WORTH IT$5,700
4 weeks PO: I started my silicone scar treatment today. I've heard allot of good things about the silicone treatment. Over all swelling has gone down allot, I still swell in the evening real bad depending on what I do during the day. Most of my swelling is between my ribs and belly button. I've lost 3.5 inches in my waist and I am down 5lbs since pre surgery!!!!!

Looking good!! Swelling our biggest foe, I am ready to punch it in the face, LOL WOW I cant imagine how I will look when the swelling finally goes away!
I know, I have more swelling on my right side and above my belly button. I hope this is normal...
I know this thread is 6 or 7 years old but Dr Baker just done my TT. I'm 9dpo today. Just wondering if u ever needed lipo in upper abdomen later cuz they won't do it in that area at same time as TT due to blood supply issues. I'm 135 lbs 5'3. I had TT with MR only. No lipo at all. I didn't really need it but I may need just a lil lipo in upper area if this lil pudge isn't swelling. Im still swollen quite a bit. I'm a lil pudgy around bb area right now so it's hard to tell. He said anyone who needs lipo in upper abdomen will have to get it at 12 weeks after TT. If u get this message I'd like to ask u a few questions if u don't mind. With the dimples in your tummy it looks like Dr B done the same PTS on u as he done on me. I Just have a few questions about that if u get this msg. Thanks!!
Congrats on the weight loss! Woo hoo! Now let's get rid of that scar :-)
I am super excited to see your results! My surgery is on 18 May and I am going through DPS as well. Dr. Walding is doing mine though, so hopefully it is a similar result :) We are same height and I weigh about 5lbs more than you did pre-surgery. I have lost 130lbs and cannot wait to have your stomach ;) Congratulations again!!! You look fantastic :)
Thank you!!! I just had a check up this week and he said I still have swelling in my upper abdomen. I can't wait to see my final results. I can't wait to see your results!!!
You look awesome. Congrats on your results.

You are looking good! The scar is really low and thin.. good for you!
Thanks, I am getting impatient on seeing my final results!!
I know me too! My scar has been bandaged most of the time. Last week I ordered silicone sheeting and I can't wait to start treating it. Happy Healing!
I just ordered my silicone strips I hope they help with the healing!!
Glad your doing well. Swelling is a pain-but it will pass eventually.

Continued good healing.
Thank you Ramseur!! I'm not a patient person....
