“One year after TT got BA and BL ”

I had a great experience I never would have done this if I didn't have a hysterectomy at the same time.. I am so glad I did it!!The hysterectomy was totally unexpected thought my problems could be fixed with hormone adjustment so when he said we are going to cut you open were your c-sections were I said I should get tummy tuck while I am at it. I love my results even though I am still swollen at 6 weeks.. Before I did this I looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant. I am 51years old 5'3" and weighed 138 the day of surgery. Highest ever other than when I was pregnant. I am now down to 129 and losing! I stayed 3 nights in the hospital and pretty much stayed home for the next three weeks. Was on pain meds for almost 4 weeks mostly at night.

I am about 3 1/2 months post op.. I go see the ps today for a follow up. I am posting some pics. I still am swollen at night and after working out.. Still wear my binder as it feels more comfortable. I am having pains in my stomach area that I think is the nerves reconnecting since I am becoming less numb...

I am just passed 9 months and I just love my results. I am doing sit ups and hope that a few more months the results will be better!!! I think my scar is looking great!! I do have a small bump on my right side but it is had to see in the pics. I see the PS in Feb and he will look at again.

I will have to update some year pictures. I went for my check up and had a consultation for a boob lift/implants and set my surgery date for March 16th. I am very excited and nervous at the same time!!!

I had BL and BA this morning in some pain but not as bad as TT. I can't wait to see what they looked like. He put in 280cc. Will update more later.

Well I am 3 days po from BL and BA and I feel pretty good still sore but my lip must have gotten pinched during surgery because it is really swollen and has a sore on it. That is almost bothering me more than the breast. I am not so sure on the size they put in 280cc and they seem huge to me will have to see after swelling goes down.

I am 5 days after my surgery on March 16th. I have a little discomfort but haven't taken anything today at all. I am just going crazy resting!!! Will go by the mall later. I am still bruised but less swollen. My tummy is also swollen I didn't expect that. Here are some updated pics.

8 days PO and I am so sore and my nipples so sensitive when do they feel better? I am itching too I think from the tape I have over the rest of the stitches. I still have to take the pain med at the end of the day I start with a half and then see if I need more. I don't know how anyone can go back to work. Maybe because I had a lift it seems worse.

Had the rest of my stitches taken out today and have an infection under my right breast so on antibiotics. Maybe that is why not feeling great.

12 days PO and I am feeling much better. My nipples are still very sore and sensitive but I got some ointment called Blue-emu yesterday and been putting it on so maybe that is helping...

Well 15 days PO and very sensitive nipples and breast. Going to try the ahh bra to get some relief since every other bra is awful right now. Has anyone tried these?

Well my nipples are finally calming down thank goodness and I am not so sore when I wake up. Right about 3 weeks I started feeling better! I think I over did it at week two went back to the gym for an hour on the stepmill. Sweating probably didn't help anything. So skipped a few days and just did the stationary bike. I am so use to 2 hours of cardio, weights, being able to clean the house and play and walk with the dogs this sitting around is driving me nuts. My house is a mess! But it will still be a mess in a week when I can scrub it..
So my boobies are looking square which I heard that is normal. They have dropped a little bit when do they fluff or do they with a lift????

Well it has been 7 weeks and I am still in pain. The doctor called it red breast syndrome but it should clear up on its own but meanwhile my breast turn red and hurt!
Hopefully it gets better soon!
