Hey folks. Had my TT today. They removed 6 pounds of skin. 2 giant pieces like the one on the picture. I'll get some photos of me posted as soon as I'm able, but wanted to let everyone know it all went well.

I'm in the hospital tonight and I'll go home tomorrow. I've got 3 drains....how in the world do you folks walk around in public with these things?

The doc came in earlier and opened up the binder for a second to take a look....holy crap! I don't recognize myself. It's so unbelievable. Now let the recovery begin.

Btw not much pain right now, morphine is awesome!!!!

So this is half of what they cut out.

Today is day 20 post op. Everything is looking and feeling great. Still a little sore but not bad. Energy levels are slowly coming back. Swelling varies from day to day but overall has not been bad at all. I feel great about it's turned out. Clothing fits completely different now....but in a good way. Oddly, I can only find one VSG scar now. The rest were cut out or have faded to the point I can't see them at all.

1. Does the incision itch a lot?

2. Did you put another roll of toilet paper on the toilet paper holder thingy?

At this point the incision does not itch much, it really hasn't. But there are odd pockets of numbness right next to areas that seem more sensitive than ever. It's a weird feeling.

And, since I've owned this house, I've never put a roll on the roller thingie. I hate the roller thingies. I like the roll in my hand. That's how I roll.

Nice flat stomach there. Congratulations! Now tell me: how much are you missing your runs?? Also, can you put a picture of before and after (the most recent one) side by side?

You look awesome. Glad you are recovering well. Before you know it you will be running the trails and pumping Iron.

Love it, Butter!
