3 Week Update

Good morning ladies!
It's been three weeks today since I've had my surgery and I can't believe how fast the time is approaching....especially for an impatient person like me. As you all know I was unable to have me drain removed since I was doing "THE MOST" thinking I was good and had my bubble bust when told my cc's were too high....I learned my lesson that time and as I'm scheduled to return to another follow-up tomorrow to evaluate my drain being taken out. I've been doing very well and not going hard in the paint...lol...I'm confident it's being removed. I'd like to thank jerzeejewel with the fantastic website I plan on purchasing my CG from www.designveronique.com. Girl, you are so right they have everything but I still need to get a measuring tape so I order the right size. I'm a thick girl and the last thing I want to do is order the wrong size. I have to thank ALL of the "realself divas" for all of your support and encouraging words. It's been therapeautic for me to vent and talk about what I've been going through and seeing my transformation. I'm posting new pics. Oh, I can't seem to Vitamin E Oil anywhere which is odd cause I could find it when I don't need it but now that I do I can' find them anywhere. Do you ladies have any suggestions on what scar therapy seems to work? Mederma? has that worked for anyone? I'll keep you posted on my follow-up visit tomorrow and hopefully with good news! Chao my divas and happy healing to all of you and for those with upcoming surgeries....abrazos y besos (hugs and kisses) !!

Looking good!! I switch off between Mederma (which is all I used last year when I had my BA and you can hardly see those scars!), Bio oil and Cocoa butter oil. I also have Vitamin E cream...I figure it can't hurt to use them all (lol)!

So MD mom, I truly appreciate your kindness! It means alot when you hear how nice you look when I've fell into such a DEEP depression and couldn't see or find my way out so I thank you from the bottom of my heart;)

Get out of that funk woman ... I was in it too the first week (the meds messed me up) ... but as the weeks went by, I felt better and better. I hope you are feeling better, you have a lot to look forward to! And you know Dr. T is the best at what he does :) I'm here if you need to vent!!
June 5, 2013
lol....okaaay! don't fight me....know but seriously I am feeling and getting much better. The depression was before the surgery and I've slowly crawled out...you never lied Dr. T is definitely the best! I may have a secret crush on him....JK!

Hey there fellow Dr T patient! I'm going to Annapolis today for my 8 week checkup. I love when he's in that office since its closer for me than driving to Rockville!! I know how you feel about that drain-I was so disappointed when I didn't get mine out at my first week appointment...but trust me, when that's gone, you'll feel 100% better from that alone! Hope the healing is getting better for you, it does improve! Have a great weekend :)

Hey So MD mom, Thank you for encouraging me I was acting like a complete baby....lol....I've got to learn patience something the Lord has tirelessly been working on with me for eons....I wish you well @ your follow-up and I'll definitely remember your words when I finally get my drain out:) Enjoy your weekend name and be safe!
