So happy with lefty

Had the revision done 6 weeks ago on lefty. I had developed scar tissue and the implant was sitting high. Doctor took care of and I am so happy with the results. The revision surgery was a breeze compared to last time!

Started back with a trainer last night, trying to lose the extra weight I've gained over the past year, only about 8lbs...but that's 8lbs that could ruin what I paid for, right? :)

One year later

Well it's been a year...overall still happy. Not so happy with lefty...developed some scar tissue so never fully dropped. Going in Tuesday for a revision. I'm sure recovery will be a breeze compared to last time! Happiest with the tummy tuck...not having the extra skin is wonderful. Clothes fit better and look better.
Sometimes I have second thoughts about my breasts. Like maybe I should have just done a lift...some days I don't like my implants, but maybe if lefty goes where it's supposed to I feel differently. My doctor has been great. Kind of didn't like the wait and see, but patience is a good thing. Bring on Tuesday! I'm ready!

6 weeks post op...

Officially 6 weeks today and feeling pretty good. Finally noticing the swelling subsiding. Tried on some clothes this weekend and fitting in a size 6. I was a 10 before surgery, so seeing the changes. Couple people at work have commented on how skinny I've gotten...so strange to hear people call me skinny after being heavy most of my life. Think it's almost time to do some clothes shopping and put away the baggy pants.

Recovery has been better than I expected. I'm at the gym using the treadmill & elliptical, but still scared to get back to the strength training...next week for sure. Just scared of doing too much because I feel good. I swell more on gym days, but nothing like I was.

Sleeping is so much better! I'm pretty much on my side, even wake up on my tummy. Laying on my tummy seems to bother my boobs more than anything. Still waiting for the left to catch up to the right. Still high.

Overall no major issues or complaints at this time. Just gonna keep an eye on lefty and try out my ab muscles soon. See how it goes...
