WORTH IT$3,100
Ok so today I went and did a full days work at nursery (creche) and I managed fine 8.30 till 2.30. On my feet all day bar half hour lunch break. I thoroughly enjoyed myself being back at work but my God it's now 5pm and I look 6 months pregnant!@@@ super tight and super tired... jeeezo I thought by now I would be semi normal but guess not. This is the one thing I didn't count on ... I was so ooooooo optimistic that I would be fine after a few weeks but guess what .... no no no and no . Don't get me wrong I wouldn't change it for the world but I know that I have to be a tad more patient !! . I emailed my surgeon to ask about doing the thigh lift in summer but he said to wait another month to see the skin laxity and hopefully the swelling would be down some more... I may wait till next summer though as I plan on losing a fair bit of wieght ... plan is to get back to the gym next week with just treadmill and a little resistance excersize also hoping to get swimming too.... fingers crossed for me gals xxxx

Still super tired and developd a damn cold so snowing and coughing is zero fun !! Apart from that all seems to be going as should be. Scar healing fine etcetera. I still feel "numb" on the left side of my tummy and on my right inner thighs but apart from that I am getting most of the feelings back. I still have a poor a petite so am sticking to nutrient rich foods like homemade soup and I take multivitamins daily. Desperate to get back to actually excersizing but know that would be stupid. Swell hell has be use that HELL... update in another couple weeks all being well ...any questions ask x

So first off clearly an orthodontist didn't do my tt buy it won't let me post updates without aprovider so....sorry Edwin...
Anyhoo been super busy started back university and have a little review due in a fortnight....eeeeek. but enough of that what about the tummy ... well all is good . Totally closed now and few weeks scabby bits to come off but all in all pretty good. I am finding the swelling a real problem. Especially if I have been at uni and the driving and walking really makes me swell at night ime. Actually by 3ish I can feel it. I was so not prepared for the fatigue though...an that's a killer. Regarding pain Meds I only take tramadol at night to help sleep and nothing throughout the day as it's manageable and I am driving. Doc still says no swimming and easy on excersize.. as in walking only... still super pleased I had it done and recommend Dr djemal and myron clinic. The girls were lovely
.. well I say girls but they are nurses...lol

I see you're doing amazingly well !! And WOW !!! What a difference !! Incredible and makes me a bit more positive about having my op done so thankyou so much for sharing.
In regards to the swelling , are you still wearing your compression garment ?
Sounds like you're slowly returning to normal life which always makes us feel more human.
Lovely to see an update from you Hun keep 'em coming !! Xx

Yep still wearing compression but not at night. It's the weird not quite real numb feeling in my belly that's weird and makes me a bit nauseous. Swelling more the more I do but really frustrated at how slow it feels... despite my doctor telling me off for trying to do too much too soon.... still slithering whether I will get thighs done or not .... will wait a year I think then see...
You are going to get there.
