41 Yr Old, 3 C-sections, 1 Vertically. Mommy Makeover - Bedford, NH

I can't believe how fast time has gone by!

I'm just shy of two months post tt & bl. I'm back to work full time for 3 weeks now. I don't wear a binder no matter what. I swell and just deal with it. My weight has been stable, I'm slowly going back to swimming 4-5 days a week and walking at least 3 days a week. I'm up at 5am until 9 or 10 each night. I'm not having any issues. I would like a little Lipo on a couple spots I'm not sure will deminish with weight loss, but we'll see.

I love going out and sometimes not having to wear a bra. I'm wearing bodycon dresses and clothes I never dreamed of wearing.

I did have such a hard time finding jeans! I'm still the same size as I was, given the fact that I have thighs and a butt ;). Finding stuff to fit my waist was challenging. They would all be too baggy in the crotch and frumpy looking. I finally found jeggings that fit all over at torrid. My breasts went down a cup size. From ddd to dd.

So happy and no regrets!!! ??

I'm slowly building back my stamina. I have good days and days I feel like I haven't slept in days.
A few days ago, I noticed redness the size of a golf ball on the left side below my belly button. It spread straight across to my right side. No pain or fever, but I had a small hole open up on my incision line. It's a scab that's been there since a few days after my tt. yesterday it opened up and bled a bit. I'm thinking I have a infected stitch, or access that is causing the redness. My PS prescribed an antibiotic and I'm seeing him in person tomorrow morning.

I don't think I have a seroma, but still having lots of swelling in my Mons area and a little above. My breasts are settling and look amazing.

It's almost been a month since my mm.

I got my last drain out. Didn't hurt a bit. My ps took the last of the take off my breasts.

Everything looks awesome. I was warned I may swell a little due to no drains.

The worst is my mons area. All was good most of yesterday, I felt so good all day. I got home last night and my mons area was very swollen and hard. So uncomfortable. I made sure to add additional compression as I slept.

This morning was a little better, but does hurt to sit upright. I've been working at my computer and then taking a break lying down. I still swell in my thighs at times.

I know this won't last forever, but hoping I don't have to wear my binder much longer. It's not the most comfortable thing.

I also was given the all clear to wear normal bras. I wore an underwire yesterday and padded underneath my breasts, so it wouldn't irritate my stitches. Still wear a sports bra to bed and can't lay on my sides yet.

I return to work full time in two weeks. Some days working 18 hours. Hoping I can build up the stamina to tolerate it.
