After years ago of struggling with weight. I am now semi stable consistent up-and-down five or 10 pounds but but thankfully holding at 175 . After years of debating on getting a TT/ TrunkLift. I will try posts update pictures weekly - I had TT with Lipo of chest in flanks. I'm only two days. Haven't had much real pain like i was expecting just extremely tight. after removing that compression garment the tightness seems to overcome me. I was approved to get in the shower the day after which was an over coming situation i don't plan to do that for a few days. I am doing better and better each day today I was able to get out of the bed on my own. I also made some oatmeal and started that dish washer, it was already loaded so I really did was push start lol. My friends and Doc both say most of what you see in the pictures is swelling. I'm feeling hopeful

I feel ok as for pain my tattoo gave more concerned
I hope the drain will come out next week I only have one. It's not pulling much fluid at this point it's more in the way. I'm extremely swollen though even my hips I can't fit any of my jeans

Oh boy... I'm sure it will only get better. Your what 12 days post op?
I have a tattoo on my chest.. I'm. Sure it will be pulled down some once the excess skin and fat is removed.
I'm 12 day away.. Uhg.
How your mobility?
I hope I can go back to work quickly. And at least cardio st the gym.
Getting a hospital bed delivered to the house. Heard this helps.
Where you nervous prior... I guess, who wouldn't be.
Thanks!

Yeah the swelling lasts a long time sometimes up to 6 months I hear! But it sounds like you're doing unbelievably well! And you look fantastic! Hard parts over it only gets better!!

Where did you order that compression garment.
I need a front zip like that.
Does it also wear like boxer briefs at the bottom?
How long till you were up and moving after the surgery?
Thanks again!

I got the garment from a store recommended by my PS. I just order a smaller one from Amazon tho. No, it's just like a tank-top. I was using the next day slowly but moving lol. After the 1st week was I much better.

So I think the worst part was a dream removal I had it in for 18 days. I can't describe The sensation I felt as the physician pulled the drain not painful but weird. Now the tape removal was painful only because it was stuck to some of my pubic hair ugh

Looking forward to getting these out. 18 days is a long time.
Was the site sore afterwards?

Tape removal is something else. I described the drain removal like a scene from the movie Alien...when the guy watched the thing move around his stomach and then bust out...but no pain. Just weird.
