Yesterday was Day 21 and I did much better at work. I stood most of the day again and didn't have near as much pain as when I sat for long periods at a time. The steri strips are still well adhered to the TT incision. Both drain holes have healed over now and I don't have to tape on the gauze pads anymore. I was suppose to have my 3 week check-up yesterday but I cancelled the appointement until next Thursday as I am still trying to catch up at work and just don't need to be taking off another day so soon after taking off 12 days. The nurse said that I can start to wean myself off of wearing the binders. I asked her what she meant...stop for an hour a day or 2 or 3? She said most people don't feel comfortable without wearing them and it takes them awhile before they feel like they don't need them anymore. Not me!!!! It feels so much better without them! Today is the first day that I'm not wearing them and I'm at work and I feel a lot better!!!! I've already had two work associates come up to me this morning and tell me that I look like I've lost weight! One of them said I look like I've lost 20 lbs! OMG! The feeling is just so amazing to get compliments on my body! GETTING THE VSG AND TT WERE THE TWO BEST DECISIONS THAT I HAVE MADE IN MY LIFE THAT WAS JUST FOR "ME" IN A VERY LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG TIME!

I had this conversation with my doc yesterday.. he said for sure you will want to have surgery.. because no matter how hard you try.. the skin will prolly not go back to its natural way.. so with that said.. he said wait about 18mo to 24 mo before I do that.. I said ok no problem.. and he said he was sure my insurance would pay for that if it was medically necessary..and he said he could fix that too.. LOL I love my Doc.. thank you for everything..and my nurse Brenda.. she is the best nurse anyone could have.. I cant wait to be a new me.

I am getting sleeved in Tijuana on March 6. I know in two years the prices may be totally different. But, do you mind telling how much your plastic surgery was in Tijuana? I just want to get an idea of how much I need to start saving for my next journey.
