3 month post op

Went for my 3 month post op today. Took my "after" pics. All I have to say is Wow! I didn't realize how much different and better my body looks. And to be honest, I have done little to no working out since before my procedure. Having it done in late October, then recovering for a month, and all the craziness of the holidays, I have really been slacking as far as exercising goes...kind of dreaded having to take my after pics because I did gain a couple of pounds over the holidays as well. But seeing my before/after pics was shocking. Dr Swanson is amazing!! I am soo pleased with the results. My body is not perfect, but he did correct my problem areas..things that would never resolve from from diet and working out. I am excited to see how things will look after exercising.

Post op pics day 2

Finally took the dreaded shower and it felt amazing! Was surprised to see so much difference in my figure, since I feel incredibly swollen. But I took pics, and can already see a big difference. It looks nice, despite all the bruising..
Pain is much less at the moment. Hopefully it is all downhill from here.?

2 days post op

Very swollen and stiff, not in alot of pain unless I have to move for any reason. Getting up or laying down is the hardest chore ever. And have to pee doing a standing squat over the toilet as I cannot sit on it at all. Worried that I maybe getting constipated, but I've been taking my softeners, so hopefully it'll happen soon. Sleeping is miserable, I hate sleeping on my back, but that is the only position possible. I feel like I'm not resting as much as I should, but to be honest, it's so much more comfortable to stand. I'm returning to work in 4 days, I'm hoping that it's not so painful to sit/stand by then..As I haven't told any of them I was getting this done and don't want it to be totally obvious that I'm in pain.
My Doc gave the ok to shower. Looking forward to it, but worried I may get faint. Curious to see how i look without this garmet on. I can tell I'm very swollen.

I forgot to ask my doc how much fat was removed at my post op yesterday. Very curious, guess I'll have to wait til my week post op.

Dr Swanson is amazing at what he does. He has put out books that explain all his procedures in detail with hundreds of real before and after pics with testimonials. That is what "sold" me on picking him as my doctor. I could see how good he was at what he does. When I met him and his office staff, they all make you feel so comfortable and no pressure. He cares about your concerns and is honest and realistic. I have checked around, and his work is the best. I would recommend him to anyone. Just look at his website or his books, who else shows so many pictures and procedures of their work? Will definately see him for any future work.
