Hi everyone today is 5wks since my TT, and m sorry I still not been able to post my pic! but will definitely make huby post them this wkend! Pain is not there but every now and then i can feel soreness on upper abdomin. I now walk abt 2mile everyday even in the rainy weather! My swelling below the incision (pubic area) is subsiding and starting to look betr but above incision is still swollen and looks like a roll (pouch) but my consultant told me its all swelling and it will flatten up when I saw him on 10th day after TT, I have to see him on tuesday again and will be asking him again about this, I do trust him because the pubic are is flattening and swelling is susbsiding so hopefully this also will flatten up! I have lost about 6lbs since TT, Not been dieting but its just the well look and feel factor and the little walks! Clothes fit better and look good! was size 8/10 four years ago and before TT had to buy few clothes size 16 to accommodate the big stomach and now after TT I fit in size 12 and look good. I hope that in few months time I will be able to fit in all my clothes again! I am really happy with results(apart frm the swelling above the incision). Had to buy a few high waist knickers so they dont irritate the uncision. also bought few high wasted medium conrol knickers and I wear 3 together at a time! this is because I found that 3pair give me good support and dont feel too sore when walking or driving. Its a big effort when visitng washrooms struggling in and out of 3control knickers he he he! I go to slip with them too! Thats y I bought quite a few pairs so I can change everyday! My BB also looks good and healing have a black scab on it hopefully scab will fall off and leave a good clean BB. M really thankful to the Real Self site and also Kim who always promptly answered all my questions and worries and advised through my TT journey. Just to say anyone considering a TT please go ahead and you will not regret it. Just choose a good consultant and Hospital. I pray for everyone having a TT or recovering from TT take care everyone and pictures to follow this wkend.

Hi everyone! Today is 2weeks post op and I feel much better. Managed to go into town did some shopping couldn carry it but had my cousin to help! I had to walk at slow pace, enjoyed the day and for a change didnt feel so tired! Still have swelling on and off more towards the end of the day. I have dissolving stitches on BB and lower abdomin. My BB looks as if its positioned a bit low but dont know if its me or what! Weighed myself not lost or gained any weight in 2wks but clothes fit me better and no bulging stomach! Thats good and worth all the pain. I still feel uncomfortable when i go toilet that is when the control pants are off! Still sleeping on my back rather than side. Every now and then I burst into tears I hope this feeling will also go soon. We had really gd weather lasr few days here in London and the sun is done lots of good and brightened my days.

Hi everyone! Today 8th day post op and I feel better and happy and little more energetic than past few days where I got tired without doing much. Sat on a chair next to the tub bent my head over the tub and washed my hair, dried it put light makeup on and felt lady like! ( body was just wipe down job). Although I cant see my new BB or Stomach as it is plstered and binder on but I can definetly see the flatness of the stomach ! I am really happy and cant wait for the plasters to come off on tuesday. feel few sharp twinges may be just healing process. Hope everyone who is going through this journey are feeling better and will remember all in my prayers....
