You look good. My tummy is huge and I go in Jan 28 for lipo. I am hoping to have a result half as good as yours. Keep up the tight garment girl it's working. You're my poster child.

That's so nice of you to say! There are some days where your mind thinks, "Is my stomach smaller? Really?" Those are the days where looking at Before photos and compliments like yours are positive reinforcements. To be honest, my doctor wants the garments to be too danged tight. I can hardly breathe in the garment in the photo. So I had to make a decision: tight garment for cosmetic purposes or oxygen and sanity? Hmmm? Now, I wear the tight-tight one (Lipo Express) during the day for as long as I can. And then I change to the less tight (but still snug) compression garment I bought from makemeheal.com. Please keep me posted on your upcoming surgery!

Are you feeling any pain or discomfort? I cant even see any of your adits. Mine look so bad. I really wish i didn't put neosporin on them. Are you still wearing the compression? My dr told me to switch to two pairs of spanx. I'm at home all day though so i still wear one pair and the compression ontop of it. The swelling is supposed to go down for us this week. My skin is starting to look loose and saggy now :/

Hola! No real pain. Only little twinges. If your skin is sagging then you need a tighter compression garment. (Goodness! I sound like my doctor. He is obsessed with tight compression garments.) But he has a point. He specializes in skin retraction after lipo. My flap (which was huge and floppy) is retracting and my skin is tightening. I know it has a lot to do with my compression garments. Also, not sure if you know this, but that is the secret behind celebrities' skin tight abs after having babies: compression girdles and garments. So there ya go. Think of the garment as remolding your abdomen. Your garment should be tight enough to pull your skin up (retract) and mold your belly to the shape you desire. If Spanx are too loose, or of they roll down, then they won't work to pull you up and in.

Elm, you are healing very well...I have a LOT of peeling to the degree that I will not post those pictures because they are too graphic. But my shaping up is a lot like yours. I look really nice in a pair of jeans and shirt that I put on 1 week post-opt, but that only lasted a "cute" minute. I don't want anything touching me right now...LOL. Not sure why I had so much peeling, from what I read, it seems to happen to people that tend to retain more fluid after the surgery. Nonetheless, you look GREAT!!!!!! Can't wait to see more pictures so that it will continue to encourage me! Take care.
