  • Posted to Almost 7 months after - BettyM Post Op Update on 18 Oct 2012
    Thanks for your 7 month postop post! I often look on here for women that are 6 months to years postop because I would like to have an idea of where I may be at at that point. I too am wondering when the day will come where I won't wake up thinking about what i just went thru. Your post gives me hope:) Thanks again and you look great by the way!

    I totally understand about the money and agree with you that she should fix the tt at no cost to you. Maybe you could take her in some pics of other women that looked similar to you before and then after pics to show the difference...and explain that these were the results you were hoping for. I still would be very leary of her doing anymore surgery. If at the end of your next meeting she does not come around, I would definitely mention that I would be contacting a lawyer. Have you tried contacting another PS in your area to explain your situation and see if they offer any advice as to how to proceed? I don't know if they would offer any advice or not, but it's just a thought. How are you feeling these days?

    Congrats on your surgery and healing! Don't worry about the tampon...it will be fine. I too only use those and I started mine about 5 days after my surgery. I was weirded out about it but it was nothing! Take it easy...you'll be 4 weeks then 6 postop and will be feeling so much better:)

    Congrats for getting thru the first week! Trust me, it will get better each day but don't be surprised if you have some down days. That to will pass:) This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I'm 4 weeks postop and still a little sore especially if I overdo it. I had a tt with muscle repair and a breast aug...the BA was worse for me than the tt. It is amazing what these dr's can do with our bodies! I still can't beleive I did it..still getting used to what I see in the mirror. Relax and get as much rest as possible! Pretty soon 4 weeks, the 6 will pass and you will be feeling so much better:)

    That's what I'm wondering at this point...I don't want to keep that feeling forever!
