TT and BL with 300 Implants

Thank you.. alittle down about not losing the weight but I really need to get full blown dedicated to exercising again. Workout here and there but not the same. I was around 144-148 before and now im 151-155. She tells me its the inplants..idk. cant believe its been a year can't imagine 8 :)

What is psyllium husks and acacia fiber can you use regular fiber? I stopped taking fiber powder and think I may have been bloating from that. Just taking fiber pills seems alittle better.

How are u doing with weight? Mines still up. Been running 3-4 days a week also..

Hello! Thank you.... hmmm. Would I do it all over again. Some days I say yes, other days I say no. Im still numb in my stomach. So that bothers me still. I still bloat and notice increase gas after it. I didnt consult with many PS and sometimes I wish I had. Felt comfortable with her but after having it and at checkup appts were rushed and she gave me a hard time with fixing dog ears. I sti have a small skin tag that im not happy with but after talking with husband and having a rash break after the dog ears I decided I will just deal with it :( I feel my stomach could have had better results. I think she did good with boobs and im happy with them. Scars long there are fading and I had no problems so far. I probably would do it over again but search around and interview docs. Did you have it done yet?

My MM is scheduled for 3/26. I have tormented myself with reading posts online and for some reason it's horror story after horror story. I do not have unrealistic expectations. I know it's going to hurt and I'm not going to come out with a hot body...I'm 36...3 kids...those days are gone. I just want the flabby extra skin gone and the boobs blown up to prepreganancy volume. Do you think your bloating and gas is a result of the TT?

I wasnt expecting a scar around bb, every picture I saw that my ps did you couldn't see it. So was suprised with that esp since I had broken out. Im def happy without the skin but I get discouraged because I weigh more after tummy tuck then before. I never had the bloating and gas before surgery, but ps swears it has nothing to do with surgery. It will be a year for me in june so I havent seen my ps since January. I see her again in june. The first couple weeks are tough, very tough. Are you staying in hospital? What size implants are you going with?

It's an outpatient procedure. I'm not sure there are any PS in this area that do overnight hospital stays for this procedure. I am doing 300cc. The Dr. said that I have a lot of good breast tissue (and a lot of extra skin) and because I am having a lift, he doesn't want to go any bigger. I don't have to have enormous boobs...I just want full ones. I'm not looking for a flat tummy. I just want the flab gone. I'm positive I will never wear a bikini, have a 6 pack, or even be "skinny". I am 150lbs, 5'7" inches, and currently in about a size 8; I usually wear a size 10 in jeans just because I don't like them snug because I fear muffin top! LOL. I have read that a lot of people weigh more after a TT. I am curious if it's because of a change in eating habit? The lack of exercise due to recovery? Hormonal? Idk. I don't mind the scales as much as I mind how I feel in my clothes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I will have my boyfriend, my sister, and my 20 year old niece to help me for the first 10 days. I'm positive that if I can survive THAT, the soreness, numbness, burning, the pain, the bloating, the swelling, and so on... :)

You will do great! I stayed over night and had a pain pump every 10mins.Could not Imagine getting up that same day. i was hoping to feel confident in a bikini but im not sure I will. - but know I will feel comfortable in tankini now. I am 5'8and 154. BBefore surgery I was 144. Never got above 150 but now I cant get lower then 154. I also got 300ccs. Any questions I can help with please ask :)

Thanks. I truly am not too worried about the pain at this point. I have a pretty high tolerance and I plan on doing everything recommended, eating clean foods, and resting during the first two weeks with only enough activity to prevent blood clots, etc. I am absolutely determined to make sure that this is a positive experience. I'm not expecting fabulous when I'm released for "normal" activity. I'm expecting no flabby skin. :) Thanks for sharing and I'm sure that I will be talking to you and will need to be reminded that this is going to be a positive experience. lol

It will be a positive experience and you will feel great. You def will have a roller coster experience of emotions. I cried the second day upset I did this to myself. Second day is the wrost but after that each day gets better and better. When drains come out that is when you feel your best. Im excited for you. Do you have before pics?

I'm already an emotional roller coaster!! In the past three years, I've divorced, had 2 long distance moves, left long term employment, and now my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying a business that will require another long distance move in August, which was anticipated to be NEXT March. That is the reason I scheduled surgery for this spring; so I would have a year to recover and LITERALLY the day after I scheduled surgery things escalated and the move/business plans changed and will be happening in August! So...needless to say, there's a LOT going on in this head. But I have convinced myself that the long days of recovery will give me plenty of time to get my mind set and ready AND of course this will probably get me out of a ton of work associated with moving :) I'm going to post before/after pics after the surgery. So stay tuned...

You will be up and moving fine in August. Perfect timing to do this because it wil be done for summer. I haf minr done june 7th so my summer was wasted away. Good luck with anything. I love talking to other ttuckers :) no one knows I did this so I cant talk about unless on here :)

I'm sure I will be fine by August, as long as there are no complications and I'm in very good health, never been a smoker, and have a pretty high pain tolerance. I have a big family reunion at the lake June 29th so I hope that I can be able to enjoy that without so much swelling that I'll have to wear a muumuu! I am still on the fence whether or not to let other people know about my surgery. I've told close friends and family of course and my kids. There are so many judgmental people and since I've been through a divorce recently, it seems people are even more free to talk crap. However, I'm not really one that has ever cared what other people thought about or talked about me...so who knows...I may post some before and after boob shots on Facebook! hahahaha. I'll be on the other side in just a few days and we can compare notes even more! :)

I didn't even tell my mom. She isnt local so has no idea. My kids are young and they havent seen the scars I have been able to hid it. The day after when I came home they knew I was sick bc I was throwing up and they just thought I was sick. My dad and husband are the only ones that know so not much boob talking going on there..lol. I think my boobs look the same I clothes bc I always had a huge padded lift up bra on. So now its just actually filled. Since im not super flat and still have a buldge I dont think people know. I didnt want people to ask how u paid etc. It was something that I wanted to do and hubby was on board and supportive so thats all I needed. Other people dont need to know my business. Never told friends either...lol

I can definitely see a difference in your bathing suit top picture and the shirt picture! But maybe it's subtle when you're not looking at side by side pictures. I've told friends...some that I was getting a boob job and close friends that I was doing the mommy makeover. And yes, people ask "how much is that going to cost you?!" and "WHY!? What's wrong with you now?!". I have determined people are stupid. lol. Luckily, the ones that I have told I was either willing to disclose everything or tell them "none ya biz"! I have a lot of friends and family that have had some type of cosmetic surgery. A few have tried to talk me out of it and some where excited and said I would be glad I did it. Everyone is different I guess. I'm an investigator and a talker...so I think I would blow up if I hadn't asked people that I know questions about their surgeries and be able to talk about it anytime I wanted to around the house. lol

So this is normal?? Will be like this foever?

It's normal. Don't be fool, most women that say they have a flat tummy are either sucking in thier tummy or photoshop it. Either we still have fat or our muscle RP wasn't puulled tight. The forever part, I would say yes, unless we train like a body builder.

Well thank you. . Been so discourage bc I thought I was going to be super flat after tt. Guess it's more for skin removal. ... thank you

I guess I assumed after tt wouldnt need to do that. Was expecting a super tight sexy abs...lol
