I made it thru my 1st week back at work. and I am feeling pretty good. Have the tighting in my abs and still pretty swollen. (YUK) I can fit into my old jeans and most of my clothes and I did get a few new scrubs size small and x-small....first time in a long time I have been in a small anything. It is a wonderful feeling. althought I still look in the mirrow and think who's body is that? I started putting the scarcare on this morning and hoping it will help the scars they are very fine and look ok now but this road has only just began. I am a little worried about my right nipple it looks almost square to me maybe its the way its swollen I dont know but I am going to talk to my PS about that when I go back in November. If anyone else has a problem with that I would love to hear about it. Other then that issue everything else seems to be doing fine.

Your results look amazing!! Don't worry about the swelling...it will go down but it takes a while. I am five months out and continue to notice the changes every week. It just continues to get better and better. I will post my six month pictures in mid October. You look great and I am so glad to hear you are feeling well.

Glad to know you're doing well. You're looking good, don't worry all that swelling gets better slowly and comes back sometimes so don't freak out. Keep pics updated as you heal. So happy for you!

Well I'm at 4 weeks and felling really good just the tight feeling. Which after all the flab and fat I had I don't mind at all. It feels great to reach down and actually feel a flat tummy. My sweetie laughs at me when I say I'm swollen now it has become a running joke at our house. I am so excited we went to get me shorts because here in Texas u can wear shorts almost all year around. Anyway I tried a few sizes and I ended up in a size 4 I'm so excited.

Ok I finally figured out how to add before pics, I am going to my 1 week pre-op appt at 3:00 today so I will get some pre-op pics. Wish me luck first time to see my new belly button and the scar I'm a little scared. Ok, take a breath and relax.

Had my 1 week post-op appt today it went well PS says I am healing well. He removed one my right drain but kept the left drain till Friday just to be on the safe side. ( better safe then sorry) and removed the stiches in my belly button I couldn't feel a thing so not bad at all. Asked about what bra to use and he said could us which ever one I felt most comfortable with at this point seeing how my lift was done only with a vertical mastopexy which I am very pleased with. and here are a few after pics I am really, really swollen. Can't wait to see a final results hate being so swollen. YUK!!!!!!!!!
