9 Month Post Op Review and Update
WORTH IT$8,000
I can finally say I am back to 100%. I don't even remember that I had a TT most of the time. I still have not exercised one bit.... it's on the list....LMAO! I'm so happy I had this surgery, it is absolutely the best thing I have done for myself. I feel so sexy!! I scar is a lot to handle, but I'm finding after 9 months its actually doing decent. I wish I would have been more diligent on scar therapy but it's such a pain in the ass. I would recommend wearing scar strips for 3 months straight. I wore them for a week off for 3 weeks wore for a week...I just hated them but wish I would have sucked it up. I have attached pictures, just need to do some squats for my butt and I should be good to go!

6 Month Update And Dog Ear Update
Well ladies, I am now at 7 months and the pictures I'm posting are from 6 month. I will post more pictures later. There isn't really anything different to tell you. The swelling is about the same. I have gained some weight back in the past month, went on two week vacation and Thanksgiving. I will get back into the groove soon. But the big thing to tell you is I had my Dog ear fixed this past Monday (you can see it in the picture attached on the left side). It really was not a big deal, it took about an hour, start to finish. I layed on my side so he could get to it better and that seemed to really help him. The shot to numb me stung a bit, but not bad at all, and all I could feel during the surgery was him tugging on me. He put three layers of stitches in it, all dissolve in about 4 months. I couldn't shower for 24 hours and he has me covered with tape for a couple weeks at which I will go back to see him. He offered me pain pills, I declined, and wish I would have. Tylenol did work and I did need it the following day. The following day I was sore but it wasn't bad at all. Today, I feel pretty much back to normal but still can't lay on that side. Hope this helps others. Still thinking about that boob job. :)

Your pics are giving me hope for myself! Im 5 weeks post op and swelling pretty decently, it feels like fat has returned but I don't think that's possible. Your 6 month pics look AMAZING! you must be thrilled....I am still in the binders and searching for a good compression garment I found one at Dillards its like a stronger version of spanx, I like you cant really do the "pee through the hole" trick either so can you tell me the brands of CG that you used. thanks sooo much! Seriously you are looking GREAT!!!!

Hi Happywife, I bought 1 CG from Leonisa it was kind of expensive so I only bought one. The rest I got from Kohls. And they worked perfectly. I wore them I think for about 3 months, and then noticed that I would swell more when I did wear them as to not wearing them, but definitely feel they helped shape me. I think there is even a picture of the CG I wore the most from Kohls. :) Happy to answer any questions you may have. Just keep the faith, I promise it gets better!

You look great!!! Definitely do the boob job, its pretty painless and nothing compared to the TT:) Your PS did a great job!

I'm seriously considering it. I don't want to be much bigger, I would just like them to be where they are supposed to be....LOL. You are so right, I figured I started with the worst surgery there was, so anything else will be a breeze! Thanks for your kind comments. I went to your page and agree, we should all pay it forward. :)

5 Month Update-SWELLING
Forgot to tell you about swelling. I do still swell but I finally feel that it's not near as bad as it was at 4 months...If I eat anything...really....it doesn't matter I do still swell, but it is better. The swelling is starting later and later in the day...different from the moment you wake up and start swelling....so ladies.....IT DOES GET BETTER, it just takes forever!!!

Looking great. Well done. I also have the tingling feeling and scars so itchy. Still using bio oil daily. I do swell late in the day. I love the mornings as I am at my flattest, finding it hard to lose weight and would love to drop 5 kg

Thanks so much for giving us some forward looking inspiration. you look amazing and, as someone who is also 'between boyfriends' and worries about the scar with a new partner, I think you look so great, that the scar would be the last thing on his mind! Good luck with the boobs, you'd be stunning then!

Thank you for posting. I think you look fantastic. And btw while I would never discourage a person from doing whatever they want to their own body...and not trying to be creepy...your boobs looked great too. I hope you walk proud.

LOL, thanks Katymary...I just want them to be where they once were, not bigger just higher. :)
