You look great!!! Wishing you speedy recovery!

U look great. He will be doing my sx in July i can't wait..Thx for sharing looking forward to more pics

I want to start by saying I am so proud of you! Hey, I am proud of me also, as I sit here 8 days out from my hernia repair, tummy tuck. You use the word courage and I agree, it does take much courage to put ourselves through this after decades of putting family first. I have 4 adult children. My first pregnancy was a twin pregnancy. Need I say more? I also had a daughter that took this journey 4 years prior to me. She had already done all the research on the PS and had wonderful results. My 3 daughters encouraged me to at least have the consultation. My Son knows I had a hernia repaired but I have not said the actually word Tummy Tuck. Now isn't that ridiculous? He tends to be judgmental and non supportive and I didn't need that in the mix of emotions) That was scary. I do nothing for myself. Well, all this past winter I had the feeling like my insides were going to drop out. At the consultation I found out I had a very large hernia. My daughters were so wonderful telling me this was now a no brainer and to go for it. Still, the scariest thing I have done in my life. I turn 59 on the 18th of May, so, I wrestled with the whole age thing of can I physically handle it, will I get enough years of enjoyment from it, am I being vain, can I actually spend that kind of money on me??? Just want to wrap this up and say I have breezed through this. Coughing was NO picnic. That has improved greatly. Still don't want to do it, but its getting easier. Had the drainage tubes out yesterday and I can wear clothes again. I have been walking up and down my street since day 3. I only needed pain meds the first 4 days. We are so deserving of this later in life gift. I believe each morning we zip out slacks we will be reminded we made a good choice. Friends and family kid me about when I will get the bikini out. That is so far from what the decision and journey were about to me. I feel fantastic that I now have support in my abdomen. You hang in there and start moving. I love walking as it keeps the joints oiled and my mind clear. Won't it feel super to be comfy in our clothes? Rhonda Mother to 4 Mimi to 4

I am 58 years old. I am also 5'3" like you. I had my TT and breast lift on April 1. I have dropped 3 sizes, I am now wearing a size 6 that fits perfect, and love the way my body looks. I guess that I dressed very baggy to cover my stomach. I expected to feel 100% by now, big surprised. I am still very stiff and dislike my scars. The scar on the left side looks better than the right, both sides are still dark red. I have a little puckering on the right side. I am wearing a cg 24/7. PS says the scars will start to look better and that I need to be patient, and has told me to only apply neosporin to them.

Bless you dear

Yep that's the neosporin. It's a pretty common reaction to it. I get it too esp when I cover it with a bandaid or gauze.

You need to have something between your skin and the binder. Maybe a light t -shirt .
Sorry about that.
Davoudi is my Dr. too and that was one of the tips nurse Toni gave me. Prior to that I kept abdominal pads on first.

It will get better every week. I slept on the recliner for 6 weeks before I tried sleeping in my bed and I went back to the recliner for another week. Wore my compression garment 24/7 until week 8 and am at 10 weeks and feel that I am just healing slower because I am 57. Time will fly by fast and you will be totally healed! By the way you are looking good :)

Hope you are soon feeling much better. You really do look good - know the redness must be uncomfortable, but hope that goes away soon and you will be able to enjoy your new look!

I've been wearing a drain for a stubborn seroma for 2 weeks. It appeared 2 weeks after my surgery. Davoudi wants the drain to be dry before he removes it. Slow recovery here too. All else is great!

I think I will be wearing my cg for awhile too, I am just too uncomfortable without it...but yuck...we are just about into summer weather here, should be fun....

Hi where did u purchase this garment from with the zipper?
