway, glad you asked and thanks for all the great advice and hand holding during my journey. :)
I am glad to be here for you! Where did the month go??? Goodness...
The pants will soon fit; I noticed big changes starting in month three post op. It takes some time but you will get there.
I am glad you are doing so well and feeling good. Keep posting and let me know how you are coming along from month to month.
Are you able to join us for the webinar on February 15th? It is going to be both fun and educational.
Thx
