2 years PO and still feeling fab
WORTH IT$7,700
Hello ladies it's been a minute since I checked in. But everything went well with my surgery. I'm still flat, no drama afterwards. Just left with some ugly scars but I'm a keloider.they are lie and can't see them unless I want you to. So it's too be expected. Other than the swelling which only seems to happen more or less after drinking alcohol I'd say I'm pretty good. I'm enjoying this body. I sometimes think of what's next. I'm so thankfil for this site. Everyone was so informative and helpful.
I've posted bikini pics although I haven't worn them outside they are my motivation pieces. I check in from time to time and look around to see what's everyone up too. I'm super proud of the ladies you decided to invest in themselves. Keep up the good work

Hello everyone. 7 weeks PO and went back to work...
Hello everyone. 7 weeks PO and went back to work over the weekend. Not that bad except I really missed having my naps during the day while I was off. 2 10hr days but I made it through. I had one instance where I went to lift a door open and I felt a pain run through my stomach. I quickly sat down and didn't move for a couple hours. Other than the tiredness I was ok.
I am healing rather well scar is getting better. The incision that I had a couple weeks ago is healing well also. I am pretty happy with my results. I Have some dog ears I am a little concerned about. I head ladies talking about removing them but I don't know if I can handle anymore of this. Yet I will where this body at least until next year and see how things turn out.
Everyone keeps asking did i get my boobs done too. Girls these puppies are sitting up under my chin since the surgery. So this surgery has great benefits. :) Still not ready for the bikini but who know still going to wait at least 2 to 3 months and see what happens. I have seen some girls at 6 months and they look fab. So I know I have to wait the time at least to get over the swelling. YES THE SWELLING. EWWW.
Still working on my eating habits. That's the hardest part. but all in all its great. Just wanted to check in.

Thank you for the update! You are doing well so just keep your chin up and you will finish this journey. Going back to work was also hard for me! It tool me about two weeks to adjust to the new schedule and movement.
Keep using the firm massage technique on the dog ears. This will help them a bit. Forget about those for now and just focus on the healing.
Hugs

hey kimmer thanks but what is the firm massage technique on the dog ears. what am i suppose to do. do i need to purchase anything.

Just basically taking three fingers and massaging the entire incision in a firm circular motion. Break down that scar tissue. I like the Palmer's or Bio Oil the best.

I look at your before pics and see the old me. I need to be patient. I hope to look as good as you do in your 6 week pics. Focus on healing. Take things as slow as you can. Happy healing!!

Hello TTkrs. The past week has been quite...
hello TTkrs. The past week has been quite overwhelming. I had to return back to the doctor because i had my incision open up and it was leaking. My doctor had to go back in and slit one of my sutures which left a open 1/2in wound. So I am now healing well. I even stood up all the way straight afterwards. whooo hooo. Work doctor not releasing me to work yet due to the wound opening. Finacially its a hard hit but mentally i can use the rest.
I updated the pixs i am currently 6 weeks PO. and feeling great. I can now see things are starting to shape up. No regrets.

U look good.... It's crazy cause u just never know how much recovery time u actually need with a tt. Thts why why I took a whole 6 weeks off, I'm pretty sure my job is like... "the neve I me"! Just stay positive and it shd only go up from here.

Girl I know. My doctor originally told me i should only require 4 weeks. I told him I was going to take 6. and now I have to take 4 more with the new incision. So now I up to 10 weeks with this. But all in all they (my job) would rather be 100% and not 80% when I do return to work. I tell people who inquire "Listen to your body". thanks for the shout diva.
