1 year post TT - the journey continues

Hi Everyone! I'm now past the one year mark. It seems like the time just flew by. I was left with a fat pocket on my hip and I have been dying to have it removed. My PS wanted me to wait a year before doing anything. So now since its pass that point I had lipo yesterday. I'm sore but very happy with my results. I had my upper and lower abs,flanks and upper and lower back. Luckily, I only got have 2 more scars. He did most of the lipo through my tummy tucks incisions. I'm doing great ! The pain is a walk in the park compared to the TT. I actually feel like I did on day 6-7. I did a load of laundry this morning if that gives you any indication of the pain. I will post some pics soon. Of course right now my body is battered and bruised but that is too be expected.. So, ladies the journey continues.

Hello everyone! I will be officially 5 months post surgery tomorrow.I have so much to tell you guys. This has been a real test of patience for me. OK, here we go...I still have numbness and uncomfortable pain in my upper abs like I've done a thousand crunches. My incision line itches like the dickens and its still numb too. My upper abs swell if i eat to much salt or caffiene. Trust me I can literally see it swelling sometimes.Its a lil weird but at least I know when I've over done it. My incision line has lighten up. But not to the degree I've seen some folks on here. I use a lil bit of everything on it. I'm really not to worried about the scar. Its under my bikini and my flat tummy is all that matters to me. I feel like my skin on my tummy could have been pulled tighter.. Its not tight as I would like it too be. I have a fat pocket on my side aka dog ear. My Dr thinks I still have swelling and wants me to wait a few more months before he lipos the dog ear.His nurse thinks I should wait until after the summer since I will be in a garment AGAIN. I have decided since he has to fix the dog ear anyway. I'm going to get my entire waistline,tummy and back fat lipoed too. I read on here that its pretty normal to get or want lipo on your waistline after a tummy tuck. Trust me I can totally see now how folks get addicted to PS. It's like the dentist no matter how much it hurts or cost you will look so much better afterwards.Then the pain and money don't seem to matter as much as the end result. I'm thinking after this lipo in a few months I will be done...Hopefully...lol. Overall all is good and I woud do the surgery again in a freaking heart beat. I posted a few new pics so you guys can see the areas I'm talking about. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect yellow bikini. I'm starting to think I will never find the perfect one. Maybe I will once the problem areas are resolved. I hope everyone I have met along the way is happy and healing chat with you all again soon!

Hi Ladies!
Wow where to begin? I guess I will start with I can't believe it has been 2 months already! Technically,Sunday the 15th will be exactly 2 months.I'm feeling really good and life is pretty much back to normal. Some swelling in the evening but nothing too severe.I still have a very small hole in my incision line.Not sure if I will need a revision yet since its still in the healing process. Its about the size of a q-tip now. My upper stomach muscles get really sore now.I'm tempted to rub on some Ben-Gay.It feels like I have done a 1000 crunches some days. My PS said that its normal. Its just my body saying "hey slow down I'm healing".I'm working on my acar with vitamin E and nightly massages. It still has a way to go. Honestly, I can live with the scar its so much better than a saggy belly. I have finally been released to workout. I'm so excited! I'm not a gym rat but I do enjoy working out once I get into the rhythm. I'm not even sure where to start I feel so out of shape. My booty and thighs needs some work. Any of you ladies out there have any suggestions for my first workout? Should I wear some type of compression garment while I workout?
I'm not seeing my PS again until March unless I have a issue. I was seeing him weekly since this surgery.I guess that means I'm doing fantastic!
Happy healing everyone I hope you are loving life in the flatland.
