I've worked out ,weights, aerobics,yoga etc all of my adult but always had a pouch. I'd been considering a TT for a few years and had a few consults. As soon as I met with Dr Hankins,I was immediately comfortable. My sister was with me at every appointment before and after. We both felt speaking with Dr Hankin was like speaking with someone you'd known you're whole life. He spoke to both of us directly and never made my sister feel as if she was an imposition. He was never in a hurry and showed concern over every question even though I'm sure he's answered them a million times. Bambi was and is magnificent and genuinely cares. Again, never in a hurry. Susan was very sweet and although I do not remember all the names of the support staff, they are all lovely. You feel like family. You will not regret your decision to book a consult with Dr Hankins. The rest will just come naturally.

Hey everyone. Feeling great. Walking a little straighter. Sitting at desk and working for longer periods. Went back to binder. Will keep wearing it until strip and sutures are removed on Monday. I find it more convenient for swelling purposes. I don't think I mentioned before that I use an icepack almost 24/7 while sitting or laying down. It may help with swelling. I've had no swelling in pubic area, thank God. I cannot believe the difference between days 1 - 3 and now. I feel it's nothing short of a miracle. The body is an amazing creation. I drink at least 1 glass of pineapple juice a day, in addition to the vitamins mentioned earlier. Lots of water. Starting to get twinges of skin and muscle coming back to life. Drain sites healing nicely. I'm using Medihoney Wound Gel on them. Happy Healing everyone. :)

Hi cjimenez1139. Thanks for your comment. Yes I seem to be. It's 10am here in Vegas and 33 degrees already. Just came in from a 15 minute walk. As mentioned before, I am truly amazed at the healing abilities of our bodies. I still have some swelling but of course, to be expected, but all in all, I couldn't expect better. I hate being vunerable, as I'm sure all of us who go through this does, and I wouldn't purposely put myself in this position again, but I think in time, I will love the results. I'm giving myself 3 months, as advised by another lady on this site. Hopefully by then, I will at least have a glimpse of the end result. Have a great day and happy healing. :)

Glad things are going well for you! Sounds like Day 6-7 are the magic turnaround days where we start feeling like we didn't make a crazy mistake! Hope your back home soon!

LOL, yes that's about right. Day 13 today. Went to PS yesterday, Dr. Hankins, Las Vegas. He is amazing. Such a humble, caring and lovely man. My sister was with me through each appointment and she has the same opinion. His credentials are amazing. Anyway, had steristrips removed and there is a little redness. Also BB is red. Back on antibiotics for another 10 days. Going back to Calgary on Thursday but have to drop by to see him on Wed., before I leave. Walked for 30 minutes today. No problems. Standing straight although still feeling pulling in my abs. To be expected. Didn't wear binder last night. Redness looks much better this morning. Wearing spanx now. Not so convenient for going to washroom but much more comfortable. Also does not rub against incision now that it's not covered by steri strip. Take care and happy healing. :)

drains removed yesterday. Whole new world today. Feeling so much better. Swollen for sure but all good. That's to be expected after what my body has been through. Sitting up working today. Showered by myself and dried my steristrip with a blowdryer. Traded my binder for spanx, as per my PS. Had a super headache last night which I thought was weird considering the painkillers but then I remembered a comment I read on this site about the same thing. She said a cup of coffee cured it. I hadn't had a coffee in a week, so this morning I made myself one. It was amazing :) and it did the trick. Happy healing everyone.
