1 Month out from TT

Well, technically tomorrow will be 1 month but what will a day make? LOL
Anyhoo, had my TT with hernia repair on May 11th at 9pm- yes, 9pm- my surgeon had a procedure that went beyond so I had to wait..

Well went in and woke up in ICU 2 days later on Mothers Day no less- they say the oxygen levels in my body dropped to 38% which apparently is really bad- I guess I got too happy on the pain pump and not wanting ti take in any oxygen!! Freaked out Hubby and my family, but at least I was awake..Ugh I hated being in there a week, but it was needed

Fast forward to today- June 10th- had 2 drians, BOTH are out but I am still leaking from some open wounds- Doc says its fine just keep myself gauzed up-yeah, he is not the one having to change clothes 3 times a day! LOL
Sticthes are out and my sutures are out- I am almost completely healed- the left side has healed great- the right side is still taking time in some areas but it happens, right?

( Could be from me having sex with Hubby a few days prior to getting my sutures out SHHH!! )

I have these, "wings" on each side of me from the TT- Ill have one more day surgery where he will remove them, make them nice and flat at the end of the month

Now, to my new Figure...........
OMG, OMG, OMG- yeah Im still swollen but WOW- I thought my hips left in high school!!
Ive always been bottom heavy- thick thighs and a round, nice sized booty- and now with this flat tummy??
Hubby HATES it when we go out shopping, because all you see are CURVES!!  I used to get looks, but living in texas, men love a curvy gal and I am damn curvy!! Im talking Kim Kardashian curves- well I will have those after this last surgery but damn, I look pretty sexy...I have lost an additional 15lbs, along with the 17.4 he removed- I am in LOVE with my leaky, still semi swollen body-I cannot wait until a few months down the line when Im all healed, no more leaking.

I bought a SEXY new dress for my 6 year anniversary, which is June 27th- My kids are like, "mommy you look good!" Im still on muscle relaxers and pain meds- I still need them because Im pulled SO TIGHT

Well, thats my update- Ill try to post pics tomorrow so you can see!!!

OH yeah, I didnt have to pay for a thing- insurance coevered the ENTIRE thing, and even covering the day surgery that I need later on this month...

Thansk for reading!!

Lol, having just had a facelift and tummy tuck myself in the last three months, I can totally relate to the enthusiasm you feel over your new image. It's wonderful, isn't it! I can feel how happy you are in the words that you type. Congratulations, and hope your healing continues to go well.

Congratulations on your great results!  What you are calling "wings", is that the same thing as "dog ears"?
