5 week update...
Well, it's been five weeks since surgery (feels like double that, lol). I feel great....I returned to all normal activities & felt comfortable driving at 4 weeks. My scab finally fell off my new fabulous bb this week & I was able to start wearing a small silicone scar patch and the redness has gone down tremendously. I've been putting maderma on my hip2hip incision scar but can't see any change. I'll probably order a strip for it soon. I'm down 2 sizes in shirts (xl--m) and one size in bottoms (14--12). So exciting!! I did return to my PS this week & he aspirated about 20cc's of fluid. Looks like my seroma is just about gone, woo hoo....having fluid drained from you with a giant needle is never fun! I'll take & post 5week pics tomorrow.
Unrealistic expectations....
Lately I've been thinking about how most doctors tell you to expect a 10day recovery period and that "most" go back to work at two weeks..... This all seems pretty ridiculous to me now. Of course I believed what I was told. Two weeks certainly sounds like plenty enough time to be back to normal, right? Wrong!! I'm not trying to scare anyone, just want future TT'ers to expect a month of recovery. It is totally worth it! But a very long process.... Filled with highs and lows, you need to be mentally ready for this transitioning period. Make sure to surround yourself with supportive loved ones, you CAN do this!
3 weeks post update! Happy Happy Happy
Well, it's been a long three weeks. I'm not going to sugar coat it, the first week is pretty brutal. The second week, still a little sore and swollen. Then I had an allergic reaction to some of the medication I was taking for a yeast infection brought on by 10 days of antibiotics, Not Fun! My hands double in size & itched like crazy for 3 days (my 3 year old said I looked like 'wreck it Ralph') ANYWAY, it's the third week I'm not taking any medicine and I feel AMAZING! My PS aspirated 45ccs from my seroma yesterday. My belly button stopped oooozing & has a scab now. I'm down 6lbs somehow. I can still feel my abs are sore & I start swelling if I over do it. I still dont feel completely comfortable driving. Having said all that, I'm so so so happy I finally did this for myself. This is a LIFE CHANGING surgery! I went shopping yesterday after my dr appt & I found myself tearing up in the dressing room but this time these were tears of pure joy. I couldn't believe how great clothes fit ME. Happy Happy Happy
