8 weeks post op TT, Flank Lipo, Breast Aug.

Ok RS ladies. It's been a while since I've posted an update. I went camping in the Keys just at my 6 weeks post op. It wasn't that bad traveling, just had to get up and move every few hours. I just saw the Dr last Thursday for my 8 week/ 2 month post op visit. I've been cleared to go back to working out, except to hold off on any abdominal workouts. I'm still numb in the tummy area, but that will take a while to go away. That's what I've been hearing. The swellng has gone down, but I still swell as the day goes on and I have noticed that if I sit for long periods and stand uo, it may take me a while to straighten back up. Im still afraid of stretching too much, don't wanna mess anything up. My scars are healing well, I have to put some lightening cream the Dr. F prescribed. I have alot of pigment in my skun, so my scar darkened. Anyways, he did it so well, you can't even tell when I wear underwear, so I don't mind. Also, I finally went to VS and was fitted for a bra, since I've also been cleared to wear whatever bra I want... 34DD!!!!

1 month Post Op (4weeks)

Hello ladies! So it's been 4 weeks post op this passed Friday. The swelling continues to go down, but I notice more swelling at night after being on my feet. My insicion sites are bumpy and really hard, but I was told to keep using the scar stick and massaging the sites. I know I'm still swollen because I'm 5-6lbs heavier than I was pre-op. My abs and brests are still numb :-( and it still hurts whenever I cough, sneeze, or laugh. Also, when I massage my breasts, I hear like a rubber noise? Maybe the implant rubbing on my ribs or muscles inside? I'm hoping this will all go away soon.

Swelling continues

Going into week 3 post op (3 weeks this Thursday) I feel alot better. I can do a little more, but I have to constantly remind myself yo take it easy. Today, I was up on my feet most of the day, so by the end I noticed my feet were swollen. Another sign to take it easy. I am still wearing my compression garments and said by next week I should be moving into wearing spanks. I've already gotten so used to wearing them - it feels more secure when I have em on. I did notice that one of my bobbies are still more swollen than the other one. Maybe because they lifted my nipple on one of them? I will call and ask. Anyways, I still feel numb in the breast area especially around the nipple and my abdomen still feels numb. Hoping all the swelling will start to go down as well as the numbing. I just can't wait to start working out again, but that will take time too. I don't want to get back into things and mess up anything that the doctor did.
