Asked By:jjab1999 in Houston, TX

3800 mililiters fat taken. I've worn my Dr.s bodysuit daily since. My postop appt I lost 10". I had abdomen/waist/bra rolls done. Should be smaller. Got a fajas post partum binder, not sure if it gives enough compression, tight tho. Am I gaining weight back or swollen from not wearing binder & only marena bodysuit garments. My Drs staff (3 hrs away) says im to wear my stuff for 6 months daily. I'm so afraid my surgery didn't work. Will my tummy shrink still? I'm 39" around belly button.
