Mini-TT/BABL/lipo - 7 months PO- not all procedures run smoothly - :( pictures added

Hi Mel- Sorry to hear you are suffering withe pain and swelling too! i am having a really tough time with my tt and not getting depressed. Trying to get to see him is a PITA, but he remains really nice..I think it is more scheduling than him. I have appt with him next week for laser on scars..as you see in picture from blisters and incision is still purple..lipo scars on hips are bad too?! As for out come, I am in pain all day and still really swollen. he is not happy either and wants to do more lipo. Will know more next week. I am kind of regretting the whole mini-tt thing as I look worse now than I did before with scars, pain and swelling -BUT very happy with breasts and back of waist. If he does more lipo I might pay him to do "bra roll" as he did not go that high the first time around. Many hugs and well wishes!

Are you still swelling by the afternoon Mel? I am getting frustrated. D own to 136 but geese didn't think it would take this long...lol!

Hey sweetie - you really do look FABULOUS! If he lipo'd anymore out of your legs they would have no shape!! Really, honestly you look GREAT! We are so hard on ourselves! Take your time..I am almost 5 months PO and still swell...and that was just a mini! Take it easy and keep walking..you are doing great. So sorry to read about the stitches that really sucks. I have tried ALL of the scar therapies and am not convinced anything really made a difference. Kelocote was the best I think. The pads were a PITA and came off sometimes. Hang in there *hugs*

Hey Blonde! I am doing ok. My tummy still gets VERY swollen by 4pm. If I have a pair of pants on it turns black and blue and indented. I have a cruise next weekend which was my goal really - to have a flat tummy so I could wear cute clothes but not gonna happen because of swelling. I have next appt Feb 5 will see what he has to say. I have lost about 5 pounds down to 140. As the boobs have settled my new bra size changed to a 36d/dd depending on brand they are REALLY heavy and hubby loves them but they are too big for me..lol! Happy New Year hope all is going well with you gonna go read you page.xoxo!

Hi there Hun - I am doing ok. Very Hectic holiday season. For some reason all of my pictures were deleted! hmpf. Still have swelling (minor)..and the scar looks black and blue at times...strange huh? I am trying the silicone scar sheeting now. I didnt think recovery would last this long but all is well...:) Happy Holidays!
