Work is going well. Not to sore afterwards. I find my swelling is the same all day. I try not to get discouraged from the swelling. I really hope my belly button goes in. My scar is super thin. I'm really happy about that. I'll be putting lotion on soon, my skin is so dry. I was informed to wait until my scabs are gone. I keep thinking it's up hill from here.

Howdy! I know this is older, but how did healing go? What thoughts do you have about the doctor? I'm wanting a breast reduction done and she's in my network for insurance.

Hey girl, glad to hear you're on the uphill! Did your ps tell you to wear a faja or any other compression garment to help with the swelling? I had my tt on May 4 and there are still days that I have to bind myself up because the swelling is brutal. Just curious to hear what your ps advised you!

Well it's almost been three weeks. I've learned to listen to my body. Swelling hasn't been that bad but I do have some cramping in my muscles. Now that I'm going to work we'll see some serious swelling I bet. I am still very happy with my results. If I had to pick one thing I'm not overly happy about it would be how high my scar sits on my hips. I think I have high hips. I would have to pull my swimming suit up higher then normal to cover my scar. That'll have to be the new norm. I can't lift anything over 10lbs and I helped my 4 yr old out of the shopping cart the other day. I'm wondering if the muscle cramping is part of that. I've been pretty good other then that. I wonder when I can start putting stuff on my scar? I would really like to try the silicone scaraway strips. Any suggestions?

That's the one thing in not so happy with either.. Went to old navy though and the hipster bottoms work! Also bought another bathing suit bottom in a large instead of medium to help pull them up.. You look great and good luck at work!!!

Hello. Thank you for asking. Yes I am very happy. Once i could start wearing something other then my compression garment from my PS I was much more comfortable. I had gotten my drain out and was able to resume my daily activities and sleep in bed. I feel human again! So far so good. I'm going to post more pics soon.
