Sensitive topic for those who've had TT (s-e-x)
I had this random little thought as I was sitting there wiping tears from my eyes, rubbing my sore tummy. I'm just gonna be blunt and say it.
Is it gonna hurt when I have an ******
I can only imagine that it will, since I'm pretty sure that abdominal muscles are some of the ones that contract when you... you know. My abs don't hurt when I'm just going about my business but they do when I sneeze or try to sit up without using my arms. It's an unpleasant little shock.
I know it'll get better. It has to. But I don't know how soon. And I *really* don't want to be yelling out in pain and scrunching into a ball if I should happen to meet the pizza delivery guy of my dreams and consummate our eternal love.
I haven't tested this on my own. (haha! I feel about as randy as a block of ice at the moment). And common sense dictates that at some point I should, before testing it out with someone else.
I don't even really know what I'm asking because I don't expect people to just come out and say "Hey I had my TT last year and my ******s hurt for the first 2 months but now they're great!" because that's pretty personal info, at least for many. I guess I'm just thinking out loud. I am finally starting to love my body. And I'd be lying if I said that sex wasn't one of the top things I'm looking forward to (now I just need a committed monogamous relationship with someone who will treat me with the respect and admiration I'm due- not a tall order at all!).
Can anyone give me any insight in vague terms? Like "Well I knew this girl once who had a tummy tuck and SHE said..." or can you tell me if your sex life has generally improved, and how long you had to wait for improvement?

Ok so I have no actual answer on this because I'm not quite two weeks out yet and have both the LBL and the new rack to contend with but...
I just have to say that I luv you. I get teased all the time about how open I am with my sharing of info, life's questions and general ponderings. But you've got that plus incredibly fun writing to go with it.
This post made my day even though I can't make yours with an actual answer - although I'm going to have to figure it out too since my husband is freaking me out with his over interest in the state and future state (think drop and fluff and when they'll be more touchable) state of my new hooters. When he asked me about my post op appointment and I told him how I learned to massage them and why and how often you could tell he was just about to open his mouth and volunteer for the job. I seriously had NO idea how boob deprived this poor guy has been for the past 20 something years together. It's both pleasing and annoying all at the same time.
Reminds me of what Dr. Egrari's coordinator told me when I told her I wasn't sure how much my husband really cared about the plastic surgery I was planning. She said, "Honey, I learned from my husband after my surgery, and from every husband who's been through here that every man is a boob man after surgery. Whether they were before or not." I thought I was getting a sales pitch but darned if she wasn't right.

If anything it was a great and might have even been a good part of my healing process!
