Update

Hi guys. Well I am 20 days out from my tt surgery and doing good. I have lost another 13 pounds since surgery. Its amazing to think I now weigh 113lbs! Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think it would be possible that is about 151 pounds lost. I still am tried after a days work and the scar tissue has a funny hard feeling being down the center of my tummy. Well, thanks for reading folks. You are all great supporters! Oh, for you ladies I know you can appreciate this....I now feel like I can wear those cute little bra and string patties sets without feeling like I still have that fat belly hanging over the string!!!! Karie

Karie, I am happy to hear you are doing fine.I am sure what you feel is scar tissue. You have done wonderful in your journey. Keep up the great work. Lets see your face more often. Let me get to bed. My flight is early in the morning. I am going to West Palm Beach to visit a friend. P.S. Enjoy those little bras and string panties. I can't believe I am wearing a size 34 B bra myself. It seems so weird, considering I was wearing a 46C . I do miss my breasts . Enjoy the rest of your summer girl. Take care............... Lorraine

Hi Karie, I go for my TT next Wednesday. My doc thinks I'll lose about 5lbs. Maybe a little more. I think it's closer to 2. We'll see who's right, soon enough. I'm swamped at school, trying to get all my assigments done before the surgery. Keep us posted. Nona

You look so wonderful in your pictures already. (and I only see the before TT pictures) Do you have any pain? 113 lbs... I could carry you around! 151 lbs!!!! WOW. That is exciting about getting to wear the string panties. Life is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Allison

Hi Karie I am happy to hear that you are doing so well...steve

WooHoo.......I am glad everything went so well! I am a little ( A LOT) envious....I am having some issues with swelling and water retention...I developed two seromas.....so even tho I am a month out, still not normal....My PS said some folks swell and hold fluid, some don't.....I am the lucky one *NOT* I went to the health food store last night and picked up some bromelain.....it is supposed to help with swelling....there are a lot of folks on the main board that swear by the stuff....did you use it? Well again CONGRATS And take care Jesi
