1 month post op update w/ picture

Feeling pretty good, swelling is still bad in the afternoon. I'm using mederma 3xs a day along with palmers once a day b/c the mederma makes my skin peel. I feel like my tummy could be flatter but suspect its swollen...still better than what I started with so I should be grateful!

Hey Prissy! I'm finally 5 days post op! the Drains are about ready to come out and GOD If I caugh, Pray for me! haha!! thank goodness for Valiums as well. I believe that day 3 was the WORST Suicidal day EVER known to Man but due to my fault. Glad that it's over. Actually did some walking around with my mom today at a store for about 2 hrs and made it! Needless to say it's 9pm and I'm back in the bed lOL bt I mad it anyhow! ... I went yesterday for the DR to remove some of the bandages and I can say i look even smaller.. so excited but will be soo glad when these drains come out!

Thanks guys! I feel great, the swelling normally starts in the afternoon but gets better everyday, since I've added vitamin b-12 complex to my routine I feel much better!

You look very good, I can not see the swelling. You are healing quickly. How do you feel?
