Hello RS! All is well, just trying to maintain my weight. My appetite is 'way' back to normal and I still love chocolate. I have not experienced any complications from my TT. Later in the evening I still swell but not in the same manner immediately following the surgery. Some of the swelling can be contributed to my body's water retention issue (ongoing problem for me) and the southern heat. This is one of the best decisions I've made; I feel great, look better in my clothes and have tried new styles. I am now seriously considering breast reduction and lift. I'm a DD which is nice but with a flatter tummy they look huge. Happy healing to you all!

I turned 40 years old on Dec 29 and I am so happy. I made the decision to have a TT as I enter into a new phase of my life. I am blessed and have a flat tummy!

Happy Birthday! I am having surgery with Dr. C in March. Your results are amazing and it seems that you had an awesome recovery too. You really are on the flat side! Thanks for keeping us updated. Congrats!

I had my one month with Dr. Cochran on 12/28 (1 day before my 40th birthday) and all is well! Dr. Cochran and his staff were extremely nice as usual. I was given a shot of cortisone in my naval to help with darkening. He stated it was forming keloid and its just something that happens (especially with darker skin). The nurse came in a took my 'after' pics and for a first time in years I was eager to pose in my undies. She provided me with a side by side view of my before & after pics. Can you say, WOW? If only I know years ago what I know today. I have been very blessed with my TT recovery and I am thankful. I pray everyone is doing well. Happy Healing!
