So here is the start of my experience. If you've read my posts under the mini TT category you know this has taken me a while to reach this point! I'm just in the middle of my first ok procedure. So far so good. It did hurt a bit at first. A mix of stinging and burning. Right now it's more like a dull sting. I'll write more once I get home later...

Day of treatment
12 Hours Later..
The massage following the procedure hurt. My abs were very sore to the touch. I went for lunch with my daughter and things were fine. I was sore, but ok.
I took a nap as I was tired and sore. When I woke up I felt ok but when I tried to stand, ouch! It's as though Gravity was pulling everything down and the weight caused a lot of pain.
I had forgotten I'd read about compression helping so I went to WalMart and got a couple pairs of compression shorts. Medium compression-THEY HELP. Things don't feel pulled down which causes less pain.
I did a lot of research but missed the part about more pain when you've had the large applicator applied. My abs hurt and are very sensitive but I'm trying not to take any pain meds if I can help it.
Going to bed now (wearing my shorts) I'll post more tomorrow.

I'm glad the compression garments helped. How are your abs today?

Hi Gina!
Very sensitive and numb. Weird combination to process but I guess similar to the feelings after the c-sections minus the actual incision. I just need to keep reminding myself not to lean against anything! It's quite a shocking pain when I do!

Day 2
Things are moving along pretty well I think. Turning over in bed hurt a bit so I used a small throw pillow from the couch to add some support which helped.
I got up feeling ok, had a shower and vacuumed the house today. No major pain just tenderness. Accidentally leaning against anything was like getting a jolt! Very sensitive!
I spent the rest of the day relaxing in the sun. Wore my shorts all day and plan to for the next few days as I'm definitely swollen.
I go back to work on Friday and will be working a double (psw) so I'll try to rest up as much as I can

Getting some sun sounds like a great way to spend the day. I hope you have a restful time until you go back to work Friday. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Thank you Gina! I hope things continue to go smoothly! I'm getting a little scared about the next few days. It seems for most, that's when the stabbing pain begins? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!
Thanks for checking in and we look forward to more updates.
