Fingers Crossed! - New York, NY

I absolutely LOVE your results! You look awesome and I hope you can see that real soon. I am 5 weeks post op and going through swell hell , heres to a speedy recovery for all of us TTers!

I will be three weeks post op tomorrow, and if been given the ok to come off my binder!!!! OMG that is the best thing anyone has ever told me! Between sweating like crazy underneath it and trying to hide it underneath my clothes im completely sick of it. I hate that thing so much yet feel naked without it..lol So I have resumed sexual activity also although my PS says i should wait till 6 weeks. My husband just cant resist my new body. Everything else is fine, I am in my stage 2 garment although my PS doesnt think they are necessary. I ordered mine from makemeheal.com and I find that it isnt tight enough. I am usually an XL (before surgery) so I bought both an XL and a L and they are both way too comfortable. ( I had a seroma so i have to stay in tight compression for at least two more weeks) My PS says that I can wear a Spanx or Tight panty girdle for the seroma but other than that it isnt necessary. I went to Walmart and bought an Extra Firm Panty Girdle in a large and although I almost gave up on putting it on, with my husbands help I got it on and now I feel like im in heaven!! It was only 10 bucks as oppossed to the 80 bucks i paid on makemeheal.com and it is basically the same thing! Actually the cheaper one has more support. As for all the other healing, my lipo spots are getting softer (after being rock hard and lumpy) and my incision is fully closed. BB is shrinking nicely too. It is still triangle shaped, hopefully it goes into a circle! On another note, I remember when i started reading everyone elses journey and i heard about the depression and mood swings after surgery. I always said " Nah that wont be me, I know what to expect and i wont get depressed." But 3 weeks post op i can honestly say that Ive gotten depressed and at times i feel it wasnt worth it because im wrapped up in these tight ugly binders and sometimes i cant sleep nor wear my pre op clothes. But as time is going by i can honestly say it is definitely worth it and I am happy I did this for myself. My ugly pouch is gone and I am not self concious anymore, I now love my hubby when he puts his hands around my waist and can appreciate sex in a more satisfying way instead of worrying about where my fat is hangin from and how to disguise it!! Thanks girls for all you support and warm wishes. I will update pics tonight. For all you tt'ers hope your recovery is going smooth!!

Thanks i will put new pics on tomorrow

O and bye the way she drained 180ccs of fluid and still left some in tere. I go back on friday for more draining and sremoval of stiches from bb

Awww thanks, im feeling ALOT better , i can honestly say im almost back to normal. Today is post op day 15 and my PS was finally able to drain my seroma yedterday. My tummy is flat again n i am in luv with my new body. The lump i felt was the binder all bunched up, how embarassing! I guess i was just to nervous that i took it way overboard, but even tho my seroma has filled up again i know it can be resolved painlessly and i dont regret my surgery one bit. Good luck to my fellow tters everything does get better with every passing day!!
