TT and thigh lipo surgery a success
I had surgery on Friday for an extended TT and lipo to my outer thighs, also to my Right underarm to remove excess skin. I lost 3 pounds of skin and 800 cc's and 600cc's of fat from my thighs.
Everything is going great so far. I have been able to sleep in my own bed and get up in the night to go to the bathroom as necessary on my own. I am up walking each hour as recommended, taking my pain meds, but today started cutting back on them because I'm not in so much pain, but I do feel discomfort at the incission sites.
I am totally excited about how tight my tummy is and that my saddle bags are gone!!! My girlfriend told me I"m a bit swollen which will go away in time, but if I even just stay as I am today, I would be completely happy.
One hint for after a TT is wear a T-shirt as a barrier between your skin and the binder. The binder was making the tubing for the drain embed in my skin and that hurt like crazy. Now that I have the T shirt on it's not as bad.
After my shower today I will have my friend take some photos.
All the best-
Susan

No pain meds, thats awesome! Things are great when you can start leaving the pain meds behind! 
Don't overdue, take your time and heal!

I am doing really well and took a few more pictures this morning. The swelling was so much less this morning, and I am loving the new belly! I am about to put new pictures on in a minute.
