So Ready to Be on the Flat Side - Nebo, NC

Just over two weeks post op and I'm feeling great. Still swollen and tight in my belly and upper legs. Hopefully in two weeks I will get back to my workout routine. I feel my bootay loosing it's shape.

The hair in my private area is giving me heck. It's growing and the area is still swollen... uggghhhh. My incision opened up on me a little but doc says it will heal just fine.

Other than that it has been a journey so worth it. No regrets from this chic :))

Happy healing all:)))

Here are the more pics of my journey :))))

So I ventured to the flat side on January 2nd. I love the entire team at CLC!!! They are truly amazing from start to finish.

The weeks prior to surgery I had so much nervous energy I was irritating to myself. The morning of surgery I was so stressed I had myself believing I was sick. Once I got to CLC meds were started and I relaxed. Then I realized the TT was going to be done by two different doctors. Instant panic was in my head. I just knew the incision was going to be completely uneven. The numbing process was the most painful for me but I endured just to get it over. During the TT the CLC team was awesome!!! I remembering them talking about lunch towards the end and I was thinking "huh??!! You can think about food at a time like this".... lol

I didn't post last week because the range of emotions i was feeling... happy happy... cry cry... happy cry cry.... yep that was me. I was tired of walking hunched over, the drain was annoying more than anything and I wanted to shower!!!! However, I was loving the shape. The drain was taken out on Friday which was one week post op and guess what I get to shower today :)).... I am over "hoe baths" as Dr. Hamel called them.

My recovery has not been as bad as thought it would be. The first couple of days the pains was unbearable (for me) so I was glued to my recliner with the remote. Once I started moving around I just listed to my body but I made sure I moved when I could. My heating pad and neck pillow on my lower back really helped to sooth my lower back pain. I drink plenty of water and with a little bit of lemon juice. I also try to do high protein. I had one day where I ate crap and I was in swell hell.... needless to say that will not be happening again.

Oh btw my incision looks awesome!!! I am still swollen but I love how it looks. Hopefully I will be not be swollen by spring time.

Thanks for every who has shared and happy healing to everyone!!!
