you only spent $4600? who was your doctor and where did you get it performed at? ah and when can i sign up?? you're pictures look like they did a great job especially with your belly button! i'm looking to get a TT because i have sagging skin and excess skin! no matter how much i work out it won't go away! do they also have payments plans or was it all needing to be paid upfront?

I'll be 6 weeks on Monday. Still going through the motions of recovery but am feeling pretty good. Went back to the gym, low impact exercise only. Trying to ease my way back into it. Can't wait to go back full force, planning on hiring a trainer in march; scheduled for a vacation in Miami in April and want to look as close to my best as possible!

You look really good in such a short time. You will continue to notice changes month after month as the swelling goes down. Go slow on the full force exercise because that can also cause swelling. You do not want to destroy all of the good work that was done to your tummy.

Hey Kimmers you're absolutely right, I've been trying to listen to my body. I've noticed more swelling over the last week. I went back to the gym on sat and then i went again on Sunday. I went slow but decided to take today off.
My incision isn't healing as well as I had hoped. I'm having a little drainage but my ps says it's normal. I go back and see him Wed.
I still don't fit into my jeans comfortabley :(
I hate the swelling, feels like it will never end! When should I start expecting to see less swelling?

I started to really notice changes at about 10-12 weeks. I know that sounds like a long time but it will go fast.
The more you push it the longer it will take to heal.

I'll be 4 weeks on Monday, Jan 17 and it feels...
i'll be 4 weeks on Monday, Jan 17 and it feels like i've been recovering FOREVER. i'm still sore and very uncomfortable some days more then others. My tummy is still numb and a little swollen and i get little burning pains kind of like a sting every now and then. this week has been rough, i noticed there was an orange/clear fluid leaking from my incision and freaked out. I went to see my ps and he looked at it, said it was fine and not to worry. I thought i might have torn, ripped, stretched something lol I take the train to work and ran in my heels to make the train and as soon as i got on i felt some pain =/ but my ps reassured me i was fine.
I hate that i'm still so uncomfortable and not even close to feeling back to normal...the recovery period has been a much longer process then i thought it would be.

I love your hour glass shape! You look awesome girl.
The recovery is long and hard but you will get there. Hang on and know that spring is right around the corner.

Nayeli,
I had a mommy makeover to get my body back the way it was before I had kids. (I have 3 kids). I had it done 3 days after you. This weekend will be a month for me.
You look really fit. I can tell you that even though you had a TT you were already working out. It really does show:)
When will you start working out again? I am taking it slow. Watching what I eat though I do fall off the wagon aswell!

Hi! Yea I've been on a pretty consistent work out regimen for the last cpl years. I was in a cardio-kb class for about a year and a half and I absolutely loved it! I read you also work out; that's great! You look amazing and your boobies, wowzers! I'm even a little jealous that you don't have any stretch marks! I love everything about my TT, the one and only thing is those darn remaining stretch marks (hard to see them in the pics but in person you can def see them). I had two options, low incision with stretch marks or high and longer incision with fewer stretch marks. The thought of a higher incision worried me so I opted for the low incision, right above my pubic area, very low and clean.
I saw my ps yesterday and he said I could go back to doing low impact excercise, bicycle, elliptical etc. So i'm going to give it a try this evening and see how it goes!
Best of luck and keep me posted on your progress :)

Hang tough girl!! It will get better and better each week. You know why you did this!!
WOW you had the works! Well that is going to take a bit longer to heal.
You will get there but it just tkes time. My doctor told me that I would continue to heal for a year.
