6 Month Update!!!

It's been 6 Months!!! So as happy as I was with the outcome once all the swelling completely went away I was able to see the final results and there was still a little bit of sagging around the top of my stomach and my left side so currently looking at just getting that minor little adjustment fixed and I should be good to go! What I currently have is still a major improvement on what I had before however if I can't just get these minor little things fixed up I will be super happy! I did meet with the surgeon and he has suggested to just do a minor scar revision early next year just to really get it where it needs to be so I'm super happy about that!! Keep in mind the below picture was straight after my first laser treatment so it is super red so it won't look like that however you can see some slight sagging at the bottom which will be fixed up. Because I was going for the revision we also didn't have as many laser treatment or treatment on some of the area as it will be operated on again.

A bit of background!

Welcome! So to start off I will give you a little background about myself. 3 years ago I started a weight loss journey by changing my lifestyle through diet and exercise...I know I should of started this blog earlier right...but anyway this has lead me to lose almost 60kg and with that comes a lot of excess skin! Skipping ahead, after a tonne of research (over 12 months) and many doctors appointments to find the perfect surgeon for my situation, I selected to go with Dr Geoff Barnett from Cosmetic surgery for Women and Men in Hawthorn East. https://plasticsurgeons.com.au/dr-geoff-barnett/ After going to the free information nights they hold and being armed with a heap of questions, once I was satisfied with everything I was ready to jump in and go ahead. 6 months ago I underwent a Breast Lift and Arm lift to fix my sagging breasts and excess skin on my arms (also with Geoff Barnett)...I know another thing I should of documented...however fast forward to today and I have decided t

OMG the day has arrived!!

So the day of the Tummy Tuck operation has finally arrived! To say that I am nervous is an understatement. It is definitely a different kind of feeling going into this surgery. The previous surgery was all about excitement... Let's be honest I was getting amazing new boobs...this time around although I am getting an amazing new stomach major abdominal surgery is not to be taken lightly. Let me stress no surgery should be taken lightly but I am much more terrified of going under for this than I was for the last one! The last surgery I had was a long one (about 7hrs) and being a surgery where I can't use my arms I figured that's gotta be the worst one right? Get that out of the way first? I may have underestimated what I am about to go through! Although this one is much shorter (I believe about 4hrs) I think I may be in for a harder recovery than the last and I may have just realised that you do in fact use your abdominal muscles for pretty much everything! Ha ha! Although n

I'm Home!!!!!

I am home!! So I didn't have the best sleep for my last night in hospital but it was more to do with being a little uncomfortable in the binder and finding a good position than any pain although I did have to ask for panadol at about 4am because of a headache. As far as the incision pain goes I have been taking slow release pain killers so I am actually surprised how well they are working at minimising the pain. So last night I was able to be a bit more mobile, I am standing upright and I walked around the ward a couple of times just to keep moving. I had my last blood thinning injection last night however I still need to keep the compression socks on at home and walk around to prevent blood clots. I had a visit from Dr Barnett's nurse, Jenny before I was discharged this morning to check on my progress and after this my final drain tube was removed. I am also super happy in the fact that I have now mastered the hook and eye clasps on my compression binder that are right in
