wow i havent been on in a long time i am so sorry to everyone who has written me. slacker!! I am 7 months post op! I have to say right at 4 weeks i felt 90% back to myself again! i went on vacation, went hiking, walking, dancing, paintballing, go carting, literally 90% normal! been feeling great ever since at 5 mths post op i started insanity workouts and turbo fire and have been dropping even more inches! I do have one small complaint. my body is still spitting some dissolvable stitches that havent disolved (jeesh body just dissolve them already) so I do have a small hole on my scar that i have had to get poked at twice and stitches pulled out and I have a appt tomorrow because anohter poked out this week. I am guessing they are coming out more now becuase i have been doing some intense ab workouts and the muscles are pushing them closer to the skin. no infections though just a little tenderness! my doc is amazing and I have seen him every 2 weeks since i hit the 2 month mark just for checkups and to make sure everything is running smooth. I also had some ultrasound therapy in the first 2 mths to smooth out my lipo areas which i think worked cause they look pretty good! I will post a few pics but i need to take more! once again so sorry for not updating. happy holidays

so glad I found your review. I am 5wks and now have 5 staples coming thru. One caused a huge hole and PS removed what he could of it last week. So frustrating. I know I am not 100% because of it. How is your doing?

Sorry ladies sorry on the slacker-ness of my updates. Things are going ok. so the holes in my incision.... apparently my body doesn't dissolve things, my ps used plastic staples which aren't dissolving, instead they r creating holes and pushing themselves out. ugh!!!! sucks so i go to the doc tomorrow and im sure he will take more out since they are poking through the skin... not a great feeling! Also, I have a rash on my face, I was thinking it was from anthesia but now its been 4 weeks and its still there?? boo! has a anyone else had these issues or any experience with dissolvable staples? I cant find much info about them anywhere! :( ok so enough of the sob story! my boobs look great! 1 on the right still has to move down more but it looks fine never the less. My lipo is less sore everyday although I do have to say the lipo areas have been the sorest so far! My swelling is still going down. Tip... Massage ur lipo areas in the shower with a bar of soap! it is the perfect shape and glides smoothly over lipo areas. ok so wish me luck tomorrow! i am praying he wont say he has to cut me open and remove them. updated pics from 3 weeks too! more to come soon!

hi everyon, i've had a few rough days. i am really swollen. i feel like i am 4 mths pregos. I have been working 9 hr shifts at work and i work with 2 year olds so there is a lot of getting up and downs, then I come home and cook and bathe my kids then make lunches clean up and by that point i am exhausted and haven't had much rest so im sure that is my swelling problem. i still have some holes in my incision from the infection i am on antibiotics and prescription antiseptic, i just hope it heals nicely. I go on vacation to my hometown in 2 weeks and i was hoping my scar would be healed a little more and my breasts would be softer and also the lip areas will have softened oh yea... and swell hell! we will see, i hope so cause my sis-in-law is having her wedding and i get to see a lot of my old friends. My tatas are still great though so i should be happy about that. love them. the right one is sitting a smudge higher still though! Also weird question did anyone else lactate?? Only my 1 right breast has a little. doc said it is normal but i think it is weird! i will post some pics but they are from a few days ago so soon i will take more. next post-op is saturday i will update after :) hope all u marvelous mamas are doing great :)

haha yes my husband refers to it as cut open like a fish! My right one is slowly moving down. i heard it can take like 3 mths-12mths. ug. But i also heard it is more common for it to drop more slowly on the side you use more often. Oh well at least it isn't really that noticeable except to me :) r u just waiting on 1 of yours or both? FYI u r looking so hot, you don't even look that swollen! im completely jealous! :)
