36 Year Old with 4 Kids, TT with Lipo to Abdomen, Flanks & Lower Back - Mokena, IL

I have officially made it to 6 weeks & loving my decision & my PS. I met with him today and he said it looks, "incredible." I couldn't agree with him more :) He cleared me for exercise and didn't give me any restrictions; so, I will listen to my body & do what is comfortable. He told me to schedule my 3 month post-op appt. where he will assess the swelling and take the after photos.

At 1 month PO, I am still faithfully wearing my binder around the clock. I have a love/hate relationship with my binder.

I forgot to mention that my period came the morning of December 2nd (the morning of my surgery) & it was all fine. So, no worries if that is your situation! I feel at 3 weeks is when I truly turned a corner. But at 4 weeks I started to sleep on my side, woke up without being hunched at all, appetite in full swing. I started keeping track of what I am eating with My Fitness Pal to ensure I am not packing on the lbs., especially after the holidays. I am starting to feel comfortable in my skin with my new stomach. I started to walk on the treadmill at a 2.5 with a 2.5 incline for 30 minutes a day. Not much, but something - at least until I see my surgeon at 6 weeks. I still have irritation near the front at my incision, however it is not half as bad as it was. I am happy with the progress of my open wound & thrilled with the results of the TT thus far. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I simply want to "pay it forward" with all the support and guidance I was given prior to my surgery :)
