Laura

Hi Laura! This hurts . But I am blessed! This is day 6 and my armpits hurt! The TT is very swollen and I am 85 percent upright! I am definitely tired of sittnig on my ass too lol I can't explain results because my entire forearm has been bandaged with ace bandages since surgery, and I haven't taken my compression garment off at all. How is ur lbl Laura? I am soooo bored and tired of being helpless. I am young 25 single mom Of 2 little boys 6 and 3 and do not have alot of support so I am struggling! But nothing is worst than that skin lol

I'm a single mom of 2 girls, ages 6 and 8 so I feel your pain!! They do not understand being cooped up for so long with a mom who can't do much. And except for my mom, the rest of my family hasn't been any help. Today is day 12 for me and I'm doing well pain-wise. I'm going completely STIR-CRAZY hanging around this house!! But life goes on and we will get through this!!

Tomorrow I'm going to drive for the first time and drop my girls off at day-camp (a short drive). Big step!! Hopefully I'll be able to handle it!!  

It sounds like you're doing as well as can be expected right now. Hang in there!! It DOES get better!!

Laura

sending healing blessings  and some hugs and kisses your way!...this time next year you won' even remember this pain......and your body will keep you movtivated

WOW!!!! U r going to look amazing. I am possibly having my TT in August. But I keep losing damn weight, I keep trying to eat more to stablilize but everytime I go back for a check up I have lost 7-15 lbs. I really REALLY need a arm lift. I have terrible BAT WINGS!!! Love how u shared with us. I may share my pics when I get confirmation of my TT. Keep it up, u r fabulous diva.

 Congrats on your surgery. I'm also looking for some name of some doctors for some plastics. Did you pay out of pocket? Do you think my insurance will pay for plastics? 

Glad you are doing well.

I wish I would have had your type of incision instead of the anchor cut.  Due to skin necrosis and this huge open wound - I won't be able to share after pictures for many more weeks - I'm 6 weeks post op fleur de lis (anchor cut) abdominoplasty and brachioplasty.  My arms are tiny.

My arm pits bothered me for about 3 weeks.  The Left underarm incision opened a little and was slower to close.  Just don't lift or extend your reach beyond what is comfortable.

I still am pretty helpless (due to complication).  I drive and work - but can't lift, exercise and I tire really easily.

hows the pain?  I'm so excited to get my bat wings clip ( i hope i don't want cheat and look..lol) do your arms feel lighter already? cut look clean and even...Wishing you a speedy recovery!
