WORTH IT$10,800
My surgery was Thursday September 8. All I can say is boy oh boy! The first 2 days were the worse . You can't get up by yourself and if you have to cough you feel like your going to die. My breast look amazing but my tummy is still swollen or at least I hope it is. You will need help all I can say . I will update next week .

I'm feeling a lot better , walking more upright . I was told to monitor my drains when fluid gets down to 25cc's in 24 hrs they can come out . I just feel tight not much pain , but I'm still taking my pain meds around the clock too. They will put me in my compression garment tomorrow hopefully it will help the swelling .

Am I seeing definition in your stomach already?
September 13, 2016
Looking good! So you haven't been in a cg at all yet? Wow. I have to be less than 50cc for an entire 24hr period for 2-3 days in a row to get my drains out. Glad you are feeling good and walking better. Did you come home or stay in a facility? I actually woke up hungry today for the first time since surgery. Let's keep rockin' this tecovery!

Yes I here you, recovery is getting easier everyday . No pain just tightness and I'm beginning to itch a little under the binder . I keep it on 24/7 and I take it off when I shower. I'll be here for 2 weeks in a hotel
so I'm enjoying a beach view while recovering . I walk to boardwalk which is only a block away. No compression garment yet . They said tomorrow which will be 6 days post op. .

Oh okay so you have a binder, I thought you meant you weren't wearing anything. lol
September 13, 2016
No I'm wearing the binder they put on you after surgery . Are you wearing one ?
September 13, 2016
Yes, it's the Marena brand with hooks on the side with zipper over that. I've only had it off for showers and that's when hubby washes it.

At day 11 are you moving around a lot? Or are you still resting?
September 19, 2016
I have surgery the 7th of next month a little time off from work, I'm nervous and excited all at once
September 19, 2016
I'm not moving around a lot. I'm still taking it easy . I still have a little pain and tightness, but hits bearable .

Are you back to work or could you return back to work now?
I have my TT in March and I'm only out of work for 10 days.
September 20, 2016
No way .. I go back October 4. Maybe if you have a desk job , but I'm a Respiratory therapist . Honestly 10 days is not enough time off . I'm not even standing straight completely yet. A TT is a big surgery . But everyone is different .
September 20, 2016
Oh boy! I had consultations with a few doctors and they all told me if I had my surgery on a Friday and took the following week off, I would be ready to go back to work that Monday.
I do have a desk job, I'm an accountant.
When I did the BBL, I was out for 3 weeks. Part of that was because my drains ended up staying in for 14 days and I refused to go to work with them in. I heard the TT was an easier surgery than the BBL but that's just going off what other people have told me that have had both done. I am trying not to use all my vacation days.
