almost 3 months post op- new pics added

Hey Ladies,
Wow its been almost three months. I still have alot of swelling. Well I hope its swelling. My results are good but I really wish more would have been taking off. Some days I get upset because I think this is my final results. But then I just have to keep reminding myself that I still have a long road ahead of me. 6 months to a year right!!! I have hard round lumps under my incision for the tt. Waiting for my body to absord possible dead fat, or soften major scar tissue, swelling etc. If its not gone by January gonna take a trip to see my doc and have him cutt it out. It hurts sometimes.

Like my breast! Big difference. Though they were gonna be boxy at first but as the swelling went down they took on a more natural look. Think they are gonna be very beautiful when the scars fade. Even though I was told no upper pole fullness by my doc I was still expecting some lol. Nope, didnt happen. I was wrong.

Flanks are still large, arm pit fat is gone, tummy still sticking off. Please, please, be swelling. Im so going back if this is my final results. I know its a huge improvment but I wanted that flat tummy.

Still very happy with my Doc decesion. To see what he was able to do with my messed up body to now is quite amazing.

Still not down to the 151 mark on the scale. Seen it one day about a week ago. Usually still around my pre op weight of 158. Has to be swelling. Im in the gym everyday, and have a very active job. Eatting good, etc. Even started insanity workout. Will post more in two months after my insanity. Bye ladies, Happy healin!

Hi Ladies,

Well everything is going well. I am now 13 days post op and feeling well. I am taking things easy. I am not lifting anything over 5 lbs. I can take off glue/tape tomorrow. Nervous to see my scar.

Questions:
1) im really thick on my incision, is this just swelling of is it fat?
2) when people talk about their incision opening from infection is there a magic number when your in the clear?
3 when do you regain feeling in your skin?
4) does anyone else really hurt when they laugh? Its only in my incision and it feels like someone is pouring acid deep in me. OMG! My abs hurt of course but that really stings.


Thanks ladies

yay me!!!! No more drains. I went to pee last night and pulled them out accidently. They did not come out all the way but far enough that the holes in the tube were exposed. All of a sudden it made this loud sucking noise and then my drain reservoir was full of air. So when I went to my post op nurse appointment this morning they just plucked them out.

She took off all or my dressings today and i seen my tummy scar. Its a semi circle ladies! I have no stitches. My doc used a mesh and glue paint to close my incisions. Very nice.

I am very swollen now. Had to go to my appointment then walked for twenty mins to the bus stop. Caught the bus then walked up a hill for ten mins. Now I am swollen.

Hows all the girls doing?
