3 months and a couple of weeks post op now and I can honestly say it's made such a difference to my day to day life. I feel so much happier about my body and so much more confidence. Without the tummy in the back of my mind my focus is back on the things that I should be focusing on, and I'm so ready for this year. Holiday is booked and I've even bought a bikini! My scars are healing perfectly and my TT scar is easily invisible with a few dabs of concealer. Hands down best money I've ever spent!!

Wow, you look amazing! Glad to hear things are getting easier as I'm only 1 week po and already feeling like I've been like this forever! The swelling is already driving me nuts so it's nice to hear it gets better fairly soon, your story gives me hope. Take care and I look forward to seeing your next update x

It will get easier soon, especially week 2 po that's when you will notice improvements... I started taking bromelain after 2 weeks po for the swelling (I would have taken it sooner if I could've got to the shops!) and I think that's helping.... You look fantastic too!! Hope you start to feel better soon xx

Thanks, feel a bit frankenstien-like with all these puckered scars! I've been taking bromelain from a couple days before surgery so I dread to think what I'd be like if I didn't take it lol!
I'm so jealous of your waist, you've got a gorgeous natural shape that was there before surgery so now it just looks even better, you must be so pleased ☺

Was it pretty tough as far as pain and what not until now? So good to see your post op photos :-) Thank you for sharing! How do you feel about your scar? Any suggestions for scar treatment?

So night 1 overnight in hospital wasn't so bad, night 2 my first night home I did struggle, I felt like I couldn't breathe because of all the compression and I think me being scared of being at home without the nurses there just made it worse... But I was actually OK, I'm generally a bit of a worrier anyway so I just worked myself up. But honestly after night 2 things really did start to ease and improve, I was slowly moving more, it was never excruciating pain at all just quite a strong ache would be the best way to describe it! I'm really happy with my scar, I prefer it one million percent to the saggy skin and I don't mind showing it off, I don't feel embarrassed like I did with my tummy before the op.... I've been putting micropore tape on the scar now to aid with it healing smooth and flat... haven't started any creams or anything yet as my surgeon wants to wait until my 6 week check up... but I will keep you posted :)

Back to reality today! Back in the office working. I was supposed to have today off but I felt like I needed to get back to some kind of normality! So far today has been fine, I'm mainly sat at my desk getting up for short walks so it's really not strenuous. Trying to find something to wear was funny it either was tight fitting and showed off my nips lol or it was slightly too low and showed the bra! So I went for a baggy top and hoped for the best...it's not too cold in here today lol!
I had my 2 week check up yesterday and my surgeon was happy with the progress :) Now I have to tape my scars to keep them smooth and I no longer have steri straps like I do in the pic Ive uploaded just to show the girls and the scar!
Next check up is in a few weeks, excited to see how the next few weeks go! Then when I see my surgeon next he will advise re using creams and the breast massage...
Sleeping is still slowly improving and I've started taking bromelain for the swelling hoping that will help things. Last night my tummy was soooo swollen but I had walked around a lot yesterday and just had dinner so it did go down!
All in all good progress...will update as the recover process continues :)
