41po and i feel great. I never thought id make it...

WORTH IT$6,000
41po and i feel great. I never thought id make it lol but it was all worth it! WEnt back to work on March 15, it was actually a breeze. Im on my feet all day. Thought id have a hard time but no problems. I started standing completely straight a week ago. Still have some soreness in lipo areas. Sleeping is probably the biggest issue only because it hurts to move from nside to side. Once im up im good to go! Ive been using the scar away strips for a couple days, seeing a little change. Hopefully it works wonders but if my scar stays the same as now id be happy:) Im down something like 40 pounds woot woot. I dont know its leaving from but hey im loving it! Still in these garments, picked up a couple from walmart which are amazing and comfortable! I switch between those and the killer umcomfortable ones. I still think i need something tighter on my tummy. Going walmarting to find something to double up. My lower tummy and pubic areas are still swollen. Happy Healing to all you ladies! If your just starting your journey dont hesitate. Its the best thing ive ever done for myself:) Its tough but worth it!!!

You look amazing , congrats... Your story def motivates me , I plan to go in Jan 2014....
Thanks so much! You won't be sorry! Its rough recovery but so worth it:)
You look fantastic! I'm so happy for you! The sleeping will get easier. I'm just over 3 months and I find I can toss and turn all I want. I'm still aware of the incision line and my MR, but I still roll around and there is no more pulling. I love your results! Stay positive and enjoy!!!! Happy Healing to you!
Thank you! I'm getting there:)
Your looking fantastic and congrats on the weight loss!! Happy healing.
Thank you!
Looks like your Dr. did your belly button the way mine was done which will make your tummy look more natural than having the scar around the belly button also. It was something I really never thought of until after my TT was done, but was so happy it was done that way! You look sensational and will only continue to improve over the entire first year. Congrats!
Thank you Cleveland! The bb was a big deal to me because i see so many that don't look normal. I love the way she does hers:) You look amazing! Your scar faded so much.
It surprises me that they don't all do them the way ours were done! My Dr. told me on a follow up that is a tell-tale sign of a TT, but doing it his way unless you see the hip-to-hip scar you wouldn't know since the belly button looks so natural. I have worn a two piece and no one would ever know I had it done. I never told anyone either, except my husband. It is a very private thing for me and at times I questioned why I ever did it, but once you heal it is the best thing you could ever do for yourself!
You look phenomenal! Omg love your results! I'll be there next week with Almonte. I'm extra nervous

Hey ladies...i made to 3wks!!! An i thought i was...

Hey ladies...i made to 3wks!!! An i thought i was gonna die..lol had my second massage today, feel good. I was hoping so, first one didn't really feel any different. Its officially shower time!! O how i miss thee. Went to my family Dr today he checked everything out and said i look great. Just have a yeast infection between my vajj and my leg, hmm never knew that happened. Lol How the world am i gonna keep it dry if i have to put cream there. I guess I'll work magic. Almost standing straight up, can't wait for that! Back and sides are still hard, numb tender. Hopefully with more massages that will keep getting better. My recliner goes bye bye in 2 days, i think ill be good. So back to my bed. I'm gonna try done stretches

Today is going to be a good day!!! Woke up feeling...

Today is going to be a good day!!! Woke up feeling pretty good:) cleaned up around the house and didn't run out of breath!! Woot woot lol standing a lil straighter. It only last for a short time:( my back and sides still gave that tight feeling. I'm hoping i didn't take out drain to early and don't end up with seroma, even tho i was barely draining for like 3 days. I guess well see. Swelling in my legs, feet, arms and hands has pretty much went away. My belly is still swollen. Still haven't ordered smaller garment, doing that this week. Going to clean all my boo boos and will post pic of my incision. wait to take a shower. God do i feel yucky and you can smell me fir miles
