Hey everyone...just wanted to let ya'll know I did go through w/my FDL TT this past Friday and all is well. I have done nothing but sleep (and scratch - I'm sooo ITCHY) since then but pain is nicely managed so I'm okay.  I am super swollen which is a bit disappointing but after all these years of research, i should know by now it's part of the process. Still so much to do to get where I want to be but each step takes me just a lil bit closer. . .I'll be copying this post to DS forum as well...

Your results look wonderful! Congrats on being on the healing side.

I had my LBL with BL on Jan 24 so now am about 11 days out and I am so with you on the ITCHY. I feel like I could just claw into everything I itch so bad! I have been taking Benadryl like crazy to try to keep it under control. What have you been doing about yours?

Again, congrats-you look super!

 Gorgeous work! Congratulations.you must be over the moon happy.

Could you be having an allergic reaction to the tape?  I never did itch but some complain about the tape.

YOU MUST BE THRILLED!  Your photos took my breath away, literally.  In order to see, my computer enlarges everything  a lot.  All I saw was a little of the top photo.  Once I scrolled down and saw the after, I gasped.  You look amazing.  I'm really happy for you.  What a journey you have been on.  Congratulations.  I can't wait to see your updates when the swelling is one.

Wow!  You should be proud of yourself.  I can't get over how much work you've done to improve yourself and your health.  Wow! Again!

I had issues with the tape.  It was good to get it off.  I think the nerves healing make you itch too.  I would use cool damps clothes to get through the worst of it.

You are looking great.  I had the Fleur de lis & brachioplasty 9 months ago.  Healing was slow for me and my belly is still sore and really tight.  Best wishes to you.

Thank you ladies for all your encouragement! It really is appreciated.  I think I'm over the hump of having the surgery for the most part. I had a LOT of pain and swelling last night but woke up this morning and though my JPs were super juicy, I felt 10x better. I am now on OTC pain meds and hoping I will have wow! moments like I did with the weight loss. 
In any case, will keep ya'll updated as necessary. Thanks for being here!
