How's everyone doing? I'm 10 weeks+, and still not much changes from week 5. Boobs-- have dropped a little more and look more even, though one is still slightly bigger--no discomfort and they look great. Belly button is perfect, oval shaped and nicely indented. However, I'm NOT pleased w/ tummy, still swollen and numb and now I have dog ears on both sides. My Dr is amazing and he checked me today and scheduled revision for Wed. I posted a pic of the buggers. Has anyone else had revisions?

Just thought I would "drop by" and see how you are doing (we are practically twins on our surgery dates;) My doctor I think won't really consider revisions for minimally 6 months, my gut feeling he would want to wait closer to a year! I'm kind of wondering if I may need one, but also gained nearly 10 pounds, so I've decided last week to readjust my life style and take care of that before stressing about my tummy.

Wow!!! You look AMAZING! I saw in another post that you didn't think you look 15k better. I'm hear to tell you that from an outsiders perspective, I disagree with you. :) I really think your transformation is one of the best I've seen.

Thanks Jennifer and AudeeLee. My PS is a miracle worker, and every now and again in the morning I get a glimpse of what my stomach will look like when the swellings done. But most days, by the afternoon I look like a pumped up balloon and its frustrating...especially after 4 months.

Sounds like you are roughing through the process. I too suffer from swelling (especially after less then excellent eating days), but when the swelling is completely down, I look at the side view of myself and I'm able to think "yep, this is why I did this, thank you doc!." Out of curiousity, how did the revision go? I'm thinking I have "dog ears", and seem to have a side love handle that I expected to go away... Wondering if its worth another recovery process. I go to ps in beginning of May.

Hi Surgery Twin, Thanks for the pep talk. I have those moments too when I look in the mirror and think WOW too. Most time I try to focus on the positive, like being able to fit in most of my clothes and looking flatter in them. Instead of complaining that I haven't gone down a size, even though I'm down 10lbs now and my waist is only down 1/2inch, so I don't have the hour glass figure I wanted... I can beat myself up for not paying a trainer and done it the healthier way, but I know it would never have happened :). So overall I am happy!. The revision lipo helped on the right side but not the left and both will have to be fixed again in a few months. The recovery process was minor compared to the tummy tuck. You have to wear the CG for 3 weeks 24/7 again and its probably added to the swelling.

I guess what I was trying to say... Don't forget to look in the mirror when you are looking your best!!! From your pictures you look great in my opinion! Even when you are swollen you probably are doing better then before TT :-)

You really do look amazing! You have the body of a twenty year old! It must feel so good! What have you been doing to lose weight? My doc said I should do crunches and sit ups only once I reach the 3 month mark but can do light exercise for now. I haven't weighed myself in awhile but was up 7lbs right after surgery; I hope that was just post-op swelling. I need to lose like 5lbs. What do you recommend? Any particular type of exercise (cardio probably)?

LOL. Its great having a body where my boobs and hips are in proportion for a change :). Just started exercising this week--and only did 20-30 mins on the elliptical. But I've been following the diet plan my doctor gave--basically its like south beach: high protein, lots of veggies and only good whole grain carbs. Also, most important is having 5 small meals per day and a glass of water before and after every meal.
