Hi Ladies!
So I went for another follow-up appt this past Wednesday and I am coming along great!
My swelling had increased for about a week due to my menstrual cycle which had even caused me to gain 5 lbs! :(
BUT, the swelling and weight gain went away once I finished my cycle. It's weird how much we bloat, isn't it?
So yeah, my belly button is much prettier now that I have been using the marble in my belly button every night while I sleep.
I will be 8 weeks post-op in a week so I'm excited about that! My PS says I can jog now, but I want to wait until I'm 8 weeks post-op to Run, and feel comfortable that my body is ready for all the movement. Lol
I tried on some of my cute clothes today so I will post the pictures... I gotta say that I really love the way my flat abdomen is starting to look and the feminine shape that it's evolving into :)
Happy Healing Dolls!!

Looking good girl! So glad your feeling good and able to walk upright now.

Do you still have the pooch? I' m 6 weeks and I still have a pooch. I hope I will be flat.

My lower pooch has decreased a lot since my first few weeks post-op. I am still swollen, but it does take 3 months for swelling to go away (sometimes longer) Its totally normal if you notice that you are flatter in the morning and than puff out later in the day. Don't worry too much as it seems like all the women who have had TT's go through much of the same swell hell and we all worry ourselves unnecessarily. Lol
Give your body time to heal And try not to over-do activities too soon, happy healing :)

Swelling is getting better

Hi Ladies!
I just wanted to post a quick update and say that my swelling has been decreasing, and I love how my hourglass figure is showing up:)
Also, I have been using a marble in my belly button and its looking more pushed in now, so I'm hopeful that it looks more like an "innie" BB soon.
I'll post more pics around month 2, happy healing everyone!

You look great... Looks so natural!

Thank you, Kym81! And yes, that's what I love about Dr. Do's work- it looks natural and he gave me a nice hourglass shape. I did blow up like a blowfish for awhile though, lol! I'm sure glad the worst of the swelling is almost over :)

you look great ... did the doc say its ok to use the marble in the bb?
August 7, 2015
You look great! Are you able to walk straight up yet?
August 7, 2015
My PS says I need to be walking upright by the 3rd week, but I am still walking slightly hunched forward. I guess it just depends on the person and how each individual feels/recovers. As for me, I still feel tension when I try to walk completely straight so I am giving myself more time to adjust, but I am dealing with more back pain because of this decision.

How are you doing? Been thinking about you!
August 14, 2015
Hi Kym81!
I have been doing great, thnx for asking :)
My BB is looking cuter everyday, it has more of an oval slimmer shape to it now. I have been walking upright this week and I am going to attempt exercising on my tread climber today. The definition of my upper/middle ABs is more apparent and overall Everything is coming along nicely. I think once I start exercising regularly again, I will feel even better. Anyway, I will be posting another picture that I took from this morning so you can see the changes.
I hope you've been well, take care!

As for the compression garment...yes, I am still wearing one, but it is not necessary for me to wear one anymore. I just really like how it makes me feel more secure, and I will probably continue wearing it for a couple more months, or until I'm tired of wearing one. Lol
I can't wait to see your results, so keep me posted!
And I'll pray for you to have a speedy recovery!
Happy Healing :))
I checked out your profile and I've been to Dr. Atun before for a minor lip augment and all I can say is that I'm glad I didn't go to him for my TT.
Compare the before/afters on their websites and you will see what I mean.
Either way good luck to you on your TT journey and I suggest getting yourself a reclining chair and a walker for post-op recovery since they helped me immensely!
I can't wait to see your after pics!
