TT done

Got home from the TT yesterday.  I really have been kinda out of it since then up until this evening and I 'm finally a little more awake.  Still hard to see the outcome because of the swelling but it looks flat.

I'll keep you updated

Terry

glad the surgery went well for you.  wishing you a speedy recovery and great results! 

 Hope you heal well and fast.  Can't wait to hear more. 

Sooo, happy for you!!  You will feel better in no time.  The first couple days were the worst. 

Hang in there!!!

Love ya,
Tracy

I so meant to call you and check in, been a little preoccupied with my own issues in my family. So sorry. Glad it went well. Take care and think about how fabulous you will look in your swim suit this summer!!

Those of you who have been through it please tell me what to expect. Dr. Huse is sending me after my visit in August to a plastics so that I can schedule mine. I am nervous and do not know what to think about it all.

It's been 12 days since mine and I would do it all again so that says a lot there.  Dr Huse is my Dr too and I had Dr Bergman for the plastics.  I love her.  To be honest I don't remember a whole lot about the first couple of days between the anesthesic and the pain pills.  After that though there is pain but bearable.  I live alone and never had to have anyone be with me or anything.  Can't lift over 10 pounds so grandkids take out the trash and etc when they come over.

I still have some swelling which is common and my drain is still in but I expect it to be out in a few days.  Just taking Tylenol for discomfort.  I am a home health care RN and plan to go back to work on Monday which will be 2 weeks exactly from the surgery date.

My tummy looks great---never thought it would ever look like that, in fact I don't think it ever looked that good.  I had a real problem with justifying that I should do it thinking that since my husband had died no one else would see it anyway and why should I do it just for me but I am so glad I did.  And I am glad that I used the CareCredit plan and went ahead and had the full abdominoplasty with lipo instead of just the panni.  Most of my weight I carried in my stomach and the muffin top roll was something I hated so she thought just the panni wouldn't take care of that.

I still weigh around 180 - 185 so need to lose a few more but I was in a size 12 jeans and small in scrub  pants  so I am so happy and maybe I can get another 20 # off.  I am anxious to see what size I will be after the swelling goes down.  Seems like it is hard to lose now and I will be honest that since Lyn died I gained 5-10# just from eating wrong.  I also hate cooking for 1 so I have been in this bad habit of eating out and going thru the drive thru while working which I need to change.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Terry

Terry,
THank you for letting me know your journey. I was not going to do this but have decided that I have come so far and must see it thru even more. I hope that I make progress like you and Tracy have. You both inspire me.

May God bless you and keep you strong!

Glad you are doing so well Terry.  I was only going to look at the panni removal and maybe breast reduction and lifted back into place, but you sound like you are so pleased, I may just think again!  Keep us informed on how it goes.  I love to hear good things.
