6 Week Post-TT update
It's been 6 weeks now and I'm happy to be back in the gym. Taking it easy and working my way back into my pre-op routine gradually. They say not to weigh for awhile, and if you really care a lot about that number, I would recommend holding off. However, I can definitely tell a difference in the way my clothes fit, even with residual swelling. My scar has lowered quite a bit and I'm way less numb than before. Had a bit of a concern with spitting a stitch, but apparently it's quite common and it's resolving quickly. I'll post some pics from today then I plan to go back and post some pre-op photos to compare!

Week 3 update
Healing is going well. The swelling and numbness continue, as well as tightness upon standing. Ready for the weeks to pass so I can hit the gym again. I'm trying to walk at least 3 miles daily and can do so without issues.

I applaud your ambition to walk so much already. Looking good. Did you have a lot belly fat prior to TT? I have a lot of tummy fat and am second guessing the plan to do the TT and only Lipo the flanks, thighs (inner/outer), and knees. Am going to discuss w/doctor my thoughts about doing total lipo of all areas, including tummy, then coming in for TT after the lipo has healed. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery! You might end up being pleased with the results of the TT with lipo to only the areas you mentioned. My surgeon always performs lipo for contouring, and so far I'm pleased with the TT and minimal lipo. I'm still experiencing some swelling and have lost some muscle tone from not being able to weight train or do my normal gym routine, but once I can get back on track, the results will finally begin to show and I'm super excited!! In answer to the question about having a lot of belly fat, I would have to say that while the amount of fat was significant on my build, a lot of my issue was loose skin and there wasn't much fat removed during lipo. You and your surgeon will come to the right decision for what's best for you. I wish you a lot of luck! Post an update after Thursday
