?Jan surgery countdown?

Five days until my Full tummy tuck, Breast lift w Augmentation!
I am so excited but getting pretty nervous now that it’s fast approaching. COVId test is on Monday!
Did anyone second guess the CCs they chose?
I find myself saying: Are they going to be too big?
If I go down on CC will I wish I had stuck w the original CC I chose. Think it’s just nerves. I know I chose right for myself.
?Glad I have my PS buddies @chubrub and @kristieshannon and past PS peeps to look to for helpful hints and support!?

When I had arm incisions I used thin maxi pads or mini pads (can't remember which) to prevent anything from rubbing against them. I just taped them into my arm pit to cover as much as I could. It worked great.


It really helps. I actually use those along my TY incision so my binder doesn’t rub it.

Hi everyone! Has any one struggled with walking enough bc of how cold it is? I live in MI, sleeved on 1/13 and I don’t feel like I get near enough walking done by just walking around the house. Any recommendations are welcome too!

I live in south Texas (Houston)
so don’t have that problem lol anytime it’s been “cold” by Texas standards I still don’t mind walking in it.
Congrats on your sleeve!!

I go out for a run or a walk or a hike every day. If I'm not running, I'll just pile on a bunch of warm clothing plus the appropriate outerwear. I even started wearing my mask during these outings cuz they really help to keep me warm!

(If I'm running I wear much less...for mobility, plus i generate enough warmth with the exertion).

P.S. I'm in Toronto so prolly similar weather as you ❤️

3 weeks PO-
Had an appt yesterday to check everything and all looks great! Still swollen above the incision line on the TT but that’s is completely normal. We took tape off of TT and breasts this week as well.
Almost walking straight up. Feeling great and VERY happy with my results!
Awesome! Glad you’re doing well ❤️

Wondering how long until I can get an all clear to work out fully. Right he wants me just doing light cardio. No weights what so ever. ESP upper body.
Right now I’m just doing treadmill?

From personal experience: LISTEN TO UR DOC. I tried exercising too early, too many times, and paid a price (kept reopening incisions).
