WORTH IT$8,000
Revision surgery went well and I was in and out of the hospital. Contour already looks better and no bruising yet. Sore but more of a minor inconvenience than pain really and I love this garment she put me in! I hated my TT garments...all of them but this one is a high waisted long capris garment. Crotchless and zippers and hooks on both legs! Taking it easy until I go back to work on Tuesday and hoping this garment will fit under my clothes. If not I'll have to go buy a couple pairs of pants to wear for 2 weeks until I can switch into spanx!
Happy New Year ladies!

I am so glad... I found your journal! This helped me out a lot of my decision to get a tummy tuck! Thank you so much!

Going in for a little revision tomorrow. I have had a knot on my right hip that has never dissipated and is very prominent so tomorrow I go in for bilateral hip lipo and scar revision. I have a wrinkle that has never fixed itself either on the end of my scar.
I hate to have to have it done, but after paying all that $$ for the tummy tuck, I don't want to have a knot that shows and makes me look funny...so here I go.
I dread the thought of wearing a compression garment again though but this recovery will be a walk in the park compared to the tummy tuck recovery 8 months ago!
Wish me luck ladies! I'll talk to you soon!

Good luck to you! You should be fine. I am sure recovery will not be nearly as bad as the tt recovery. Also it is nice you are doing it now so you will be all healed by summer! Let us know how you are doing.

I wish you luck. I am going in for a little revision too next month. My surgeon wouldn't do lipo with my TT and BR so now I am still big in the top part of my belly so he is going to remove it now. I didn't know about scar revision so I may ask about that since I don't like part of my incision immediately above my pubic area. I'll post to my wall with updates soon.

I will be 12 weeks post op on Thursday and go for my 3 month check up on Friday and I seriously can't believe it has been that long!
I'm loving my results although the scale is not moving in my favor, but I have been back at the gym for a solid 5 weeks with my trainers and I can tell I have gained muscle with the workouts that he has put me through! Even though I know that, and even though I know that muscle weighs more than fat...I'd like to see the scale going down! Oh well, I look great and I can't believe it when I look in the mirror how tiny I have gotten.
My doctor was absolutely amazing and did a fantastic job! My swelling is less and less each day and I was lucky to never have it as bad as most, but today it was bad so I had another lymphatic massage and I feel so much better!
I can't wait for my appointment next week to see how my doc thinks I'm progressing!
Take care all!

I'm so glad you are living it up! I'd love to have a trainer to push me but I do enjoy my workouts too. I don't think my tummy will ever be as flat as yours, you def have a hard tight little body! Congrats on all your hard work!
Check in and let us know how you are doing after the revision:)
