WORTH IT$7,575
Been awhile since I've updated my status. My trip to Hawaii was wonderful!!!! Great family time and my son came home with us. I'm so glad I had my surgery prior to my trip. We did a lot of hiking on lava rock, that extra flab hanging on my gut would have been made me miserable in the heat. I gained a few pounds on vacation so I'm working on getting them back off. I'm not sure if I'm swelling yet or if I pulled something in my stomach but I have a bigger pouch above my belly button now. I hate it because when I put pants on I have a roll above my jeans...my belly looked much better at 7 weeks PO, that has me puzzled.
I go back to see my doctor at the end of the month I hope he has some answers for me. I am exercising but I need to seriously work on my diet. I'm wearing size 14's now very confortably which makes me happy, haven't been in that size in many years!!! I'll try to get some new pics uploaded soon.
I hope everyone is healing and happy with their results.

This past week I was pretty swollen, but by the weekend it seemed to settle down. I stopped with the nurse this week so she could snip one of my popped stitches. She reasurred me that I am still swollen and that my pouch will not be there in a few months.
I'm down another pound or two. I did some shopping for my trip to Hawaii and I was able to buy size 14 shorts!!! Wooo Hooo, that was my goal a size 12 or 14. The exercise is paying off!
In 2 days I will be in Hawaii with my son, I am so excited and very nervous. Five months is a long time to not see your child...I can't wait to give him a big hug and kiss.
I'll post new pics when we return.
Aloha Ladies!!!! Have a great week!!!

Wow, 8 weeks....doesn't seem possible. Feeling great even with this swelling...till the end of the night I look pregnant. I haven't been wearing my garment during the day at all, I just wear the binder to bed. Maybe I'll go back to the garment during the day. I just don't want to feel dependent on it like I was. I enjoyed being able to slip my pants/shorts on with a pair of panties.
One more week till I leave for Hawaii, I can't wait to see my son!!!
I hope everyone is doing great!
Take care, Suzanne

Finally I find someone with results like mine. Swelling in the same areas and not totally flat! Healing takes time! Thank you for sharing!

The swelling is frustrating. Mine almost looks like I'm 5 months pregnant. I was flat at first. I see the nurse tomorrow and I'm going ask her again if my swelling is normal. I'm not very patient and I'm afraid this won't flatten out.

I hear ya! My ps said I was flat and tight on the table, she's like what happened. She tried to asperate twice while drains were in and said really nothing was coming out. I see her Friday and hope she affirms that it's just swelling. I increased my water and I massage three times a day. Still not walking straight and I am getting a BA & BL done as soon as she can get me back on the table. I work from home so I don't have to worry about that and lately I haven't been working, lol. I overdid it today and gave myself a fever and a headache so now just resting and will do that all day tomorrow. I was drinking sooo much pineapple juice for swelling, I thought I was going to poop a pineapple. I have also read that the pooch may come from muscle weakness. I will ask her about that too.
