Thanks! I am feeling pretty good! Tomorrow will be 2 wks and I will take new pics then. Healing is going well. Tummy gets sore after a day of being busy. Still trying not to lift things, but I just don't think about it sometimes.
The glue is starting to peel off of the sutures. It's so tempting to pull it off...but I am keeping it covered so I don't get the urge. Nights are still a bit uncomfortable. I am a tosser and turner...and it's hard with a belly brace on.
New pics tomorrow!

Glad to hear your doing well. I'm scheduled for a TT and BL on 12/13/2016. Like all others I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm also a mother of two boys, however, they are 14 and 16. I noticed that your children are grown. Just curious if you would have still done this when they were living at home. I'm a single mom and I struggle with the "what ifs" since I'm the primary parent. I sometimes think I should wait, but then I'll be older too. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks!

That's a good question! Other than fleeting thoughts, I hadn't really thought about it. When my kids were young, I was heavier. Sure, I wanted to be thinner, etc. but I certainly didn't need bigger boobs! and cosmetic surgery just wasn't in the cards, financially.
Fast forward to 2 years ago...I had weight loss surgery! I lost almost 90 lbs... so things went south rather quickly! Lots of saggy skin! THAT was the deciding factor on doing this. It really was not a huge deal to me before, when I was heavier.
It seems to me that your kids are old enough to pretty much take care of themselves. You are going to need as much help as you can get, especially for the first few weeks. BL was a breeze... slight pain and discomfort. The TT is a lot more.
I wish you the best :)
