Thanks for sharing this stuff with us. Im having a TT in June and want to know everything. Did they say how long before you can take a shower? Lol thats what I worry about, cuz I know ill want to take one asap. After lap RNY I could take one when I got home and I know I felt 1,000,000,000,000% better after I did.

Feel better each day Heidi!!!

No word on the shower yet but I did get to wash the blood out of my hair which made me feel so much better.  I cant stand up so I cant imagine a shower right about now, maybe after Monday, we shall see. Hugs Heidi

I'm already saving up for what I know will have to be. More surgery. I know I will need a tummy tuck more hopful they will do a body lift. BCBS will cover some of it for sure and oddly most likely will cover the wings and face lift but not the boob job. My goal after I hit my weight is to do a lot of working out for toning up then start off getting the tummy and hips done. Next the wings and face. And finally save up the money to get a boob lift and inplants. Unlike most of the women in my family I never did get the endowment it would be nice to have cleavage for once without wearing a corset or pushing my hands together just to get the impression. Your talking about this all helps a lot so I can see what is in store. The thing is I know I have to have the tummy tuck anyway the c-sections I had made it so I have very little control of my adomen muscles so even if I work out that area is just not going to go away. I have known people who have had the surgery and you will get better just take it easy and keep yourself clean and dry. The swelling will go down as will the pain and in a few months you will love the new you.

I did my neck and tummy together in case it sucked so bad I never went back and right about now thats how I feel, so I might be able to fly with my bat wings forever.  I am thinking of taking a new pic tonight of how it looks today for everyone to see.  Its better I think, still swollen but not nearly as bad as it was.  My face and neck are killing me though, that I could do without. Hugs Heidi

Heidi, you were so beautiful before, so don't know if there was room for improvement, however YOU will feel better about the extra skin being gone and that is what is important. Will no doubt be swelling for some time  from the tummy tuck, but I know you're going to be so happy with the results and will look forward to pics. in the near future. You young ones are so brave and I admire you.  Best wishes. Bev of Ormond Beach

Just give it time like all other surgeries you will forget the pain and enjoy the after effects.
