Full TT and Hip Lipo Scheduled for Feb. 2 - British Columbia

I posted this in response to another question, but I'll include it here, as well.

Yes, I had a TT in Feb 2011. I got rid of my 'baby belly', and lost about 5 inches around that area.

It takes a while, because the swelling lasts so long, but you will eventually be in smaller clothing. My doc told me to not plan to buy new clothes until about May, and he was right.

I dropped from a 12/14 in pants, to a 6. I did keep all my off-season clothing though, just in case. This winter, when I got out my winter clothes, they were all waaaaaaaaaay too big, so I donated them. I had actually given about 1/2 of them away last spring. After last summer, I kept a few things, just in case I put on weight over the winter, and I have gained a small amount. Now the weather is nice, I am working at getting rid of that!

Good luck!

I'll be one year out, on Feb. 2. I love my new tummy and the money is long forgotten. :D

Rest lots! Don't try to do too much too soon, and don't come here to post until you're ready to be up.

Don't rush into the running and exercising. My PS told me 6 weeks or more. The sooner you get back to normal, the longer the full recovery will take.
