Well everything is feeling better but wouldn't say 100% yet :/ what a recovery process... But totally worth it. Started back working out... Kinda lets just say treadmill and bike.. 3.5 miles at an easy pace. I'm back in some pre surgery clothes, still wearing my silicone tape, actually driving to Okc for my last appointment. I will share tomorrow on what is said :)))

I have a couple more questions for you. :-) Did you get lipo too? And how far apart were your consultation and procedure? I've already set a consult date for January 6th and if I go with him I have to plan out my vacation days at work. Thank you for your info!

It gets better everyday!! I'm super excited about my progress, I am almost standing straight up, sleeping in my bed, and moving around at a normal pace. My scar is healing nicely, scabs are coming off softly, and itching is minimal. I continue to wear my binder, but finding myself talking it off more..need to invest in some spanx :) swelling is still there :/ cannot still fit in pre surgery jeans :( my ps doesn't want anything tight around my incision so it doesn't rub, I can handle a couple of weeks more. Well happy healing y'all!

You look great girl! Did you take your tape off? I am so confused with the tape. I saw my ps at 2wpo and they put new tape on. Then never told me what to do with it! And said I don't need to go back until week 12 ! Wtheck! Anyways. You look fab! Im at 3 weeks today and starting to feel a little more normal each day. Are you so happy to wear shirts without that muffin top stuff, this tt experience thing is so exciting, can't wait for the final results! Take is easy!

I took original tape off at 2 1/2 weeks then put silicone tape on, I wear that 12 hours a day. It suppose to last up to 3 months. Absolutely excited for no muffin top :) but hate the swelling :( still haven't gotten into pre surgery jeans!! happy healing ;))

You're kidding! I'm 5'4 and 163! That makes me feel good! I'm hoping to lose a few more before surgery but I'm thrilled that we are so similar in size since your results are amazing! :)
