WORTH IT$8,500
Today was my (almost) 4 week p.o. check up. Everything is coming along well. Of course there is some swelling. I've posted some before and 4 wk. p.o. pictures... I guess for 61 it's not too bad. The Dr. told me to try to reduce my salt intake. I love salty things, but I will try.

It's 20 days p.o. today. Things are coming a long nicely. My tummy is looking good, still a little swollen, but not too bad. Had an emergency with my 94 year old mother yesterday, and today I'm wiped out ! I'll be taking a nap today, for sure. Discomfort is minimal, and of course still wearing my binder 24/7.

She's in some pain, but considering she's 94, she's doing pretty well ! Thanks, Jhowell! It's a relief for me. I'm exhausted today. I think it took more out of me than I realized.

Stupid me, I didn't take any before pic's. When I go to my next appointment I'm going to ask my p.s. if he can email my before pictures...!

Went for a Dr. visit today 16 days p.o. Everything looks good. Dr. took my last couple of stitches out of my bb. Didn't feel a thing. No gauze, no more antibiotic cream, nothing. He put some new steri-strips strips on my incision (which I think looks really good) and said when they fall off, that's it. At 1 month p.o. we'll start with the silicone strips, which he said are reusable ????? Anyone know anything about that? I asked if I could go in the pool (my daughter is visiting tomorrow) and got the green light to get wet, but he said to rinse off in a shower when I get out to get the chlorine off. So far so good... Forgot to ask about these daily headaches. Maybe I'll call. Next appt. is in 2 weeks.

So happy to hear you're doing well!! You'll have to take some new pics of you in your bathsuit.

Thankyou! Your blog has been a help to me because I am 60 and needed to find someone who I could really relate to. Hope I do as well as you have done.

Hi there Mollyata - I just turned 51 so yes you can do it and deserve it! do it for you : )

I hope so. I am scared and go back and forth about having it done. I am also having breast lift and implants done at the same time. My concern is the healing time. I need to be well enough to travel in January out of the country. The 'drain'(s) worry me. I've read alot of the stories here and its been a help really. I'm 60 and its been good to read Doylestown's blog due to our age. Everyone on this site has been so supportive. It truly is needed. Thank you!

Yes, our age does set us apart and I am encouraged to read blogs from the 'mature' ladies on here. Thanks for taking the time to add your experience so women our age can identity.

What a day/night!!! I got a call last night, my 94 year old mother fell and was taken to the ER. It's about an hour away. She's got 3 broken ribs and a broken nose ;-(
I know it has nothing to do with TT's but I had to share...
