Finally I've turned a corner and am feeling so much better. I had PMS for a week and that was truly awful, but I got my period on time and have felt like I'm on the incline ever since.
I started the embrace and it's okay so far. More on that later....

I just went through what you did!! Mine was on 10/4. I bruised like you did, looking like someone beat the hell out of me. How old are you? You look beautiful!! I'm 56 & the healing is much slower. I'm having Endermology txs. I have 7 left. Pure tortue!!!! Post some more amazing pics!

Finally the swelling is going down enough for me to wear some clothes that I couldn't wear pre op! Feels great! Also, I'm down 5lbs from pre op weight! Still very swollen, but this is an encouraging day!

You look amazing, quick question how is the skin above the belly button when you bend ? Just curious because i am considering a mini too instead of a full TT.

Thank you! My PS did repair over the bb and it looks great. He floated my belly bb down about an inch, barely noticeable, but everything is nice and tight above that area.

No more drain, but total swell hell

Got the stupid drain out, finally! It did NOT hurt but felt really weird. I am really dealing with swelling, which is no surprise after researching people's experiences here on Realself. It is super uncomfortable, but each day is better. The bruising is still apparent too, but I'm very fair skinned so that makes it worse.

I wore jeans for the first time post op today and there was zero overhang. Weird to have jeans fit so well and that's with all the swelling, I can't wait for the swelling to subside. Patience......

You look amazing--even with the swelling. I bet you'll have visible abs when the swelling subsides :)

How is the skin above the belly button, do you have pooch when you bend over , just curious because I am considering a mini tt instead of a full tummy tuck.
