Well, girls I'm 13 weeks post op today!! I went from a size 18 to a 10-12, I thought at first I would not get this size, because after surgery I was bigger then before the surgery, but I was buying new clothes and started with 16's and they got to big and then went for 14's and then they were to big and now 12's, I could get in a 10 but I don't think they will go over my butt!! Lol!! 12's are big in the waist but I wear a belt, I have always had plenty of junk in the trunk!! Now I am balanced out! If I have one more person ask me if I had a boob job I will scream, I tell them no I had a tt I always have had big boobs I'm a 36 D, they just are not sitting on my stomach anymore and you can see them!, lol!! So to all of you just having it done or 3 or 4 weeks out it does get better and the swelling goes down more and more, even after 3 months!! I still swell right above my scar, but it goes down at night, hope everyone is healing well!!

Hey Ana313' thanks I just weighed and I have lost 27 pounds so far, I just looked at your page and wow your results are great too!!! My husband has said the same thing, he can't believe my rolls are gone!! He was bad enough before my surgery and now I can't keep his hands off me!!! Glad you are doing good, I still have some ab soreness and numbness, but other then that I'm good, walking and going to curves, after my work outs laying in tanning bed, the heat feels good to my back where I ad lipo!!

Well, I am 8 weeks out today from a full tt and lipo to the flanks! All I can tell you is that it does get better, most of the swelling is gone, still get some at night if I am up all day working, but for the must over it. Not to say that I don't still have pain every now and then, if I do to much or lift something. But mostly when I cough. The scar is already down to nothing. The only thing I have to get used to and did not even think about was my back bone, ever since I had the lipo when I bend over I can feel my back bone against the skin and it's been a long time since I could feel that, doesn't hurt just weird! Hope everyone is doing good!,

Thanks, I actually am in a size 12 now!! Was a 16-18 when in had the tt!! I still have some muscle pain, my ps said it would take 6 months from the date I'd surgery for the stomach muscles to be healed, so that you can't tear them back apart!! Only hurts when in do to much pulling and lifting around my bb!! Hope you and everyone is healing and making progress!!

glad to hear from you tmama, im 3 1/2 weeks and have been doing good but last day or so seems like i am swelling more, i have been walking more but thought that would be a good thing, not overdoing anything, kind og ready to be "normal" again but have realized that may be a while, im very happy with the outcome, just wanting to do more and cant, any advice is appreciated, dont really know if im doing too much at times or not enough, was sick to stomach all night, diareea etc, not sure what that was all about, walked around a festival for a while, took it easy but walked alot, who knows...............
