Only Two Weeks out but YES WORTH IT!

One Mild Inconvience but SO WORTH IT!

oh my I am so sorry to hear this happening to you ;(

I think it's a far cry to say *everyone WILL* have this or that. I am new to the tuck (2 weeks) but I did an extensive amt of homework and have been heavily active in support networks and this is the very first time I've heard this. What I hear most often is you will have bouts of swelling for up to a year. Never heard exercise makes you fat. I find a hard time believing that one. Sounds like something is going on that you should discuss with your Dr.

When you have a TT you sever your lymphantic system. The lymph (fluid in your body) has no way to recycle. Once it realizes it has no recycle outlet, it pools and swelling occurs. The system DOES reconnect. You don't have a flat stomach then get big again, What you have, is swelling and you will have it on and off for a while.

My surgeon seems to steer away from younger women of childbearing years who may become pg. I think this may be why. I am 39 with 4 children and we took care of the possiblily of ever getting PG again.

That is your MR (muscle repair) That will take a while to heal completely. You could have turned over in bed wrong and wrenched it or something. I wish my drains are out! I have to keep them 2 weeks I get them out wed. I so can't wait.
