I tried Thermitight for my underarm jiggle on Dec. 2nd. I could immediately notice a difference in the texture of the skin on the bicep side of my arms and definitely see some tightening on the underarm triceps. Since the area is expected to improve over the next few months I am excited to see how it goes. I am also doing thermi smooth on knees, backs of thighs and face. I want to do thermitight on my thighs and knees next. I am looking through real self for people that have had that done!

Updating 14 months since Tummy Tuck!

It's been 14 months and I am so happy with my tummy tuck. Thank you Dr White!! I got my groove back! I'll try and post new, updated pictures ASAP! I'd do it now but I'm hooked up to a Cool Sculpting thigh machine right now! I had my inner knees done several weeks ago and now I'm doing outer thighs. There is no pain and you can truly sit and watch tv while the fat freezes. It is not the immediate results of a tummy tuck surgery but I can't seem to find a surgery to "fix" my legs. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could. So I'm trying Cool Sculpting! I'll keep everyone posted!

Karey, I'm so excited to see some updated pics! I'm happy you are doing so well and loving your results still. I have been looking into Cool Sculpting for my inner and outer thighs so please let me know if you are pleased with your results. So happy for you and hopeful my turn will be coming soon!

I haven't seen any change but I will keep you posted! I did inner knees 4 weeks ago and then continued the following week with outer thighs and then inner thighs. The only pain was about a week after outer thighs Little stabbing prickles for tw days. My dermatologist said the area was becoming unfrozen from the procedure.

I'm adding a few pictures. I'm not great with a camera so please disregard the shadows! I feel great and still wearing my one piece compression gear during the day at work and to work out. On top of that I wear my corset. In my job I am standing for five hours, bending up and down, and lifting luggage so I feel safer in my CG and corset. I'm back at the gym 3x's a week with my trainer that stays away from my core. We are working hard on my legs. They seem worse now that my torso area is gorgeous :). We are also working on strong arms and back.

I have not had any regrets or sad days since my surgery. Still love my belly and my decision!!

I can't believe how wonderful your results are!! I was wondering if I should continue to wear a cg even though it is no longer required by my ps. I am 2 months post op and I am glad that I saw that you are. I think that it will enhance the results. I haven't had any regrets either. In fact, I feel so good about myself and it shows in the way that I dress and my attitude. I'm going to go and look up Flexies now. :) Thanks!

My next appointment is Monday so I will keep you posted on what my doctor says. I think the CG has kept my scar flat and have never had swelling in my scar area. It works for me. I think swelling happens when I have too much salt and when I'm constipated. (Sorry abt tmi). I'm so glad you are doing well too!!

Thank you!!! I bet you are amazing now. I'm back at the gym 3x's a week!

you look great, I'm so happy for you that are back at the gym!! You made me laugh with the comment about your legs seeming worse now. Too funny. So fortunate to not have any real swelling, I will follow your example with the cg and corset and hopefully that helps me too. Good luck with everything!!

Dr. White even had me in a layer of foam for the first two weeks under the CG and binder! He has been right so far!!

Yeah, that's a lot of compression, I'm sure it played a major factor in your minimal swelling. I am grateful for all the tips you have given me and answers to my numerous questions. I'm excited but also very scared for some reason. I hope and pray for results like yours!

You look GREAT!!! I understand completely what you mean about your legs. I'm feeling the same way - oh and I can't stand my arms now too! lol I'm 6 months and I still wear my CG occasionally - in fact I wore it every day up until the 5th month. It seemed to help. Still swelling even at 6 months every afternoon/evening and its terrible after working out - which is 5 days a week. I figure its just part of the healing process so it is what it is.

I wear mine always to work out! I strayed once at work and wore a Fredericks of Hollywood corset this week! Then went back to my CG and corset today...
