5 1/2 months post op from TT / doing well.....small revision needed!

I'm sorry for not getting back sooner, i have been away most of the summer! No, there isn't a typo in price, i believe that alberta health care covered partially, due to my 160lbs i lost on my own through diet & exercise and have kept it off for many years and have persued a career in the fitness industry! When is your surgery? Dr. Toy is awesome, he is excellent with his work, doesnt talk too much but if u have questions he will answer everything! let me know if you have any more questions, I promise I will reply sooner, I am home now! lol

Omg.......7 weeks almost......still wearing stretchy pants! My doctor pulled up my vagina as well to get the extra skin out of the way.....so in return my thighs are thicker....and that means my jeans won't fit! Guess It's a trade off, I am working out 5 days a week now to try and change that.......and back to work....waitressing 3 night's a week, but my weight won't change either, kinda getting discouraged, but i will keep trying as I spent good money on my clothes........and damit they will fit again.....maybe at 3 month mark?

I didn't need muscle repair.....so my recover is probablly not the same as others have been. As for post oo care......I am almost 7 weeks and I live about 40 min away from my doctor and I have seen him twice since surgery, but if I have questions I call and they answer me....and I go on this website to see other people's experience's and opinions, I seem to be doing well, altjough I have major swelling difference on my right side and my thighs seem to be really thick and none of my jeans fit me......but I am the type who knows to wait and see what happens and be patient as our bodies are all different and take shorter or longer to heal! If you are concerned then you should see another doctor and get a second opinion, my doctor didnt see me for very long, but for some reason I am confident in him as I know he cannot be perfect......time will tell!

Thanks......I'm 6 weeks post op now, just haven't had time to post a picture, back to work, and the kids are keeping me super busy along with household stuff! I'm having issues as my weight hasn't moved down from surgery and I workout 5 days a week........and no jeans still as everything has moved upwards with surgery and my thighs are too thick to fit in pants! Thank goodness for lulu lemon clothes! Oh and you are looking good too, I read your story.....sounds like you and I have a lot in common......my dream is to meet Jillian Michaels one day and get her to mentor me.....LOL as if that would happen!

Thank you, I am just hoping to fit in my pants soon! When you are all healed I hope you work hard and make it to your goal......this is just part of our journeys........good days/bad days!
