Four weeks and a few setbacks
WORTH IT$7,500
Hi ladies, the last week has been tough. Seratoma drained twice, then a possible hematoma. I've really limited my time being up to a few hours a day to help with swelling. I'm doing all that I can to avoid future aspirations. My bb is starting to look a bit like an outie.? Overall though, I'm happy and taking things slow and pampering myself. Massage scheduled tomorrow!

3 weeks post op
I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just started wearing cg and it makes a big difference. I couldn't figure out what is different with lower back-but I think the swelling has settled there right now.

Hi! You look great! I have a question for you. I'm one week post op and my husband wants to go to Vegas for a long weekend over President's Day weekend. I'll be at 3.5 weeks by then. I got my drains and stitches out yesterday and successfully went to the grocery store this morning. I'm obviously still very stiff but am moving pretty well, though I get very tired by the end of the day. The thought of Vegas feels overwhelming. Since you're at the 3 week mark, I thought you'd be good to ask. Do you think I'll be up for it? Or should I tell him he's crazy?

Honestly, I would definitely not be ready for that at this point. Recovery has taken longer than I expected. I can only be active and up about half a day. So, of I have plans at night, I take it easy the first half of the day. My advise is to wait. We're going to Hawaii at eight weeks. Hoping I feel at least 80% back to normal by then!!☺

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking. I keep telling him he's welcome to make it a boys trip even though it's our anniversary weekend. And I don't love Vegas.....

I'm headed to Vegas next week and I'll be 3 weeks post op. I think I'll be fine just not able to do crazy rides or long hours on my feet. You should go!

Well, who knew a birthday present could be so...
Well, who knew a birthday present could be so painful? I have an awesome surgeon and I am already happy with my results, and tomorrow will be 2 weeks. He is a perfectionist- my scar is low and my BB looks great. Can't wait to see how things look when the swelling goes down. I am so happy to have this site as it helped me choose my surgeon and I also use tips from other TT survivors!
