Screw you swell hell, I'm a hot fox.

WORTH IT$6,000
So, I was all depressed last week, as I didn't experience major swelling to several months post-op. I think I "feel" more swollen than I look, as this picture was snapped on my vacay this week and I thought I looked great! So...hang in there, esp if you didn't start swelling til later.

You are looking fab!
You look fantastic!
Beautiful results :)
WOW, I just sort of stumbled across your review and really enjoyed reading about your journey - BTW, you look absolutely AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!! I chuckled about you keeping your story from others as I am doing the same - in fact, I told my work that I am having "female surgery" and don't care what their crazy ideas come up with. My surgery is not scheduled until Sept. 17th....ways to go but, I am happy that I can finally say in less than 3 months I will be on my way to the flat side. I truly hope I have as good and positive experience as so many others. It is SO depressing day after day getting dressed and doing everything possible to hide all the fat, flab, spare tire, pooch, love handles....yep, I got it all and hope my doc can take it all away. Well, suppose I better get off my soap box......hope you are rockin' that body of yours - I have not worn a bikini since I was 6 ..... dream that I can after surgery - we will see. Take care ~
LOVED all your stories! You are very funny! You look awesome with your daughter! Thanks for the info! I'm TT and lower facelift on June 26. 9 more days!

Still swelling 5 months later?

I swear I didn't swell much until the last few months. Sometimes I look like Spongebob after a salty meal...anyone else having this? It's kind of depressing. I'll post pictures in a few days....

So, I went back to work full time last week. I'm...

So, I went back to work full time last week. I'm not going to lie, I was dragging and uncomfortable at the end of the day. I went to bed early and 2nd day back was waayyy better. BB stitches removed at 14 days...still red but I just keep sticking antibacterial ointment. I can't believe how all the bruising went away and how light my scar is once the scabs came off. I'm a gymoholic and PS said nothing for 6 weeks (except walking on the treadmill). My energy level is back to pretty much normal. As far as swelling goes, I don't think I'm more or less swollen any time of the day, but I still know I'm swollen so won't stress. Two separate people thought I had a boob job, which was a nice bonus. I guess I just have more of a waist! My skinny jeans are loose (I haven't lost weight), but it AMAZING how different pants fit without that pooch. What a great journey this has been...if you are on the fence about it...just do it!

Looking GREAT!
I love how many runners are on here! I've done ten halves and two fulls. It will be do nice to run without the jiggling and joggling. :) You look fantastic!
so good to see you, doc! look at that itty bitty waist..so much definition! i have another appointment tomorrow and will keep you posted. in looking at our pics, it is funny how many things are signature of our PS...bb stiches, the small T incision, the curve of the incision and even our swelling. wild! i still have a small bump at the top of my T that is particularly swollen...and general swelling all over from BB down and around. but i am happy happy... and cannot believe how great the recovery has been. will be glad to get moving more after this week..registered for the Girls Just Want to have fun run in march! congrats on your progress and noticeably more perky figure! :)
You look AMAZING!!!!! Congrats.
