48 Year Old Mother of a Grown Man - Lilburn, GA

Discovered a combination that has been helping with the results. I wear a zippered compression garment from Leonisa with lipo foam and s latex waist clincher. I decided to order a new corset from Orchard corsets to start using in a couple weeks per advise from FTA2014. Pictures show my results this far.

My dilemma was my hanging belly. Now it is getting my belly button in the right position and finding the right items to compress my lower belly at the same time lifting my belly button to where it realistically should be. I purchased my 2nd stage garment from Leonisa. I like the convenience of it so far with the open crotch and the smooth compression versus those I have been wearing with the wires that stick me in the back. The only issue I have is that it does not address my main issue with repositioning my belly button and flattening my lower abs. I also ordered Lipo foam and should have tomorrow. Hoping the combination of them both is what I need. My results are improving. I am less sore and I don't get tired as quickly. My husband has commented on the change. That is a miracle in itself. We are renewing our vowels next year on the beach for our 25th anniversary. My dress will have my back out so will definitely need to work on compressing my upper back fat. Dr Boutte did a good job on flanks and lower back. I need to tone up the other areas. Itchiness is driving me crazy. I use Benadryl at night but during the day at times it is bad. My weight has not really changed. I will start excercise this week to get back on my journey. I will post updated pictures soon.

My surgery that was scheduled at 11am but nurse did not come get me until 1:20 not 12 as originally typed in error. I suspect it started around 2pm and I was done at 8 or shortly after. Nurse Lee Indicated 6450cc's were removed which is a huge amount. Right now I have hard lumpy areas especially my lower abs. I am not that happy about my progress thus far. Think the fact that one of my drains fell out early hindered the fluid build up resulting in this hardness. The day after my surgery I did not take pictures but the abs were more mushy than now. I am having a hard time getting proper compression in that area. See updated pictures at 1 week. I am healing properly from what I can tell. My abs are just hard with minor to no soreness. My sore areas are my back and sides. There are periods when I feel light headed. Not sure what that is about.
