Hey Kids! So I am on the Willy Wonka Ever Lasting Stall and gave up o the monthly update and pics until I saw some scale action.... but luckily in the meantime I had a TT and each month I get to see some change in that! So this is my shine until the weight thing happens! lol I am 3 months post TT/lipo and my swelling in the lower pubis area is finally minimalizing each day so I am now a bit happier each month as things settle in! Thanks for all the support no matter what I come to rant or rave about guys! Check me out!

Hey Jennifer, yes it did hurt-more than the Gastric Bypass but that's only because the GB was laprascopic...6 little slits that didn't even require a band aid, FAIL in comparison to a huge hip to hip incesion and drains! Yea it did suck, and it's a LONG road to recovery...( first you stand straight, then the bandage comes off, then the drains come out, then you have to focus on getting the swelling down, THEN you commit to scar care for like a year....ughhh!) BUT in the end, which for me, even now just at 3 months...TOTALLY WORTH IT! Soooo much happier! I can say this with the utmost modesty because I never cared about the icky recovery or ugly scar or freaked out about things not looking PERFECT... I just wanted the spare tire gone..so I am satisfied! I am even looking ahead for the thighs! Good luck!

You look so good! I love looking at your month to month progression because you can totally see the difference! I am freaking swollen and feel preggers now, but i feel confident it will get better, i mean im only 2 weeks out! And we have the same underwear from VS, so i'm sure thats a sign!

Reece, you have totally been one of my two go-to girls since I have had my surgery. Ever since I joined I have always kept up with your progression because of our age, surgery date, and even our plastic surgery decesion-and yes the PINK underwear bring us full circle. I have always thought you looked so geat and could NOT believe you had any belly on you under the clothes-seriously have you seen my pre op belly-again we were one in the same! I am so behind in accepting the way I look and realizing numbers mean nothing in the gand scheme of things, but it helps so much when I see how identical of an experience we share even with your digits being lower than mine. I was so excied for you to get your new bod, I was just waiting for you to come on the boards and be a little worry wart so I couldth share of advice and outcome! Believe me girl, I went through every little scary thought you are- just like the GB when I was convinced it was a flop 2 weeks out, I was sure I was going to look like a mutilated version of what I was before after the TT, but here's proof there's light, AND CUTE UNDIES at the end of the tunnel! ;)

I'm glad it's normal, or i'm normal anyways. I'm still swollen as a whale but you know, thats normal too! I think it's cause im pretty active for 2 weeks out, i can't just lay around and heal, it makes me feel more sick! I'm going back to work tommorow after a drs appt and i'm not excited about that but i've gotta do it! Thanks for all your advice, it is sooo appreciated! :)

Ooooh the moving around thing? Yea that's the one thing the doc kept asking me when I was stuck with the drains forever! He said he had only had one other lady with drains for like 2 months but sh was out dancing in the clubs! I definatly was not doing that but did notice a lot of swelling an drainage after school because I'd been walking and doing stairs..what can you do-not everyone can sit around! Have fun at work, I was in the stupid binder and a drain hanging on my scrubs when I went back.... ugh the memories!
