WORTH IT$12,500
About 3 montha post op.
Finally able to do a few pullups without pain. Pushups are ok now too. still feeling numb along the area above my scar and occasionally feeling twinges of pain as perhaps the nerves are growing back a bit.
I am still terrified to Train abs properly so I am just being careful, and lifting weights and Will be doing Insanity for cardio.
skipping my regular abs workouts for a while longer.
Everything looks great except I may have a bit of swelling along my back above the scar. either that or I'm still just not lean enough and have to drop a little bit more bodyfat.
I will upload a picture of my back so you can see where I may be swollen/fat.
Only time will tell, I guess.

approx 6 weeks
dying to start weightlifting again.
I wad told I could resume full activity at 8 weeks...
i hope i will actually feel ready by then. Ive been doing a little "light cardio" but wow I feel really lame going so easy.
So far the hardest part of recovery has been the waiting until I am able to start lifting.

that is good, i am not sure i will really be ready to do that much after only 8 weeks. my abs feel fairly tight and any stretching is sort of scary.
i dont know how prepared i will be to lift with any real meaningful weight.
acrobatic stuff especially will have to wait quite a bit longer. even thinking about backbends and
handstands and such is terrifying right now lol.
maybe i will take your doctor's advice! thanks :)

how was your first few days? i am just curious because you were a drainless tt. I am wondering how the recovery will be.

it was kind of a blur, i just sat around alot to keep the abs from feeling like they were pulling. The exparel drug kept most of the severe pain away, but by no means was I super mobile.... i could sit in one position, so i had to forget about reaching up high or twisting or any stretching movements.... but the pain from sitting hunched over or slow walking was pretty minimal.
the first few days was when i was most swollen, at that point it was hard to get my Spanx on since having to force them up was really taxing. both because my waist was huge and because i had limited upper body mobility
and of course i couldnt be around the babies or they wouldve freaked out that i wasnt able to hold them.

Haven't been on for a while and wondering how you other exercising-TTers are doing now that you are a ways out. I'm at 3.5 months and doing everything previous to TT except full on ab work with weights and reps I used to. Running actually feels really good now because it stretches me out like nothing else. Hope you are back or close to your old routine. Would love to see pics!
