Had Post Op Appointment yesterday

WORTH IT$9,500

I am healing really well. I feel very blessed that my body handled the surgery so well. Staying hydrated which means lots of getting up. Pain is manageable. Still really swollen and will be for awhile. My post surgery weight was 20lbs higher. Back down to pre surgery weight. I plan to wear silicone strips or 8 weeks as soon as my scars heal. It is really hard not working out but...seriously my health and recovery is the most important goal for now.

I am glad to hear your recovery nicely with no issues, Lessing to you! I had my no-drain TT w/hernia repair on 11/15 and I'm sill recovery as well. I notice you have the same middle fold as I do due to the progressive tension sutures, I got real disappointment but I had my surgeon who is great explain everything to me because I jus couldn't understand. That is something surgeons should tell you when It relates to no-drain TT. You loo great and can't wait to see the final results
Don't worry too much about tension sutures. I had a mini face lift in January it was 6 months before I saw my true results. It takes time and patience. Glad your recovering well.
Thanks and I meant to say Blessing to you in the prior post
How are you doing?? Hope your recovery is going well
Hi did you say you went down 20 pds after your TT also how is that cream working out. I'm scheduled to get a Tummy tuck February super excited about but have so many questions about the recovery how soon did you start walking afterwards? You look great so far
The day after my tummy tuck I weighed 20lbs heavier than my pre op weight. It was from all the swelling. It gradually went down over the next few weeks. I was walking the next day but with the help of my meds. Yes, I still use my relief cream!! Wishing you a smooth recovery.
Glad your recovering well . Where Did you get your cbd cream ? I'm planning on a 360 body lift ,drainless TT, but now have to wait till this Virus goes away . I'll definitely be wanting to try that cream .you look great . :) xo
Thank you for sharing your journey I hope it continued to be uneventful. You look incredible I would love to see how you look now and hear about how you are feeling

Swelling,Swelling, Swelling

I have more energy as it is improving each day. Still taking it easy with lots of bed rest. I am able to walk around ok. The swelling is horrible I had no idea my lady parts could hurt so bad from the swelling. I am drinking lots of water and using arnica gel. Looking forward to my post op on Tuesday. I want to get rid of these bloody bandages. My facelift recovery was a walk in the park compared to this,

Oh man I have no clue what they do with the lady parts during surgery! If you look at my post and zoom in, I am soooo bruised there! There is one spot right underneath the stri strip that is normal skin tone, but the rest of it is TOTALLY black and blue! It was about 2 weeks for that bruising and soreness to go away. I even felt like I had open wounds on the sides of my labia of course I was in no shape to be able to investigate that
Also we had the same problem area. Right after surgery I noticed the fat buldge in the front under my bra. I questioned my PS and he said he couldn't lipo that at the same time as tt because that's where the blood supply is. He said he can lipo this in office (more $$). I didn't think I would consider it. But now as my tummy shape is really coming together I think I am going to have to have it done because it's becoming more noticable. I haven't seen much mentioned on RS about it but as I'm researching it looks like there is an upper and lower abdominal plasty if there is loose skin above the belly button. Just wondering if I do lipo if my skin will retract.
Hello, can you post updated photos?
Once you exercise your stomach you’ll be fine. That was my Dr. advice & it has worked for me. Happy healing
Hi Coqui0826. Thanks for the information. I checked out your profile. You look FABULOUS!

Feeling better today

Getting lots of sleep with the assistants of my pain medicine. The trick is to stay ahead of the pain. I am still drinking a gallon of water daily. When I get up to urinate I do laps around the house. Not much of an appetite still juicing and having lots of soup. Swelling is pretty bad, but I would not expect anything different given what I put my body through. My CBD relief cream has provided so much relief to my lower back,

Can I order this cream online? I had a TT and Lipo on Dec 13 and my back is so sore from being hunched over. My recovery is taking longer than expected. How are you feeling?
If marijuana is legal in your state you can pick it up at a dispensary. Otherwise try picking a cream with CBD at CVS or Walmart. Recovery is rough. I pretty much sleep 20 hours a day. You can Lao is a heating pad on your back. Feel better soon!
Totally overlooked the Denver screen name. Lol.
