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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
