Schedule TT for Feb 25, 2011 - Chicago, IL

I am 1mo and 2 days post op. I feel good! I like running mom I believe expected it to be a rougher experience more pain more bruising etc. The difference between her and I is that I had stopped exercising about 4 mo prior to surgery Nd since I quit smoking gained almost 10 lbs right before surgery. I was so angry Bout that but I guess it's ok. I M happy with my results over all. I did think a lot more of my stretch marks would of been gone but I can live with the ones that stayed. The tightness of my stomach is starting to subside and I actually don't like that. I keep thinking it's gonna get flabby again. I can't eat a whole lot because when my stomach expans it feels awful and is so very u comfortable that now I eat several small meals a day. I still haven't weighed myself. Like I said all in all I am so happy I did this! I wasn't in great shape but it wasn't bad at all and I dont think I have a high pain tolerance.... I don't know. As for the wedding you are going to. I wish it was me! Lol. You may get a bid dissapointed that u may have to buy a size perhaps bigger than u normally would for a dress but as far as energy.... I think you will be just fine.

San fransico - pain pump helped a while lot! And so did a walker for your back. I have almost no back pain whatsoever. I am going to try and figure out how to post pics and post them soon. I'm doing great and feel great.

Mimsy? How you doing??

Doing well San Fran: Three of the most important items that I believed help me get thru this....1. A walker (my back feels fine) a lot I'd not all the women complain about back pain. 2. A heating pad. While I was sleeping upright my head would hang down sometimes and I'd wake up with neck pain and heating pad would help that. 3. A pain pump. I believethe pain pump is worth it. It helps you a lot especially when getting in out of bed. Today I see mr Dr.today at 11:00am and I feel fine. No pain just soreness. There's only one thing I'm concerned about.... I am standing pretty straight... Not all the way yet but straighter than I thought I would be for 4 days. I'm concerned that that means my stomach isn't tight enough or wasn't tightened enough. I'm guessing that on a couple of days I should be straight or close to being straight again. I can't wait to see my tummy and I hope my concerned isn't anything to worry about. How are you doing?

Well had an issue with a the pain pump... It didn't last the three days they said it would and Woa! I called my doctor and he opened up his office for me and installed a new one. What a relief! The walker I use fir my back is awesome. Feeling fine today just little aches and pains but nothing serious. Hope everyone else is doing good.
