I thank God, I did not have any complications. No infections, no seromas, no hematomas, no aspirations, no spitting stitches, no throwing up, no constipation. I still like my incision although i don't like the height of it. Its a clean cut and thin. It healed well and I haven't began to use the scar away gel a yet.
I probably can stop wearing the compression garment but I don't have a nice shape without it. My cousin swears if i keep wearing it it will mold me. I don't like what i look like without it.
I don't like the little lipo scar holes on my sides. Makes me feel like my body looks battered up.
Overall its nice to be able to wear my pants and skirts with out the muffin top, sucking in my belly or having the buttons or zipper squeezing me.
The puffiness on top of my vagina was a definite unexpected. I didn't expect that at all. I hope its swelling and goes down. it kinda looks like i might have a penis down there. not cool in body hugging skirts or gym pants.
i hope to see more of a difference at the three month mark.

almost 2 months post TT
I meet with the doctor on Monday. He say I can't have a TT over the TT I just did. We both laughed. No I can lipo it either he said. We laughed. He said I have Visceral fat and I need to lose about 20lbs. He said probably more but he'll give me 20. He also said I need to exercise and that I will see a change with the exercise as I no longer have the apron in front of me.

PS do hundreds of TTs and know the outcome of various types of patient bodies. Wouldn't it have been nice going in to have realistically known what your ps could do for you? Shame on any of them that aren't upfront.

you're right but I feel like it's my fault for expecting something different. He did say he can remove the flap and he did that. I just hope that at the 6 month mark and with some weigh loss, I'll feel like this $8000 was well spent.

I hope that your bulge goes down more for you. But you did say you noticed some improvement with a pair of pants. Thats encouraging. I know how you fell tho. I have a small bulge too. Im 24 days po. So jus beleiving its early. Take care. Hope everything works out

I think your bulge will go to flat because in the pic where you are sitting you do not have a muffin top (i still have a muffin top when I sit). Your incision looks low and clean cut, no zig zags or shakiness. you look great you'll be fine.

Stillb, thanks for the vottw of confidence for me. I hopw the the same for you too. But yea, I dont have tje muffin top. So that is diff. But I hope it works out.

Hang in there.. your beautiful! i really agree that alot is swelling.. like others said drink alot of WATER, low fat, low carb, low sodium diet.. easiest way to do that is eat mostly fresh food. canned, frozen or processed foods contain all bad stuff. I drink protein shakes and have lost 10lbs on my own.

congrats, on being able to stick with the shakes and lose 10 lbs. that's great!
