WORTH IT
4 weeks PO!!!!!! Well Ladies today is my 4 week po from my breasts and tomorrow will be 4 weeks PO from my full TT and Lipo!
I must say that the time just flew by... I can not believe that it has been 1 month already. I must give all my thanks to my God because he has blessed me with the most amazing recovery ever. I have been doing very well and the only thing that was a little of a bother was that I had a small seroma... I only had to get drained 3 times and that did not even hurt. it was just the thought of it all.
I am still wearing my cg even though my PS said I can wear spanx. I do wear the spanx when I go out But, when I get home I run to put on my CG... it feels so much better with it on. I love my new tummy and Boobies. I wish all the ladies a healthy and peaceful recovery and for those who have yet to get theirs done... I promise you will not ever regret getting this done. this site has not only been a blessing to me but I have made many life long lasting friendships that will continue. If anyone has any questions please just inbox me and I will be glad to help. As time goes by I will post more pictures and the swelling goes down. Take care and God Bless each and every one! God speed : )

Hello Ladies--- Today is 3 Weeks PO Actually it is...
Jhowell825July 19, 2012
Hello Ladies--- Today is 3 Weeks PO Actually it is 3 weeks today since I had my TT done. Wow amazing how time flies!! I went to my PS yesterday and got 35 cc's drained from a seroma... I know it is the pits but actually the draining did not hurt it is just the thought. My ps does not leave the drains in past 10 days. He said the infection is far worse then a seroma. So I have nothing to worry about. I am not draining that much so he does not think it will last long. ( let's hope) it is a bummer to me since I had the most easy time with surgery and the recovery has been easy as well. with the exception of this damn seroma. But he said I am doing great and healing like a champ. I do however go back tomorrow ( Friday) that is a pain too! but I just want this to be over with. I am swollen esp my vajajay.OMG it feels like a water balloon. does anyone else have that problem???????? I am flat and now have this buldge sticking out further then my belly. OMG hate that : ( But all in all I am doing fine. I work at home so that is a blessing I am my own boss so going to these dr apts are not an issue for me. I am happy with my results and love my new tata's makes it all worth it for me. I hope everyone is healing fine with no problems. Will update soon. Happy healing to all the wonderful ladies and now we can all be FLAT and Happy : )

Wow Jhowell, you look amazing. You have some serious ab definition going on and your boobs look great as well. Can't wait till my TT time and its coming up fast!
July 19, 2012
Thanks Sue1963~~ I am not sure it is definition but at least it looks like it LOL... I will be working my abs as soon as I can... Can not wait to start working out again on my elliptical. I still need and want to loose another 10-15 lbs.. But at lest when I work out I can eat more of a selection and not be so careful on what I eat. I mean it is joyful when we can eat a little of the finer things with out feeling like OMG what did I do : ) Keep me posted on how you are doing and feeling as your day approaches....

Hi Doylestown, My date is the 30th of July. 10 days to go. I'm very excited and looking forward to just getting it over with now.
July 19, 2012
Good for you ! Mine was June 26, so I'm 3 weeks p.o. For TT and muscle repair. The recovery has been not bad at all. Actually I was prepared for a lot more pain. Good luck to you and keep us posted!
July 20, 2012
yay for you! So exciting! Bummer about the seroma - just glad draining doesn't hurt. Also - I had my pre-op today and she said the swollen Vaginal mound is VERY normal and to wear your compression garmet as low as possible and that will help! Keep up on the fluids and add cucumber to your water! Helps with Swell! I'll joing you on the flat side in 13 days!
July 20, 2012
Thanks Soontobeflat-- yes I hear that all the time and today I noticed that the swelling has gone down a lot so hoping it stays that way. I wear my cg 24/7 except when I shower and then put it back on. I do not like going with out it..even though it is a pain it makes me feel secure with it on. Keep us posted when you hit the flat side and good luck...there was NO pain involved for me at all... and I had a B/L B/A done the day before my TT so I got both done and to tell you the truth..it was a breeze..the worse part for me was the drains coming out of my vaginal mound....even to look at if made me go OMG!!! but then again looking back that was not that bad..so take plenty of vitamin C... 2 weeks prior that helps with you tissue healing.... : )
July 21, 2012
Good luck soontobflat ! I did the cucumber water thing p.o. and I do think it works. I'm almost 4 weeks p.o. (on Tuesday), and doing pretty well.

Jhowell825July 13, 2012
PO day 14..doing well and no stitches. I had them all removed yesterday. That part not so much fun. My ps said I do not have any fluid build up ( I think I do) So he said he will check me again on Monday. Feeling great with the exception of the burning sensation around my breasts where the stitches were removed. it is not bad just a little burning sensation. I posted a picture of me in a bikini LOL still not bikini material but hey what the heck I am 51 and i think I look nice. Wearing it in public well not so much. I live on a lake and have a pool so we are in the water all the time in Florida so i will wear it in my home :) All in all everything is going back to normal but still taking it easy. it has been only 2 weeks and do not want to take any chances at all. Will update again thanks!
