Your post op pictures look amazing. I am so sorry to read that you are so sad today. It's a journey - it seems like one that is longer than you anticipated, but the results look to be amazing.
I read all of your entries 4 days ago as I contemplated my own TT. Your story has stayed with me. Hearing your pelvis CRACK during childbirth is not something even the reader wont forget.
You have been through a lot. You are healing. My thoughts are with you - I believe that in the end you will be glad about this.
((hugs))

First of all, THANK YOU for the site! It is such a comfort to be able to hear first hand experiences from women. It was (and is) very comforting!
General anesthesia comes with risk - you aren't breathing on your own when you are under general. In in the past I have used local WITH SEDATION, so there is an anesthesiologist keeping me "under." However, the anesthesiologist only worked Thursdays, and I needed a Monday slot so that I had Christmas vacation week to recover (I teach).
I have to say that when I wrote this (3 or 4 days ago), I looked younger, but not more attractive. I don't know if swelling is going down or what, but I can't believe how GOOD I look. I have gone from average to attractive. I have no explanation for it. People I have run into keep telling me how great I look. I changed my hair color just before the procedure and tell them it must be the new color, but I think it was the surgeon's skill!
No. I do gain weight differently now. I gain more in my belly than I did before the liposuction. Now maybe this would have happened as I reached my late 30s/early 40s even w/out lipo. But no gain in weird places at all!
