WORTH IT
It's been a long journey and still walking in it! First, best decision I've made! I am currently 43 1/2 busy, 32 waist and 45 1/2 hips. Curves, thick and bust all day..lol
I don't have much aches but I still get really fatigued, stomach muscle spasms, tight pull in the belly and an occasional pain. Everything is great. Working my way into a full workout routine. No ab work until I hit the six month mark. I wear a waist clincher at least 8 hrs a day every day. Very happy.
Sorry for the short update I am a size 10-12

Quick 2 Month Update
Two months and still recovering. I'm very happy with my results but like so many others have written, the swelling is no joke! Some days are worse than others but all days there is swelling.
I wear my waist trainer that was approved by my plastic surgeon (ps) 8-12hrs a day. I have occasional pain now. My ps says tre nerves are waking up and it's normal. I find myself not being able to eat more than 5-8 ounces of food at a time. I need to drink my water but overall I'm still very happy. I think the hardest part for me is my back sometimes hurts like it did for the first three weeks for me and I still get exhausted by the afternoon!
I will upload a picture and hopefully be able to give a better update soon. First picture is with minimal swelling and the other two show my scar and what mild swelling looks like for me. When I'm really swollen, I look like I'm with child...still no regrets!

Yes it is worth it. Most of my swelling stopped in the 4th month after TT but my tummy took a year to get real flat like it was right after the surgery.
