Wow how far I've come

WORTH IT$13,000
Here we are 21 weeks in and life is really normal. It's been quite the recovery. I'm still itch in my spots and the incision pink but I'm happy the recovery is over.

Let me start by saying Dr McLennan has been amazing and im even more amazed by my procedure with each day that passes. The staff at the clinic were amazing and I would not go anywhere else in the future. I also like having the procedure in a real hospital with the ability to stay until it's the right time to go home

Glad you are doing well Classy Gal!!!
Thanks- how are you doing ?
I'm doing better - 8 weeks p.o., light exercise and walking - just trying to get back to normal, not thinking about "it" as much, I think my hormones are out of wack after TAH, so will get blood work done soon, but the TT part is great, thrilled to look good in my clothes again and not be self conscious!
Yeah I hear you on that;) glad it's going well for you. It might take some time to adjust to harmony meds. Give it time.
How are you now ?
You look great! I am wondering if that wound too tight pressure on the muscles has gone away. I am 6 weeks po tt and that is driving me crazy:(
Yes it goes away. I feel pretty normal now except for the internal itching that I can't relieve. And the no feeling is hard to get used to.
You look amazing! I am off to Banff in a little over two weeks - so nervous....gosh I would be happy with results like you have!
Thanks so much hope all goes well for you.
Thank you! She is an awesome Dr - so not concerned about her - but more about my body!
Hi there - I'm physically good - doing weight machines and cardio. But mentally, the worst ever. I am just not the same after the surgery. Did they do a partial lobotomy too without my consent?! My blood work is all normal. I've been on a rollercoaster of antidepressants- they all have bad side effects for me.Anxiety through the roof. Exercise helps but not like it used to. I hope you are not experiencing anything like this!
Pm u
wow ladies thanks for sharing here, it really helps to know what to expect that its not going to be peachy. i am embarking on the same combo surgery soon and a bit hesitant to do both but i know i will not do separate surgeries so this would be better. did you have any doctors say no to combo surgery. how long did the whole surgery take . thanks again for sharing, very helpful

11 weeks

Well it's been 11 weeks still recovering I'm still tender in spots when I touch certain areas and it hurts to cough and sneeze. Can't wait for the recovery to end. Even getting up and turning in bed can be painful at times

Hang in there classy gal - your abdomen looks great though- I hope each day gets better and better.
Thanks crocc. It's one hell of a recovery. My bladder even has some issues that when I pee sometimes it hurts at the end like when you get an infection. DR said it should resolve within 6 months. Sigh.
You look amazing, but it's not encouraging that you needed five full weeks. I am only 11 days postop and requested a month off, though I can always increase it.
I did have the partial hysterectomy that I think prolonged things quite a bit - not sure if you are having the same - how are you doing?
I had a hernia repair, tummy tuck (T shape) and inner thigh lift. I am only 11 days out and feel like I am doing well considering that. I still have two drains and still have a hard time sitting because my thigh incisions go under my butt cheeks and they are so sensative!
Classy gal how are you doing? I am 5 days post op - I overdid it yesterday and am paying for it today ugh! I did post my story under "crocc". I hope you are doing okay!? Wishing you well!!
Pretty much back to normal now. Starting the gym soon. How are you doing ?

7 weeks

Each week gets better. Swelling is much better and trying to hard to. Or wear compression garments but now my skin is ultra sensitive from being wrapped up all the time. Now everything is itchy grrrr.

Scar is better of course - can't wait for the red to resolve.

Wow you look great! I'm glad everything is going well (except for the itching)!
I'm sure it will pass soon. Just needs to adjust again.
I read that the itchiness is a sign of your nerves connecting. My body is doing that also
You know what..it's great youve put down how you feel. As that's what I'm worried about...more about getting depressed after surgery.

Hope you get well soon
I know people do mixtures of lotion and oil for their scar treatment but I fail to write it down and now I do not want to go back and read through posts to find it. Can you let me know what you did? Much appreciated.
I used vitamin E oil and at night maderma ( sp?) it's a nightly scar treatment. Some of the scars are already turning white for me.
Just Vitamin E for me
