Mini Tummy Tuck - Tues. Excited and Scared! - Wellesley, MA

Hi J-Taylor.......loved reading your story. Congratulations on your numerous accomplishments.

I had a mini TT seven weeks ago and I will share what I was encouraged to take by a nutritionally savy consultant at my pharmacy. Of course, see if this would be acceptable to your Doctor as everyone is different.

At week two, I had a major set-back with muscle spasms and excruciating pain. I did not want to go on Cellebrex since that causes stomach problems. To expedite healing and swelling, simultaneously, it was suggested that I double up on fish oil (an effective anti-inflammatory)(good quality) and vitamin C. She also recommended "Natural Calm" - a magnesium supplement. The first two may be all thats needed.

Once my problem was solved, I introduced "Bloat Away" for my water weight. It has Dandelion, Hibiscus, etc.

Aside from these options, the swelling will likely resolve itself by 3 months. Just wanted to share what has worked for me.

Good luck to you.

That is a riot....that you are all too familiar w Love's tapes. Can.t wait to move and sweat again.

Btw, I do remember the sharp muscle tugs that seemed to go on for months when I had my implants. I'm sure it.s part of the healing.

I wonder what a lift w implants cost? I had my P.Surgeon look me over and she agreed that I needed a lift initially. I knew it. Not sure if husband is willing to support this financially but the Doc cut corners. Hmmm. The areolas (sp?) are way too big. Ewww.

Take care.....I look forward to hearing about your meeting experience.

Hi.....finally able to check in after a lengthy and stressful three weeks of uncertainty. My husband had surgery today and he is officially cancer-free. We got great news yesterday after a 3rd opinion decided that he did not need a more dramatic procedure since his "numbers" put him near zero risk for metastasis. Yay!

Now...I.m dreaming of my next procedure. All u ladies have perfect boobs. Year's ago, I should have had a lift but opted for an implant to "pump me up." Maybe I can convince my hubby in the winter. ;-)

Your picts look great. I.m going to begin working out this week, finally. Not sure if you ever enjoy work-out videos but my all-time favorite for calorie burn/intensity is JARI LOVE'S GET EXTREMELY RIPPED 1000. Whatever you decide, I'm sure you will get back to your former self very soon. Keep me posted.

Then you will likely progress to sweat or stretch pants. Comfort is key!

I think they look really good and natural. In fact, ur making me think I need a lift. Maybe next year. Seriously, yours are perfect.
