Been a while... time to update.
WORTH IT$16,500
I'm on CLOUD 9 today!! Tomorrow I get both my drains removed (my surgeon won't remove them prior to 3 weeks PO) AND I get my stitches removed from my belly button. I'm gonna feel like a whole NEW person! PLUS... I was excited to receive my Victoria Secret order in the mail today! I have NEVER EVER ordered from that company!!!! I have to say, I'm in LOVE! I was so excited to buy such cute items (panties, a new bra, and even a surprise for hubby on V-Day.. hehe). I even had hubby help pick out the panties. LOL! Tomorrow after my appointment (I scheduled it for 9:45am as it's a 1 1/2 hr drive) I'm going to come back home (we usually stay in the city and shop) and try on my new panties and all my old clothes. I'm hoping that I can widdle my wardrobe down so that I can go shopping and buy nicer clothes that I can feel more confident wearing. I'm so used to wearing baggy clothes that don't really fit cause I had a lot to hide. I'm hoping to "come out of hiding" tomorrow!! LOL!
Wednesday, I return back to work. I asked for it since I'm getting bored at home and I'm sure my co-workers are sick of covering my caseload, but once my drains are removed I will feel like a "free woman" and won't get to experience it since I'm heading right back to work. So I'm regretting asking to go right back rather than waiting till Monday. BUT... atleast I can ease myself into a full work week. I will work Wed, Thurs, and Friday.. have the weekend off then start a full work week. Either way... It's inevitable, I have to go back to work SOME TIME! BOO-HOO!
Healing: My breasts are healing very nicely. The incisions are VERY thin and hardly noticeable. The incisions are still taped and the nipple incisions are barely noticeable as well. I'm SUPER impressed!! My right side of my tummy tuck incision is healing beautifully and you can't even see the incision along my pubic bone. CRAZY! My left side however is being a stinker. I have one spot about an inch of the incision that scabbed over and was pulled off somehow (either while showering, changing the tape, changing the steri strips, etc.). So my husband has been "nursing" the wound for me to try and get it to scab back over again and heal nicely. So far he's doing a great job. I just looked at it after my shower today and you can see the white scab on the inside that's working it's way out (sorry if that seems gross to some). I was worried cause I thought it was infected even though I'm still on antibiotics cause of my drains. But I was a mess and cried most of the day on Saturday cause it just wasn't healing "the way I wanted it to heal". I just need to realize that healing takes time and not everything heals the same. The right side is perfect, but the left side needs a little more help. It'll get there. :-))
Anyways, I've been peeking in on everyone's progress and I have to say that our January board is looking PRETTY HOT!! Everyone is healing very nicely. I haven't updated much because there's been nothing to update. Once I get my drains out tomorrow, it will be another step forward. More frequent updates are coming............

Ok... So I know in a few days late but I wanted to share a few pictures that I took when I went to my appointment on Wednesday. I'm really liking what I see! There has never been ONE moment that I have ever regretted having this surgery done. Happy healing to all my RS Sisters. ????

Yes! You look really NICE! :) no tummy, no rolls, nice youthful cleavage!! And you're still so early in the healing process! And I'm a little jealous that you can stand up all the way! Lol I think you're a day behind me and I'm all kinds of hunched over! Haha I can't wait till these tubes & drains are gone so I can see what I look like in panties!

7 days PO....
I have a lot to be thankful for!! Making these collages helped me to realize just how horrible I looked before surgery and how far I've come these past 7 days. I still have areas to work on, but that will all come with time. This is a huge improvement and I'm really liking what I'm seeing! I have my post op appointment tomorrow at 2pm so I'm excited to hear what Dr Polley has to say about the healing progress!!

These collages are great!! Look how far you have come and how fantastic you look and you're only 7 days out! Congrats and happy healing.

You have come a long way! Great job! You look great at only 1 week post and will only continue to look better. Happy healing :)))

Thank you so much! I was totally taken back by comparing the differences. I honestly didn't realize just how much of a toll my body had taken prior to surgery!
January 21, 2015
you look so good! And look at your mons compared to before TT. It's lifted. Love that! Everything looks great and you have such a tiny waist! So excited to how everything heals in the next couple weeks. It will keep getting better & better! Swelling will go away and scars will lighten :D you are so blessed!
January 22, 2015
Thank you! I couldn't believe the difference in the mons area! I was shocked that that's what I dealt with before the surgery. Now I just want to hurry and heal to "try out" my "refurbished" body! :) By the way... you are looking mighty good yourself too!
