2 weeks post op
Still thick but making progress. I had surgery 2 weeks ago today. I’ll be 52 in a week and a half so I know I’ll be a bit slower recovering that the 30-somethings. I had an extended TT so all the way around to the back of my hips with MR and lipo and the muscle repair was definitely the part that stood out. 1st drain out in one week and 2nd drain at 10 days.....see pic. It was getting oozey so I text a pic to dr and he suggested it be removed. I felt that one ore than the first....kinda weird but no pain.
I’ve been getting up and down on my own since about day 5. Been around the block to walk to walk my dog (slowly) since about day 8. Preparing dinners for my family and pretty much back to normal by the end of week 2 Went to work on day 13 for about 6 hours which entailed a lot of up and down and sitting in between. Was nice to get out. But glad it was only one day. I work at a school so it was the last scheduled day for the year.
Bought waaaaay to many supplies. I wish I could pack it all up and resell as a surgery pkg lol.
So.....so far so good. I’m ecstatic to be recovering instead of waiting. I was never nervous about it I was always READY! Oh and I’m 11 pounds down from my day of surgery!
Dr. Lu and his team have been great. I haven’t needed much so I think I’m an easy patient.

Clearance for surgery
Yesterday (5/1) I had to see my GP for blood work and EKG to clear me for surgery (5/16). This cost isn’t included so I’m grateful for having HMO. My cost for this visit was a $10 co-pay vs. a guesstimate of around $500. I informed my Dr. who is doing my surgery and his response was “he does excellent work; he’s very meticulous”. PERFECT!

Extended TT / Lipo to hips and bra line
First, we all look at others who are most similar to where we are in our own journeys. We want to be able to relate to someone who is most like us to see what their results are so with that my stats are:
Age: 51 (ok but 3 weeks after surgery I'll be 52)
Current weight: 165-ish
Height: 5' 2"
Have 2 grown daughters (22 & 21) and husband who are all home during the Covid quarantine and are all supportive of me in my journey.
Occupation: Administrative Assistant
Ok so that's out of the way.
