TT on March 22, 2013 So Worth It - Schenectady, NY

Here I am at 8 weeks since TT. I saw PS the day before yesterday. I am very happy. The results exceed ps's and my expectations. My belly is so flat. My waist isn't nipped in, but as a girl it was never nipped. I am considering lipo of my love handle area...although I don't have bulging love handles. My issue is the following. I am a 34/36 D bra. I have no intention of having a reduction. My size 6 jeans are now loose, so I can probably do 4. The great part is that I don't have a muffin top over my jeans as I did before TT. Depending on the cut of tops I am either a M or L...on occaision XL due to bust size. I suppose this is a nice problem to have. I will have to bring clothes to the seamstress or tailor for a good fit. My daughter is getting married in October. Bridal tends to run small. I had to order a 16 for chest fit. Waist and Hips will be big. Oh well...my husband pointed out..."Better to have a large chest and small bottom than no boobs and a big bottom."

7 weeks and 3 days. Continue to feel the TT was worth the drains, pain, and period of healing. At this point my bb has closed. I see the PS on Wednesday. I'll see what he has to say. The only observation to share is that while my tummy is flat, my waist isn't nipped in. PS didn't do lipo because I had a gen surgeon too. I had other issues that he took care of. PS doesn't believe it is healthy to be too radical. I may have lipo in the future. I wish every flat side sister and wanna be the best. I am back in the gym. Only 3 lb hand weights. Lat machine lowest weight. Treadmill for 60 mins. Vary incline and speed. Listen to my body.

Friday, May 3, 2013 was my 6 weeks point po. I am feeling well. The only negative is that my bb closed up. I see the ps on May 15. I had read about the marble trick, but the information I read said the bb had to heal before using a marble to shape the bb. I know I would never wear a 2 piece bathing suit other than a tanktini, so it isn't a big deal to me. I'll see what my doctor tells me next week. While I have been cleared to return to the gym, the weather has been so beautiful that I am walking 5 miles a day. I have a 4 kg ball that I am using for arm toning. I still feel the pain and expenses were well worth the outcome. I have some love handle action on my back, not horrible. I am considering lipo there in the future. I do wish my waist appeared nipped in, but I do have an issue on my upper left side from kidney surgery. The urologist had to remove part of my rib, so I have a bulge that has nothing to do with the TT. That bulge isn't pronounced in the morning. It is very obvious by evening. I know I should post photos. Perhaps I will feel comfortable in the future.
