One month post TT, I feel great!
Wow, I never expected results like this from my TT! I still have swelling, but couldn't be happier with my TT. Dr. Angeles did an amazing job with what he had to work with. He told me that they beat me up pretty hard to get it this amazing and I'm so glad he did. I haven't had any problems. I only had one drain and it was taken out at my 2 week follow up. I'm back at work full-time, just taking it easy and recognizing when I'm overdoing things.
I wanted to include a before & after pic here but can't figure out how to include it in the message or to post it in my photos! If someone can tell me how to include it here, I will! I'm so in love :).
Congrats!!! I am two weeks behind you from my TT and arm lift. I am already liking what I see of my results also. It is just so weird to look down and see a flat tummy.......it is an amazing feeling! Only problem is now I'm also looking down at my thighs and thinking ......wow.....they don't look so hot. I'm still having a little discomfort if I walk too much and when I'm getting up or down. My doc said he beat me up hard too....lol.
Good luck,
Kathy
Vicki, sorry I couldn't see your before and after pictures I hate it when a few people ruin it for others! I too had a TT 5 weeks ago. My story sounds very similar to yours, looks like I could have written your story, other than having no recliner I slept on the couch. My lifesaver was the walker. It helped lower me to the couch as well as the toilet. Question: are you having terrible spasms in your midriff area? OMG! It's driving me crazy...how about you?
