7 weeks PO and shrinking belly button!

Saw the doctor yesterday at 7 weeks post-op. Everything looks great and doctor said I was a "perfect procedure, perfect recovery". Except for the belly button that has gotten a bit small. He recommended taping in a marble to keep it from shrinking and creating a nice round shape. My wonderful husband found a marble, boiled it and I was ready to go. Expect that the marble was too big for the space and I couldn't effectively get it in place. I must have pushed to hard and it slipped into my BB and stuck. Next thing I knew, my BB was bleeding and I couldn't get the marble out. Mild freakout, but covered it with gauze and tape and off to bed. By morning it was working it's way out and I was able to remove it. Picked up some ear plugs instead and hoping that works. It sounds like it would be way more comfortable. We'll see. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi all. I haven't updated in a while and thought I'd check in before heading out for the evening. Next Tuesday I'll be six-weeks post op. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone and how good I feel. Wearing a Flexee's CG everyday and using NewGel+ for scar reduction. Pre-surgery jeans fit at two weeks and I've lost 10 pounds.

I'm back to the gym 5 days a week, 3.5 walk on treadmill and cardio on the eliptical. Waiting for my 2/14 appointment for clearance on weightlifting and swimming.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I feel very lucky to have found a great PS who helped guide a great recovery. My husband has been super supportive and so happy with the result. And I'm just thrilled with the results.

If you are thinking about a TT do lots of research, find a great doctor, line up your support system and make sure you are mentally and physically ready for the recovery journey.

Best to everyone for speedy recoveries and fun summers in cute swimsuits! New picture attached.

21 days post-op and saw the PS today. He tapped another 35cc of fluid from my abdomen, but said all good. I had a small cyst removed from my right breast in the office. Easily done and happy to have it gone -- I was conscious of it every time I showed a bit of clevage. I can't say enough great things about my doctor, he's absolutely great. Next visit in three weeks.

Also, first day back at work and managed to make it through the day just fine. So happy to have had the TT/lipo and the results are wonderful.
