In the photo you can see my left see appears more puffy it was like a water bed feeling. Her did a quick procedure and I am good to go. advise to all if in doubt call the PS.

I love how you have the hourglass silhouette. Do you wear any kind of garment throughout the day/night?
October 23, 2015
just the regular compression garment my doctor gave me. I am a curved girl that lost her curves and now my PS gave them back to me

Hello-
I am in the Syracuse area too. Are the ones here inexperience with TT & your PS has done more? Ball park wise; what was the cost? I have been wanting one for a few years (had 3 c-sections) but need to drum up the courage. All the photos freak me out a bit. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are doing fabulous.

I have a ouchy..

silly3mom
So it seems maybe by feeling so great after this surgery I have been to active? Last night I started feeling a sting on my incision line. Took a look to find that my incision in separating in 1/2 spot and a not scabbing by that spot each side for about a inch. The rest of my incision is healing nicely so I am bummed. I will be calling the ps first thing tomorrow to see his thoughts. But I also think I am developing a serona on my left as it is swollen up and my right side flat. I am loopsided feeling tonight. Worst case a small set back to my final result. Trying to be positive as I am delighted not to have my blubber over hang anymore.

If it is a Sedona it will feel like a bag of water and wobble.
I had a few places that came a little apart but they soon healed up with the tender loving care my ps gave me.
Changed the dressing twice a week for me and put what he called magic dressing on.
I am sure all will be fine, but you should get checked out just to put your mind at rest.
Take care
Glynis.

was it painful to have the fluid drained? That is the only part I am dreading. I am getting ready to google the procedure on youtube. Trying to mentally prepare myself.

Day 6 post op results

silly3mom
Loving myself again????????Recovery has been seemless. I also wanted to share just wanted to do lipo when I did my first consult w/ PS. He was honest that I would not have the kind of results I desired that route, the thought of such a invasive surgery scared me and a scar yuck????. My incision is so low and I don't feel like the bride of Frankenstein at all. Also I did want to share I meet several ps locally in Syracuse area where we live. But I opted with Doctor Koenig due to his credentials and the cost quoted was in line w/ several others who had no where near the depth of experience. The staff is caring concerned sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I think we could all agree exposing our flaws is not the easiest. The nurse and Doctor made me feel so at ease durning the consult. Hope these few little additional updates helps a RS stalker like j had been take the plunge.

Hello RS family. I went back to work after 2 weeks but thank God I did not have to physically go in the office I am working from home until 11/9. I am so ready to feel normal. I am 18 days post op. I take pain meds every now and then at night. For some reason I can't shake being nauseated. I stay away from high sodium, I have to make myself eat. Which I don't mind loosing a little weight. I will be so happy when I see the full result.
