Thought I would add the boobs here too so I can refer back when my plastics are finished at the end of 2017.

I had cream on the 2nd picture and just three weeks out.

So glad it did... keep up with the pain meds and you will feel MUCH better when the drains are out.

I bet you can't wait to see your new tummy (through the swelling of course lol)

*Gentle hugs*

Did the same surgeon do all the work? If yes, they are seriously talented in many areas. Great results! Your eyes, especially, look amazingly natural and youthful.

What's the recuperation time for the TT in terms of staying out of work/lifting?

Yes, the same surgeon did all the work. I am seeing him for my 4 week check up on Monday. I might have to hug him !! I was in surgery for over 6 hours.

I had an extended TT with a lot of muscle repair and was told 6 weeks off work.

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous!!! I want my boobs done. I JUST said yesterday that I look like a little boy because i'm seriously flat chested now...I've had mosquito bites that are bigger than my boobs! I can't afford the extra 5k right now so i suppose I'll just have to live with being the president of the itty bitty titty comity.

Find a nice push up bra that adds a cup size.

My eyes are still very swollen and tight but no pain at all, even right after the op which surprised me!
Kate

You look great, but how do you afford all this?

Your eyes look amazing. I look more like your first photo. I want desperately to get my eyes done. I'm scared that the surgeons will botch it up. Who did you go to and how much was it. I know that my insurance won't pay for it. I would take the flight to England to get my eyes done. My sleeve was done 5/25/16. Is it still too soon to get the eyes done?

They are still quite swollen in that recent photo but perfect now they have settled down.

Ian Whitworth was the surgeon. I had 5 procedures done at the same time and he did them all. Very gifted man!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
