Almost 1 month

Okay, so I love going into work because my coworkers constantly are telling me I look sexy. I don't mind that since sexy is what I'm looking for lol. I am down from 176.6 (after surgery weight) to 167. All my scars have healed including the problem child. I'm lumpy but it's more like big lumps. I'm taking arnica tabs orally and I massage with arnica gel and cream every night. Still using the Scaraway silicone gel patches, not sure if there's an improvement but from what I've researched I have to do it for two complete months. I finally set an appointment for my first follow up which will be dec 17.
I haven't measured my self this week however last week I was bra line 34 (down 2 inches) waist 32 (down 6 inches) biggest part of my belly 37 (down 6 inches) and hips still the same (that's good tho).
I have pics I'm not too happy with my back and I feel like my upper abs were not done. When I lay down you can tell that it's a lot more fatty and honestly I never got sore there or had any pain so I'm guessing it wasn't done. I let my doctors office know and they will be addressing it at the follow up. Also I put on a bra to take pics and my back fat showed up again. I'm talking about the sides, and of course by bra is loose due to it being a 36 and now I'm a 34. I guess time will tell:)

I started doubling up on compression lol now I wear my compression garment and a clincher with boning. I think I'm addicted and it's my security blanket ...what will I do when I don't need to wear it anymore.

2 week update

So I went back to work 1 week after the procedure, although I only planned to return on day five lol. Now I'm much better I'm addicted to my compression garments, I have worn several and had them taken in because I love the tight feeling. All my incisions have healed except for my problem child. I've started wearing Scaraway silicone patches over the healed incisions and it's doing a great job of lightening the wounds. I'm really swollen, aunt flow came to town with a vengeance :( I have developed lumps mostly on the side of the problem child incision and around my lower belly. I massage with arnica gel every night. I even went and got a lymphatic drainage massage however it felt like a regular massage so I turned around and said massage my stomach, and I'm not kidding when she felt my stomach I could tell she was grossed out by the lumps hahaha. I took measurements of my bra line, waist, biggest part of my belly and hips. Here are the changes...
Bra line 36 to 35
Waist 38 to 33
Biggest part of my belly 43 to 37
Hips 42 same
And here are the pictures :)

Day 6 front view ... So happy

So today was the end of day six, I'm almost done with my antibiotics the two incisions on my bra roll have pretty much healed the one in my belly button healed the quickest, my pubic incision and the left side abdomen is doing good, however my problem child on the right abdomen is healing fairly slowly compared to the others. I've been sore but each day it gets better and better. I can't imagine how some of the reviews state they went back to work a couple of days later . There was no way I could! I've been sore, not a painful sore but sore like you worked out too much and you just don't want to move. I scheduled four days of off work and have taken 3 extra days and won't officially return till Friday. So I should be ready to go. I'm a banker so I sit and stand all day long, and that's been the hardest part of the recovery. So I think from from view is looking good but my side view is still me. And my back looks the same so far. I'll post the front view. Can't wait to see how this is going to look in a few weeks... Very happy so far!

Dr. Anderson and Aman the nurses assistant were great, the doctor was very knowledgeable and did an awesome job making sure I was comfortable, the worst part was the numbing needle after that it was smooth sailing.
