I am 6 months post op and feel wonderful. I am back to allmy normal workouts and routines. The only weird side effect is the numbness I have on my abdominal area. It feels weird to lay flat on my tummy because I can't feel anything. I am 100%happy with my results and feel it has been worth it. Especially this summer sporting my bikini. I'm thrilled!!

you look awesome, i am going in for mine in two days!
You are probably really nervouse and have a mixture of emotions right now, the unknown is scarey. You will be fine an do great, the first 3-4 days are the worst and it all gets batter from there. Each day is better and better as you see your new body as the reward. Best of luck. I am soooooo happy and soon you will be too.
Your incision was done perfectly low...your doctor definitely has skills. You look great.
Thank you. Did you have your tt done yet?
Hi I am going to see Dr Marcus soon. Your results are amazing and you have me convinced. Any advice?
I have tons of advice. Honestly, Dr Marcus is the BEST doctor in our area for TT and natural looking breasts. I wouldnt go to ANYONE else. He truly is an artist the way he sculpted my body. I couldn't be happier with my results. I feel so strong with my workouts now and beautiful sporting my bikini at the pool this summer. He made my scar so low and discreet that no one can see it in a string bikini.. The muscle repair he did makes me feel taller and tighter that I don't think I will ever have bad posture again. He sculpted my abs and I have definition and a small waist now. I have tons of advice for a successful recovery. When and if you decide, let me know and I can meet you for coffee..It's a tough decision, but you will never regret it! I don't ! This web site is wonderful and very supportive for the process of before anxiety and post recovery advice. I was happy to have so much support and learned so much from others to add to a fast recovery....! Good luck.
I had a consultation an year ago and it took me an entire year to decide. After seeing your page it made me have no doubt I am making the right decision. I think he does a great job and wouldn't consider going to anyone else. My body is worth spending more money to get the best results. The biggest thing I'm hoping for is to get my core strength back. After my third son it never returned despite hideous core workouts. I feel the strain in my back. I plan on my surgery in December so i would love to meet up closer to that time as I'm sure my questions will be stacked high. Thanks soo much!

It has been 4 weeks since surgery and i am happy to say I am glad i did it. Its the best decision i have made for myself..ever! I was scared like many of us who joined this web site, but with all the support and guidance from everyone i can say it was a sucess and worth it. I was lucky in one way to be the "last " one to go in for my TT out of the January group and was able to gather a lot from everyones posts.
Here are the things i couldnt live without the first week - 10 days.... A recliner was a huge help (slept in it for 2 weeks), and wedge pillows for under your knees and to elevate your back ( once you are ready to get in your bed), a toilet seat riser so you didnt have to bend down far to sit and a walker( only need that the first week, but a huge help), herbal water pills for the bloating and swelling and bromoline. All of these items were advised by so many of the girls that with my anxiety waiting my turn i decided to get these supplies just in case, and thank god i did. My mom stayed with us for 2 week to help husband with the girls 3,6 and of corse me. Thank goodness for my mom and husband, they were great and helped me so much.
Another huge help was staying on a low sodium diet and no sugar and flour this past month during the healing stage. From lack of exercising and from swelling from the surgery, you will feel like a stuffed sausage if you are not careful with what you eat ( I found that out the hard way after eating Himilayan food 1 week Post op..awful). It has been a huge sucess having such a clean diet and to feel so good shortly after surgery. Dont get me wrong, my energy is still low. I returned back to work at day 15 and the first week was touch i was in bed at 8 pm and each week is getting better. I just exercised for the first time and i did a great walk/lite jog and it kicked my butt! cant wait to get back to the gym, hoping next week.
I have to say I am happy with my results, I am in complete amazment with my new body and the fact I have lost 11 pounds since surgery. I havent been this small in years.. I have nothing that fits me anymore, its as if i am wearing someone elses clothes. This is fun! I can not wait to go shopping, i have gone a little and everything looks great. Im going to need a second job to afford my new shopping habit. The BEST part of this all is i can wear a bikini for the very first time in my life this summer at the age of 40! yahoo... life is good..I feel like i died and woke up in some hot chicks body! lol
