Well it's already been 9 months and I am feeling great. I have never loved myself the way I do now. I love the skin I am in. My breast reduction is scheduled for 10/7/15. My breast are too large for my frame now. I couldn't be any happier with my results.

Dr. Mariotti is an artist! He gave me an idea as to what my results would be based on my frame and weight, but the results have surpassed both mine and his expectations! He and his side kick Sarah make the best team ever. I will definitely return to him for a breast reduction and lift in the future!

13 days post op

I haven't updated much since my surgery. So basically the first two days were the hardest for me. I was having discomfort and I can't stand to be stuck laying down and but moving around. By day three, I was feeling much better. I was lucky to have a drainless tummy tuck, so I don't know of the pains that causes, but based on reviews I am glad I didn't have drains. I started rolling myself on my yoga ball on day four. This helped stretching out my tummy. By day five I was off all pain meds and just using advil. I continued to roll myself several times daily on the yoga ball. I am happy to say that I am completely upright with no pain. I can laugh, cough, sneeze and have even started having sex again with no pain. I was back in my own bed at day six. I feel very fortunate that I have had a relativity easy recovery with little swelling. I even stopped wearing the compression garment. But I really do swear by the yoga ball, it works! Tomorrow marks 2 weeks, and I couldn't be happier with my results. It was really worth every cent spent!

You are looking good and sounds like you feel good too! Wooohooo! Sex baby! Haha! I've been a little naughty too but when you look this good, it is hard not to want to try things out. I am so happy for you that you are doing so well. Thank you for the yoga ball tip. I wonder if I should used mine as a chair for a while at my desk to see if it helps.
I really am feeling great. Things are moving along. I go back to work on monday and I feel like I am ready. The yoga ball has really been a game changer. I swear by it. I sit on it and watch TV, I roll on it and stretch. It's definitely worth a try!
The big excersie balls? And what did you do lay on your back? Lol. I'm getting a stainless in 9 days. Curious. Ty!! You look great!!
Did you wear a compression?
Yep use the big yoga ball. After a few days of laying on my back and rolling back and fourth, I was able to lay flat on my back in bed. Thank you. I should post a new update :)
I only wore the garment for 3 weeks. I wear it every now and then when I have have some swelling.
Wow!!! That's amazing! I'm 21 days post op and can not imagine having sex right now. That's crazy! So happy for you!

Had my post op today and so far so good. The incision line looks great. No pain, so I decided to just use motrin for swelling and no more percocet. I also got to take a shower today and that was a wonderful feeling. I am standing up straighter. So far so good.
