Post Op 1 Month
WORTH IT$9,600
Life is almost back to normal. I do have frequent reminders that I am only one month out from surgery. I immediately slow down and watch what I am doing.
I know that I will be dealing with swelling for a long time, but what I see in the morning is exciting. I am hoping that is what my final result will look like, 24/7.
Still no exercise, light weights on the arms. Walking is much easier, as is sneezing, coughing, blowing my nose and laughing. My sides and back are regaining feeling. Incision line still feels very hard, but healing nicely. My vertical scar is extremely light. I don't mind it at all. It does indent though, between my bb and the beginning of the vertical. LOVE my bb. It is so nice to sit and not see this mound of stomach under my boobs. Personally, this is the best thing I have done for me in a long time!
* I have included my new compression garment. Had to drop down to a medium (8-10). My other one wasn't offering enough support anymore. Yay!!

Post Op Day 19
Still swelling by evening. Can't wait to get permission to get my full body compression garment removed. The zippers dig into my sides at times. Over did it over the weekend, so I am very sore . . . but, resting to try to make up for it. In all of my pics I, have binder marks on my stomach. I can't wait to take one down the road without any! Hope everyone is healing well.

Thank you for all of your post. You look amazing. I am scheduled for August 15, 2014 for TT and BA (no lipo) and my doctor says no CG. not sure what to think of that?

Having trouble getting a post surgery bra. My PA office said to get No Seam/cup to be firm and shaped. I am having a problem finding. Any thoughts?

Hi cbsavona! I have seen mixed reviews on here about doctors using and not using a compression garment. Mine can be somewhat uncomfortable, but the support it offers is worth the pain. I would talk to your doctor about your concerns. As far as a bra, some sports bras have cups and are definitely seamless. Not sure though as I did not have my breast done. You will be great and love your results, I know! Let the countdown begin!! :)

Looks like you're progressing well. Ya, getting the CG off, or at least graduating to a Spanx-type shaper feels so good, hope that comes soon for you. You're looking great, hang in there. :-DSuzy
