TT and Breast Lift Post 90lb Weight Loss - 6 months later! - Columbus, OH

Hi Blessed - You're right, we have MUCH in common. It's funny, Child's Pose is one of the moves where I always catch myself smiling about my new tummy. It's so much better now! I can actually rest flat on my thighs. The little things that you catch as you go along, lol. Anyways, I will drop you a message with some info about what I did in case that helps at all. Hope you're doing well and had a lovely holiday!

Thanks Maumee! Your surgery is right around the corner...wow! You must be excited. Try not to be too terrified. :) There is no way to really be prepared, but trust you will absolutely make it through it all, no matter what comes your way. Sounds like you're pretty strong, determined, and active, which will be super super helpful. I'll be sending you some central OH love and will definitely message you with some info on what I used. Good luck and if you need anything, please do not hesitate to tap me on the shoulder! :)

Not to invade this post, but I thought I'd offer up what ended up working for me. All of our bodies are different, so what worked for me may do nothing for another, but I'm all for sharing in case it does. ;) Anyways, once my doctor explained that the swelling was not being helped by all the cutting of the lymphatic vessels across the tummy, I put myself on Niacin to help amp up my lymphatic system. It seemed to help. I ran out a few weeks ago and decided not to refill, then felt that little difference in swelling and went back on it. I also still wear a tube shaped compression garment once I get home for the evening and sleep in it. That combo seems to keep me pretty flat and I'm so thankful for that. Like I said, it may do nothing for others, but safely trying things out to see what the body will respond to can't hurt, imo. Best of luck to you!

I just wanted to say hi Bella. I had my TT in columbus too so we're close to each other. ;) Can I just say don't worry about the scar redness. It does get better. I'm 6 months out and things seem much much better now. Be careful on the laser hair removal. I did a little before the surgery and all was good. Did it after and oww-eee. Wonder if my skin was still a little reactive from the surgery. I need to go back and do that, lol. But congrats on your smooth recovery and keeping a positive attitude!

OMG, we have the same PS. Our scars even look similar. Too funny! :)
