Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction Oct 18th.... Can't Believe It's Finally Happening! - Manitoba, MB

Wow almost 4 weeks post op!! I'm feeling ok ... Although my breast incisions are starting to feel more noticeable, especially with sleeping in my bed. I was getting quite discouraged with my lower tummy because I really questioned if it was just swelling or still fat in that area. Today was the first day where it seemed like it must have been at least a bit of swelling because my tummy totally looked smaller! When I was at my ps's two weeks ago he had said if it doesn't go away then their are other options we could look at, I'm not sure whet that means but I plan to this Thur at my appt. I didn't get any lipo, which I had totally thought I needed but my ps disagreed with me. Slowly... Very slowly my energy is coming back to me :) today I went for a 3.5 mile walk because it was a beautiful day!! (Only -5c). I can't wait to start running and crossfit again but for now I'm learning that patience is a virtue!!!

Thought I should post a few new pictures!

Wow, can't believe it's almost been two weeks!! Feeling pretty good... My belly button is slightly infected. Dr wasn't concerned... I saw him today and he said to apply polysporin and watch it. I like how everything looks except to below my belly button... I still have a bit of a tummy! My dr said it's just a bit of swelling but I don't think so... I'm really not too swollen. It is definitely better than I was... Especially upper abs!! He said my ab muscles were 6 inches apart!! I actually have a waste line!! And my breasts are soo much smaller and perkier!! Yesterday I had my first emotional day... Mainly from my lack of being able to workout and be active and also dwelling on having hone through all of this pain just to still have a tummy!! My TT cost was soooo cheap though, because the BR was paid for my insurance, that I feel like I shouldn't make a big dal out of it!! My dr is such a nice guy and assured me that if 'the ridge' is still there in a few months, there are some options to get rid of it... He didn't go into specifics though. I'm crossing everything that it goes on its own!!!

Ok.... Here it is.... First post of a post op picture! Definitely not the prettiest!!! Still have the drainage tubes and quite swollen! Hopefully today I get all the bandages off my breasts abs then I can see them too!! I have my first post op today!! I'm praying they take these drains out!! Can not wait to shower!!!
