WORTH IT$6,000
New post and update 4 1/2 month approximately. I am still down a pants size from a 16 to a 14. I have lost a total of of 17 lbs since surgery. Still swelling as expected. I am sure it wil subside eventually when my thyroid in my abdomenre attaches. I am happy with the results. I still could use some lypo I was unable together during FT due to my hysterectomy but I am ok with that. I wore a one piece on the beach with no shorts covering my stomach or no crappy swim dress for the first time in 15 years and it felt Awesome.

Ok Ladies, Its been 4 months and I am finally back to normal. Boy it has been rough but honestly worth every minute. All openings in my stomach are closed and all is well. I do wish I could not feel pulling around the incision but I am sure it will go away soon also swelling YES I STILL SWELL! What the heck ....At the end of the day I am swollen. I do continue to wear a waist cincher the girdle type so it reduces swelling and it is better than a panty girdle.

Hello, I still swell as well, it starts about 7 at night. LOL I am also stating to close, since my incision opened back up on May 14th. I sometimes wonder was it because we had way to much skin removed? I guess we will never know really. Do you get muscle spams at night or when you are sleeping and switch positions? I know I do its weird. I feel my abs tighten I think it is because I am still healing. Have a great day

Hi Kathryn. I think it was from the amount of fat removed. If too much fat is removed it dies and then turns to liquid. This is what causes the incision to re open. In my case my Dr. recognized the issues early and opened me up to spare me the busting at the seems.

Oh lord I'm almost 11 weeks post opp and I still swell. When ever you can start walking. Jog maybe for about 30-40 seconds and you will start to tingle in your stomach it will help get those blood vessels working in your stomach and the damage nerves to I guess. I message NY stomach and scar it helps too. Good luck and if you need anymore advice I'm more than willing to help.
