I'm 54 and had a tt with lipo on April 21st. No problems whatsoever. Was back at work (office) 11 days post op. Feeling fantastic. Down 2 pant sizes and loving it.

Hope that helps!

MO2P, don't worry about what your sisters are saying. You didn't do this for them but for you. Sounds as though they may be just a teeny bit jealous knowing how good you're going to look. It would be nice if they could support your decision but since they haven't, don't speak about it to them again.

Just be happy for yourself. If your husband supported you, that is all that matters.

Niffie, so glad to hear from you. I don't have any of those spasms. I wonder if everyone experiences them at some time or another? I have my 6 week p/o on Monday so I'll as the doctor then.

I'm LOVING the way I look. Down from size 12 to size 8 in pants. I bought new shorts today at Ann Taylor Loft and didn't try them on till I got home from work. Size 8 and they are a little loose!

You're so right about being hard on ourselves. Also, this isn't they type of surgery that gives you instant gratification. Gotta wait a little bit to see the best is yet to come.

Youngmomof4, YES IT DOES GET BETTER! Much better. Just stop thinking about it. Remember you've had major surgery and your internal tissue is swollen from all the trauma. Try to take it easy and relax. Stressing over the outcome at this early in the game won't help. Keep looking at those amazing after pictures and before you know it, you'll look just as good.

I'm 6 weeks P/O today and down two pant sizes.

My belly button is high as well but I don't plan on wearing a bikini at my young age of 54.

Chyck, don't get discouraged. Today I am six weeks post op and boy oh boy the changes over those past six weeks are becoming very noticeable.

Down from a size 12 pant to a size 8. Nice flat tummy even though I still have swelling. The swelling is only noticeable to me and it does get more pronounced by the end of the day. Many TT's say this goes away after a few month's time.

You're not even 2 weeks P/O yet and you have to give your body time to recovery. Remember, you've had major surgery with trauma to your internal tissue. It will get better. Just stay positive. Smile girl, you'll be in a bikini in no time!
