Thyroid Strikes again!
WORTH IT$6,950
So I have gain 17 lbs since my TT, at first I thought it was the holidays and travel. Turns out my levels were off again. Doc doubled my dosage and I'm am feeling good again. I have only lost about 5 lbs that I gained. I am going to have a revision on my scar on my hip, upper abs lipo and the one side of my pubic area that is bigger. While I'm in I'm going to have him lipo my back and arms! I figure if I can't work the weight off, I'll suck it out!

4 months out!
Oh my! It's seems like it's been forever since my TT. Right now I am in an akward stage where there is no swelling in my lower tmmy and it is amazingly flat. However, One side, just one side, of my pubic area is still swollen. How weird is that? LOL
And my upper abs are still a little swollen.
I haven gained back the weight I lost after the TT, so I really need to get my exercise routine going again.
But I am still thrilled with my results!

Compression garments are the best! I am actually going in on May 8th for a scar revision on my hip and I'm going to have my arms, and back lipo while I'm at it. I should have done it the first time!!!

Oh yes, SHAVE YOURSELF, don't let them do it with a 1980's single blade bic razor! And a hospital bed is a must if you can swing it. I got mine from a place on john barrow.

6 weeks post op
I wanted to update to let everyone know that its okay if you are not back to normal at 6 weeks. I was shocked at the muscle spasms and soreness that I had from just doing everyday things.
I have not started back to the gym yet. Just some walking and light (5lbs) weights on my arms and stretching. I am going to wait till 8 weeks to go back to Zumba. The swelling is getting better. I can now where most of my clothes, some are a little tight in the waist still. I am up in weight from 4 weeks post op by 3 lbs, but I'm still down from pre opp weight by 5 lbs.
I was a little down because it seems like all the others who had surgery in July are doing so much more. So I searched reviews and went straight to 6 weeks, I found that many felt the same way. So I just want to encourage you, It will get better and "normal" is a huge range of things!
