4 weeks PO.!

WORTH IT$3,700
It's been almost a month since my TT and MR and I'm still feeling good. Muscles still spasm. But everyday it gets better. I fee like I have slightly more swelling on my left side then my right side it can be from the flank lipo perhaps but it's not really bad. I still have months for the complete swelling to be gone. I'm hoping to book my 3 month PO appt for early July so we shall see how that goes! Otherwise al is well. My stitches seem to be healing better. I e been using Manuka honey on my j vision to help the healing process. Which seems to be working so then I can start scar therapy. I shall keep you all posted!! Xoxo

A little over 3 weeks PO

So since my TT all has been well. I'm moving around great, walking, driving the normal mom stuff. My incision on the left side has been a little more weepy and looks to have small openings. PS office told me it was stitch abscess.. they informed me was normal. Lots of TT patients also confirmed to me it's happened to them and healed just fine so that's a huge sigh of relief. Muscles are still tender and spasm here and there, mostly at night when I'm settled down. Coughing and sneezing isn't so bad anymore. I can still feel it in my muscles but it's completely bearable. I'm still ecstatic about my results and can't wait til I have a green light for the gym! I'm trying to have JLo abs! Hahaha. Happy healing ladies!! Xoxo

So it was only $3700 drive out?
I don't understand what you mean?
Was 3700 your total cost out of pocket?
My cost only for the procedure. And of course Bc of the mix up with Images Center, I decided to go with Dr Alvarez private practice and Bc of my inconvenience they honored my pricing I had originally had with images

2nd Post Op appt

So I had my 2nd post op appt yesterday with Lena. Both drains came out!! Very exciting not to mention relieving!! I can finally pee without a struggle! Lol. I keep forgetting they're gone and am still wary when sitting down and have to remind myself they're not there. Lol. It's a great feeling!! They did not hurt coming out one bit! It felt weird. Like a worm inside your belly. Haha. But it's nice to be able to finally try on my clothes and wear jeans (that can fit). Feeling great still no pain just sore muscles. I had to sneeze last night and held it out of fear of muscle strain again! That's the worst part! Otherwise everything is going great! I fly back home to Mass Sunday morning. Can't wait to see my babies! Doc said I should come back at 3, 6 & 12 months to follow up with him. I shall keep you posted! Xoxo
