Hi
This is not an answer, however I am looking or more hoping to find a great TT surgeon in Australia.
Would you or anyone else that can point towards someone great in either Sydney or Melbourne please help me.
I need a review of TT gone bad.
Thanks
Hi Rene,
Wow. Do not do to much to soon. You are in the early stages and going to a gym this soon is not wise.
Please check with your PS, from what I have read, its normally about 6 weeks or so later and very slow and easy movements under the supervision of an instructer at the Gym. As for the massage, again about 6 weeks or so, but make sure you get recommended to someone who understands lymphatic massages as if done incorrectly can cause more pain and harm than it should.
Hope this helps

Hi Kim,
Yes, that is how I feel. Had I been told I too would have had lipo and lymphatic massages. Apparantly after a tt we accumulate a lot of fluid as the day goes on, I know I notice that I may start the day not to bad but by the time the evening arrives I look bloated and feel awful.
As for the inner thighs yes lipo will get rid of the problem but it can give you a whole new set of problems. We cannot win Kim, the truth is the Dr's leave out to much info at time of consult and we do not know the "right" questions to ask and thats where the problem starts. My inner thighs look like jello bags and just wobble, I hate it and it looks awful and sadly excercise has done nothing for me either. Where to go from her, well Lipo would solve it but then saggy skin means leg lifts? no way I give up Kim unless you have any advice or luck elswhere, let me know.
I hope other women read this before they get a tt so that they know to ask the questions we never had a chance to ask;

Hi Kim
Yes my weight went up 5 kilos after ttuck with a 6 month period. I now go to a gym regulary and am starting to drop weight but inner thighs are the same.
Hi Kim,
I have found out some info which explained a few things.
Firstly I have now been told that it takes up to 5 years for our lymphatics to get back to normal as when you have a ttuck the lymphatic drainage is interupted and has to find a new route to take (no one told me this) which is why we can carry a lot of "fluid" for years. As for the fat problem, I am told that after a ttuck the fat has to find new places to go as the stomach is blocking any new fat there. So it goes to our hips as in muffin top, our butt and yes the inner thighs as it is easier for fat the accumulate at lower levels now becaus the tummy has been completely closed off to a lymphatic drainage and fat collection. As for lipo, I too enquired, after being told that I could be left with droopy yes droopy skin and that I may require 5,000 worth of anti cellulite massage on top of the lip suction I walked out in utter shock. These are all the things I was not told. As for your question did I gain weight well 10 after surgery when I was home I noticed underwear no longer fit, and as time went on and I mean a few months my butt grew first and I found my old clothes were too small, then starting January this year is when my inner thighs took on a life of there own. I dont know about you but I was not told to get lymphatic massages regularly, I was not told that a ttuck should also coincide with lipo on the hips a butt area to stop accumulation. So what should have happened was TTuck, followed by lipo, followed by lymphatic massages and had I done all of this well I would have got the result that I had expected. Sorry for the long explanation but I hope you find this helpful.
Let me know if you come across anything.
My tt was done March 2008
