Well well, I've been having Internet issues. A couple of weeks ago a storm came in our area and it took out the satellite that provides our internet. I believe it's fixed now and I have some video to post, however I'm on my mobile now and do not want to eat up my data so I will st those next time I'm home.
So I am 6 weeks post op now. At 5 weeks I did a little shopping. I purchased 3 pairs of jeans in a size 5. They are getting loose already! This tickles me as in January 2012 I was a size 16. I was a size 8-10 depending on manufacturer when I went into surgery in September. I got on the scales today and I have lost 10 pounds since my September surgery date. I have not been trying to loose anymore, I started to but my husband told me to hold off going on a diet because I was still craving fruits and veggies. He felt I needed to heal more before I dieted.
I have stopped wearing my garments. At first my stomach had a lot of muscle spasms. That has gone away. Nothing too bothersome, it just felt weird. I took a low dose muscle relaxer and all was right with the world! I will keep my shape wear. I may need it again! Who knows what I'll do next! And it never hurts for a girl to have a little shape wear in her arsenal of attire anyway!
I'm feeling great!! I just keep shrinking!!! I have an appointment November 5th with a PS about my breast. It's just a consultation to see how I can get the girls back in good standing order and determine if I will need a little prosthetic help to get the round cartoon boobs I would like to have. I do not want more size or less size. They just need lifted and rounded out. This girl is dying to wear those cute tops that you can't wear a bra with!!

Well I am 11 days post op. yesterday I had my staples removed from the site I had the skin removal. My doctor provided me with my before pictures as well as a full page with 2 pictures of the skin he removed. I am mostly relying on my VLOG to document this so if your reading this you may wish to click on my youtube video and go to my chanell to get the most up to date information.
I am still at home. I sleep a LOT! So we decided it was best for me to remain off work for a few more days and when I return I will be just a little over two weeks post op. I am going to ask that my boss allow me to start out slow and work me back up to a full driving period over a few weeks time. I just think that driving a full 11+ hour shift starting out may be a bit much with the tiredness I experince. It seems that I fatigue quite fast these days and require a little more rest time. ALSO, I am the night shift driver, I drive from 5PM to 5AM and while I have been off I have had no pattern at all to my rest periods. I will be working on that however over the next few days so I can get my pattern as close to normal as I can.
Currently I have steril strips supporting the site where my staples were. I have been asked to wear these for the 5 days following the time she placed them. After those are removed I will start to wear silicone strips that are made for C-sections. I will have to apply two strips whereas someone with a C-section would use one. The reason for this is my scar goes from hip to hip.
I am wearing jeans now. Not for long periods, but for a couple of hours at a time. I have been wearing a size 8 with a belt. Size 10 with a belt in some brands. I have weeded out many pairs of jeans from my closet, and I do not have many more left in there! Sooooo... I will be doing some shopping. Another thing I am having to try on and phase out is shirts. Now that I do not have much of a stomach, many of my shirts just hang. So I will be purging many of those as well.
I really need to get back to work, being at home seems to be very expensive for me. I have discovered shop at home! I normally shop online and from books that arrive in the mail, but I am doing that PLUS watching these TV stations that are selling things! Needless to say I have completed a great portion of my Christmas shopping list! But now I need to go to work and give my credit cards a break. I swear smoke was wafting from them the other night!
Thats all I have for now. Watch my VLOG and watch here for updates. So far I am very satisfied with me results. I see my doctor again in 6 weeks and then not again until 6 months as long as things are still on track.

Thanks for your updates, that's a great account of your experience and really helpful to the rest of the community. How are you doing now? Have you seen your results developing?
I hope you've been able to get back to work and give your credit cards a break! :-)
October 18, 2012
My credit cards are doing ok now that I'm getting a paycheck again! Lol

Great video -- very informative! Thank you for being so open in sharing your experience.
October 18, 2012
You are so welcome! I hope to post some more videos this weekend. I actually have some free time!!
October 18, 2012
Hi ladies! I've been meaning to do some updates. Life has been crazy! I expect to be able to do some videos this weekend. But in the meantime...
I'm back to work. The first week was horrible! I guess when I only mentioned 100 times to my bosses and my husband that I could not come back full force it fell on deaf ears. I was set up to drive 500 miles the first day out.
The second day I was handed the wheel with over 700 miles to drive, the load was loaded incorrectly which caused the vehicle to ride like a dirt bike! That night, about 4 hours into my shift my skin busted open in two places where my staples had previously been. I took a stand and shut the rig down, took pain meds for the first time in week as well as a muscle relaxer and went to bed! The next night I did a lot better and accomplished a full shift.
The days are getting easier and easier! My results you ask.....
I'm on my way home now, and I didnt go home last weekend, so I can not give you any numbers. But.... I fit very well in my small post surgical garment, I started in a medium after surgery. None of my pants fit me. There's a fashion oops ill go into detail about later. I have no idea what size clothes I wear. I'm shopping this weekend so ill get back to you on that as well as inches lost.
As of tomorrow I will be 5 weeks post op and I have come a longggggg way. I hate my garment! I have taken small breaks from it for a few hours here and there while I sleep. Once I get up I'm glad to have it back on. I was told to wear it 6 weeks, then at my post op appointment for get staples removed I was told to wear it 6 more weeks. I have worn it religiously but I do find the need for a break here and there.
October 18, 2012
Oh my! That's a lot of work to come back to. Good for you for taking a stand.
Glad to hear you're progressing along now. :)
October 18, 2012
Oh wow, I hope you're okay after your skin split. DId you need to see a doctor or has it healed on its own? Looking forward to the updates and seeing what your new size is!
