Hi everyone. Well, I am feeling pretty good. No probs at all except for my weight jumping around. That scale...she is a fickle *****

I'm just gonna need to stay off that thing for a while.

But things are okay. Working some from home today. This JP in my hip keeps me from sitting too long so I am glad I have a boss who lets me work at home.

Incisions are all clean, dry and crunchy.
Wearing the Binder from Hell.
Glue is starting to peel off so incision lines look yucky but they are healed- thats what matters, right?

No pain at all so no meds.

JP output still 50-80 a day. Geez...I wi**** would slow down. I want it gone so bad. I will feel normal again, I think. I wanna wear some panties...JPs make that hard!

I put on some unders and took a new pic if you wanna take a peek. Must be a Friend to see'um. I think I have answered all requests. Swelling is slightly better but it rears its ugly head by the evenings.

So far, so good!

I know how you feel, I'm 13 days out from Hernia, TT & Gynecomastia  3 out of 4 drains are still going strong had 1 pulled last week, probably 1 more tomorrow.  Finally got off the suace two days ago just a little tylenol at this point. Have two more weeks before I go back to work, can't work from home like some people (lucky). Ran a couple errands today felt good to get out of house and enjoy weather, miss walkiing my dogs though.

Hang in there,
Bubba

Proud your feeling better!  You look great!  Stay off the scales!  You must be retaining ALOT of water if your drains are still putting out that much @ 2 weeks out.

What a difference a week makes!  Tummy looks a lot less swollen.  If the drains are still putting out 50-80 then the extra weight is probably water ?  As soon as the drains come out you will hopefully see a drop in weight - but your stomach looks great!

You look GREAT!  Wow!  What an amazing difference!  I loved my first TT because it was such a drastic change.  My belly looked like yours - I had chronic back pain related to the weight of my hideous tummy!  After my TT, I never took another pain med for back pain!  It was a miracle!

I just had the Anchor Cut in May and I am loving my flat tummy!

Once your swelling goes down you'll probably be in 2 or 3 sizes smaller for pants.  I know I went from a 20 to a 14 after my TT was gone!
