WORTH IT$6,000
Hello all my tt friends ;) just a quick update. I start my weight training tomorrow which I'm really excited about and scared at the same time. Just don't want to hurt myself in anyway. I'm feeling really good I'm 83 days today. Went to the doctors last Wednesday due to swelling getting worse. My doctor told me I did have some fluid build up but he couldn't drain cause it wasn't all in a pocket (one area) its like the fluid is all in my hips and lower back area. Its like just spreaded all out ... hope you understand what I'm trying to say. He told me to walk, walk and more walk and it will go away ;) other then the swelling I'm doing really good on my end and I wish you all the best in your recovery and to all the up coming tt I wish you the best. I will post new photos sometime this week. Deb

Hello all my tt friends ;) just a quick update .... I'm doing great on my end. I stopped wearing any kind of binder/garment on Jan. 1st and feeling fine. Some swelling at times but I wanted to let my body just be ;) tummy still feels tight belly button healing very well scar/incision looks great doing scar gel 4 times a day and just moving right along. Haven't started back working out yet ... start back on the 24th at a new gym going to be weight training 3 days a week and Feb. 1st going back to Curves 3 days a week ;) I'm hoping with working out 6 days I will begin to loose the swelling/fluid I'm still holding on too ;) hope everyone is moving right along and enjoying the new YOU ... Deb

Hey deb, muffintop4 here:) I was wondering how long in the very beginning did it take you to not be in too much pain so that you could just take Tylenol or something not as strong as the pain pulls from the doctor. This surgery is a lot more pain than I anticipated. I just want to get to the point of not having to take the pain meds.
I'm glad to hear that you are doin so well it gives me a lot of hope knowing of other peoples success. I know that I need to be patient and I am but the pain level needs to go down. Talk at ya soon:)

Good Morning Muffintop ;) sweetie read your post that you wrote as soon as I got up ... not sure what all meds ps has you on, but I took every last one of them that he gave me ... all 3 bottles was empty .. if I remember right the pain meds was every 4 hours and I took them every 4 hours made me just sleep and forget just about everything around me but sweetie its what you need for pain right now and plus the sleep its what your body needs right now ;) I did feel bad about sleeping all the time not being there for family but it was much better in the end after all pain meds was gone ;) after all pain meds was taken it was like 2 weeks post op I started taken tylonel pm and I only took them for 4 days twice a day and after that just took regular strength tylonel when I felt uncomfortable ;) the first week is the worst honey just trying to get use to the pain the tightness of the tummy etc.... just make sure to take your pain meds on time hubby set his alarm on his cell phone and woke me up every 4 hours even if I was asleep to keep me on top of them ;) and trust me at the end it worked out made me less uncomfortable and when they was all gone I felt so much better all rested up etc.... sweetiie you message me anytime I always have my cell phone on me so I can reply to you if you have any questions ;) I know exactly how you are feeling I can remember the first week so well ... I think my best week was week 3 if that helps ... xoxo

Thanks deb! My husband has been great. He has been doing the same thing with his phone and setting his alarm to go off so I can stay on top of the meds as well. I'm so glad that he is taking this next week off so he can take care of me. I just wasn't exspecting this to be as painful as it is. I thought I had a high pain tolerance but maybe not. I'm just taking it easy nothin else I can do so here I stay. I did get my hair washed this morning which felt good. Later I'm going to attempt a shower. Thanks for you advice and I will for sure keel in touch:)

This surgery . It is the most painful procedure to have done and I cried like a baby for the first couple days . Totally normal!

muffintop4 - you should tell your dr about your pain level. Maybe he/she can switch your meds. You shouldn't be in that much pain.

Thanks klewis:) I am doing a little better with each passing day. I just didn't exspect it to be this intense. But I'm also only 3 days post op so I'm hoping these next couple of day do get better. If it doesn't get better I am for sure giving my dr. A call.

No need to suffer if you don't have to. Be sure to take your meds every 4 hrs. Set a timer if you have to.

Glad to hear that you are doing so well. Are you still having your swelling issue with your pants being 2 sizes bigger? Or is that getting better? Your pics look great. I'm going to post more pics in the next day or two. I'm post op 19 days so maybe I will at my 3 week mark.
