Today has been my flattest day yet!
WORTH IT$10,500
Seems like everyday i fluctuate when it comes to swelling, today has been by far the best day yet!! Its amazing to see how in just a couple days things change, i drink tons of water...which yes, means i have to pee like every 5 minutes lol, but i find drinking water helps a ton with swelling, and also for me keeping compressed makes a big difference, i dont wear my CG anymore, but i do wear more comfortable firm control high rise panties, like spanx and then i like to wear my sporty capri pants over top, like Nike dri fit capris with a wide waist band..or old navy compression capris, Its not to tight its actually pretty comfy, well way more comfier then the CG. Alrighty well i was psyched to be so flat this morning so i thought why not share with all ya'all! Happy healing everyone and best wishes to all the upcoming TT'ers!

Thank you so much for writing a detailed experience... I am having my TT/BA June 17th. SO NERVOUS! Just like you- I've never had any surgery before, so this is quite the BIG deal. You look great, and can't wait to see mine!

Thank you for the compliment :-) and oh i know how u r feeling girl! but you know what, surgery was NOT nearly as scary as i thought it was going to be, your out of the surgery room and in the recovery room before you know it! Just keep thinking positive thoughts, like all the fantastic new outfits your gonna be rocking soon :-D Best wishes to you!!

Before and After 3 weeks!
Yesterday i had my 3 week appt, everything went super well, i got my tapes off..only to get new tapes on though, which have to be on for 6 months!...the tapes will give me a better scar..also the tape i got this time is different..more comfortable and not too different from the color of my skin..so no biggy :-) Also i start scar therapy next week..i am to apply a product called Kelocote twice a week, a thin layer on my incision line..wait for it to dry then re tape, also i put a thin layer around my bb and let that dry, so thats a routine i will start next wednesday, twice a week for 6 months..hopefully it'll be all worth it and i end up with a light scar...fingers crossed! :-D
Took before and afters in my swim suits...afters are kinda dark...it was a cloudy day..didnt get much sunlight in the bathroom...i am sooo happy i cant even explain, i am sooo happy!! i cant believe that was me before..feels unreal to look at my afters...at 3 weeks and still swollen i am beyond pleased! No more CG whoooo hoooo! but i have a lighter more comfortable high rise control top i wear when i am feeling like i need the compression...the CG was annoying to wear but the compression it gave me was such a relief, i still need that relief so a garment like spanx or a high rise control of some kind is definitely helpful. At 6 weeks i get to start working out, not aggressively..gotta gradually work into that, i cant wait to start though! before my mid section didnt respond to anything i did, pliates..cardio..nothing! now i feel like i got a body i can work with!!
