Had my TT...
Well it has been a week now since my full TT w/ MR and I most say I'm doing really good. WLS was way worse then this.
I had a anchor cut, I have 4 drains, 82 staples and he removed 8 pounds of skin.

First, CONGRATS! You look great, so much smaller through the waist too. And I am amazed you have barely any swelling!
I am having a tummy tuck and breast reduction on December 15th. The surgeon did tell me I would have a better result having a fleur de lis operation (anchor cut), but I do not scar well and am opting for just the bikini scar. My result won't be quite as good, but it will still be very nice, plus he automatically does the mons lift so yay for me. I'm assuming you had the abdominal muscle tightening, how does that feel? Do you feel stronger now, or really tight?
Four drains though, wow! I'm only getting two, I wonder if it's because you have that vertical incision? And who knew that drain would go so far up! I am really dreading the drains, the one I had didn't hurt after my WLS but it was very painful when he took it out. Oh well, it's the price we pay!
Congrats again, and thanks a lot for sharing
I just had a tummy tuck, inner thigh lift and lipo last friday, sounds like you getting around a little better than me but each day is getting better. Hopefully it won't be too long and we'll be both shopping. I had 7 lbs removed and 2 liters of fat from lipo. I can't wait to see the results, I still have a bit of swelling, and one more drain letf out of 4. Gooddluck with everyting.
