Happy New Year Guys!!

I have not updated in forever! Nothing much has happened or changed except for his past week. I had a dog ear revision this past week. It was an uncanny week because this time a year ago, I was in a similar though not as extreme pain.

I have not lost much weight at all. I am currently 165! That's descent I guess, but like many of you all, my resolution is to drop 14 lbs this year. I can do it!

Well, a year later, I am flat and was pain free until the revision. I don't have any swelling anymore. That's such a blessing. I still bloat and get a puff tummy, but I like that I still look natural. After the tummy tuck, no one noticed a thing, so I transitioned well. However, after the breast reduction, I had a lot of questions about weightless.

I wasn't impressed with the 2 hour delay at my post op. I didn't get a perscrption for my anitibiotics until after I read the paperwork that said for me to take it every so often. That annoyed me! Besides that, all is well. After the reduction, I have to compare the TT doctor with the BR doctor, and she blew his out of the water with her services.

Thank you! I used Mederma and coco butter by Palmers. That was it. After paying 7800, I didn't want to spend too much more money on this TT.

Hey! You look fabulous!!! I am now a 36D! How perfect is that??! I love these Tatas! I am going to commit to working out this summer! Oh and for the scar, I just used Palmers cocoa butter like lotion so it didn't feel so much like an extra thing to do.

Please excuse the no bra pics. It is easier to add pics that show my tummy along with my reduction. Here are my 4 months updated photos. So far, so good. I have some serious love handles, but I remember the doc telling me that I would be able to get those liposuctioned in his office at no charge, however, I am not so sure that I want to have another procedure. I will start working out this week, so hopefully I can get rid of them by exercise. We shall see...

I still swell. Worse, I got my tubes tied. Apparently,they inflate your stomach with oxygen, so I have a pop belly right now. It will go down though. Well, have fun updating and reading!!!

Thank you, KLewis. I am still waiting to get some relief on these flanks. They squeeze over my sides like they did before. That looks really silly with a flat stomach!

Well hello there! I am just about 3 months post op...

Well hello there! I am just about 3 months post op. Nothing much has changed. I feel pretty good and am healing well. I am trying not to focus too much on the TT because I do find myself discouraged on some days. The tummy gets really big like I am a blowfish or something. I don't like it at all. But it could very well just be part of healing.

I had a breast reduction this past week, so my newly pic reflects a surgical bra that's simply no sexy. lol. But my scar is healing well. I need to work out and tone these jiggly thighs I have. I have lost a total of 17lbs since the TT. i am really proud of that. I've been watching what I eat using myfitnesspal.com. If you have the time to plug in your foods, it will help tremendously. If you have any questions, please ask.
