I hit my 6 week PO date today! That means I don't have to wear my compression garment anymore. Wahoo! I remember asking people that had a TT done if they regretted it at all and not one person said no. I was thinking today if I were asked that question what I was say. My answer would be that I am very happy with my TT and I absolutely do not regret it! Recovery was a lot better then anticipated and the swelling has gone down so much! I love not having my love handles hang over my pants. I love not worrying about my pooch every time I sit down! The only thing I don't love is the scar around my belly button. I am sure that will fade though. It was worth it for the other benefits!
Hopefully my posts help others who are thinking about doing a TT!

Honestly, I'm not using anything. I had an allergic reaction the the steristrips that were put on and then any scar treatment afterwards I've reacted to as well. Im just putting really good lotion on right now but that's it. I did use this silicone band for a few days and was more red from that. I wonder if the redness is from healing? Also I take vitamins and drink alkaline water. Maybe that helps? Who knows?!?
Looking great wow. Hope u had fun in maui it is beautiful here

Tomorrow is my 5 week post op. I feel great! My family took a vacation to Maui for Spring Break and I have had no problems! I've been talking good walks for an hour in the morning. I haven't been wearing my compression garments at all during the day but wear them at night when I sleep. I've felt a bit of swelling but not much. I'm very happy with my results! This is the first time in my life I have ever felt confident enough to wear a bikini! I love it! I hope you are all happy with your results or getting excited for surgery!

Looking awesome girl! I have the same type of garment and it is completely concealed by my clothing. I love wearing it while at work. I am very active at work so it helps to support me while I am in the healing phase. I am five weeks out and returned to work at 2 1/2 weeks PO. It was definitely hard to get into the swing of things but I am finding that I am stronger everyday. The swelling isn't so bad anymore at the end of the day. I still have some swelling but not much. I do get sore if I have over done it but I try to listen to my body. I am NOT lifting anything at work yet that is over 10 lbs. So all of the paint cans have to wait...lol. I get my guys to do it and they have been so helpful while I recover...:). They don't know exactly what I am recovering from but they are so willing to help anyway...makes it so much easier for me as a manager to have a team like them.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you have wonderful results and I am hoping to get my flanks and tummy as nice as you. For some reason I think my doctor didn't do them during surgery. I did't have the bruising and the soreness like I did in my other areas that were lipoed. So I think he overlooked it by accident. Not sure...will find out more tomorrow at my po appt.
Keep us posted on your progress...you are an inspiration!

Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article on Papper... but what can I say... I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done.
Seriously you look amazing!! So happy for you :)
