Tomorrow is my 2 month anniversary
$6,500
I still feel the same about my trip to DR, the doctor and the staff. Still not happy with my experience.
I am still itching like crazy. Some pains but nothing major. Swelling isn't so bad. I eat well. So I think that helps. Also, I started light stretching as soon as I got home. Progressed rather quickly to yoga, then added in light cardio and light weight training by my one month anniversary. I am now walking/jogging/running 3 miles about 3-5 times a week (depending on weather). I am almost back to my regular yoga routine (some positions cause some pain in my tt incisions) and still light weight training. My weight is 160 and stays right there. I think that may be from building muscle.
Although I am not pleased with my experience, I am happy with my results. My stomach is flat and my breasts are lovely. My butt looks great.
My biggest issue is, surprisingly, clothes shopping. My measurements are 40/26/40. It's hard to find things that fit properly without looking slutty. Just being honest. Welp, that's about it! Going to upload some pictures.

Your results look amazing!!! I don't even see any swelling on the lower part. In matter of fact I don't see much swelling period.. and your scar looks light already... Those 10 to 15 stitches where did you pull all those from?

If you look really close at the close up of the tt scar, you can see a few spots. I heal really fast though. The stitches came out of my breast, under my butt, butt crack, under my breast and tummy tuck. The swelling is worse in the evenings but not very bad at all!

Yes you do heal fast I was still swollen like a water balloon at your po time.. about the stitches I recall mine falling off on their own on my tummy tuck that's why I asked.. you have a hourglass going on there girl :-)

About 2 weeks ago my friend came over (she's a nurse) and told me that the reason some spots weren't healing well is because of the stitches and she yanked them out. I know she was right because the spots closed up immediately. She said that some times, some people's bodies will fight the stitches which will make it longer to heal. My doctor said the same thing. Although I had a shitty experience I am very fortunate to have recovered so quickly! People say that you don't see your full results until 2-3 months but I'm pretty happy the way I am now (plus I think if my stomach goes down anymore, I'll look like a skeleton, my ribs and hip bones are already poking out a little)
Overall, I am very happy with my results.

You look absolutely amazing! I cannot imagine what it must have been like on that first night, and I appreciate your honesty about the whole experience. I have to tell you, though, your results are phenomenal!

Well, I promised to stay honest so that's what I'm going to do. Even though i had a bad experience, my results are great.
Still swelling in my back and lower abdomen. I am doing light cardio, light muscle training and yoga. Massages are pretty good. I'm 2 lbs under my surgery weight. Drinking lots of water and eating fairly well. I have a stitch dimple under my breast and my love handles are still swollen but tthat's about it!
