I desired to have a MM since I could never achieve the results I wanted by Just going to the gym. I was very hesitant about having the surgery done even right up to the day. Thinking of all the bad stuff that could happen, do I even need this, or why am I doing this, but I had the surgery. I have a lot more healing to do, but so far. I am happy with my decision and can't wait to see the results as the months pass.

Wow!! Your y looks amazing!! And you're only two days post?? You're rocking that recovery standing straight like you are!! I was hunched over for weeks, lol... My belly had little pleats just like yours and everything flattened out perfectly! I hope recovery is easy on you and I just know you're going to be amazed at your results when all the aches and pains are over. She first week was the hardest and then it gets much much better as the days go by. You'll be trying in bikinis in no time at all!! :)
Happy healing! And keep us updated on how you're feeling. If you need us we are here for support!! :)

Yes, I remember how painful the lipo of flanks was... I think that lasted a few weeks. I just told everyone in the house to not joke around and touch my sides because it was painful. As long as no one touched my sides it didn't hurt too bad. The muscle repair also took a couple months to feel normal again. It's a long process, but one that'll be so worth it once you're all healed up :)

Hey girls,
Here's an update on my TT/ muscle repair and BA. I haven't taken any pain meds today and the soreness is bearable. I Can't wait for the drains to come out! Hopefully on my Monday checkup, fingers crossed!!! Stomach in more swollen in the center and flanks are definatly the most painful upon pressure. Breast are fine, very easy recovery. I had placd in the armpit. I did a lot of walking yesterday so I'm trying to rest up today. Hope everyone is surviving :)

Monday followup

Kind of disappointed my 3 drains are still in... I'm really not putting out a lot of fluid. The center of my stomach is still swollen and tender to touch. Of course flanks are soar, but I can handle it. Still no meds at all, I'm just finishing up antibiotics. The breast augmentation was a piece of cake compared to the TT.

They removed the tape from the suture sights and my weight is down even more since before surgery -137. Next F/U is on Friday and these drains better be trash.

Yes, those drains are no fun at all, but you sure don't want a seroma, so for now they gotta get the fluid out. Even if it's just a little. I had mine in for 2 weeks... No fun at all. Hang in there, hopefully your body is healing enough that you can get them out soon.

Thanks for the encouragement!!
