How's your TT Journey? I had my Lipotuck (TT & Lipo) on December 17th and I am feeling Great! I haven't gone back to the Gym Yet and still wear my Binder, I don't feel comfortable without it yet. I swell slightly in mornings or in the evenings depends on what I eat. I Love Being on the Flat Side. The Best Decision I've Made. How about You?

I had mine on Dec 16. I have not done right :( I was back at work at 2 1/2 weeks and I didn't wear the Binder much. I occasionally wear a shaper girdle, but I haven't had any problems. I am with you...I love being on the flat side. I am so glad I made this decision. What is next for you?

I went back to work 3 1/2 Weeks so you weren't that bad. I am wearing a Yianna Body Shaper and also interchange with a binder. How is your scar coming along we are only one day apart? Mine has gone flat and starting to fade. I use this Scar Cream called Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment. Do it twice a day since I was 2 weeks Post Op. What scar cream or ointment are you using. I also use Strivectin Cream for Wrinkles and Stretch Marks on lower stretch marks and use Tummy Butter for top part of my belly and back to keep it soft and moist. I am planning on taking a cruise before the end of this month. I heard that the sun will darken the scar, so I am putting lots of Sun Block on the scar and cover it with tape.

Thanks for all your prayers I'm home and recovering....the last couple of weeks have been an emotional roller coaster I'm so glad it's over....my husband and kids have been nursing me back to health and I can't wait until I can put on clothes and look good...still a bunch of swelling...and I'm more depressed than ever but hopefully that will change soon :)

It's normal for ppl to feel depressed after surgery. Try to remain positive as that aids in the healing process. From the pic you posted , looks like your flat girl. Can't wait to see the progression pics. Remember pineapple and the pineapple juice helps with inflammation(swelling) walk every 2hrs for 15-20mins that will get that swelling to subside too. Glad to see you made it.
