Sorry I have not updated in a very ling time. I am going in January for a revision. I ended up with dog ears as well as extra skin on my hip area and pubic area.. its like the swelling never went away. I wear my binder an it makes a difference. But after 9 months I figured my tummy would have taken great shape. I know they say 1 year but its a little disappointing. There is a big difference from the surgery but just need a few tweeks to make it perfect! Hope all fellow march and everyone else have or are healing well.. ill update pictures soon.

Hey everyone, I am now 1 month post op today...
Hey everyone,
I am now 1 month post op today and I cant say I feel great. I am very swollen to the point my binder just rides up when I sit. There is no point in wearing it its not helping were the swelling is really the worst. Im thinking I might call my PS to try and get an eariler appointment with him. I dont see him for another 2 weeks!
Has anyone ever taken natural water pills? I was thinging of doing that but I want to make sure its ok..Ill check with my ps. I tried ice and it did work for me. I tried putting a towel in my binder and that didnt work either. IDK what else I can do.
As soon as feel like my tummy is back to normal i will post new pictures.

Im doing pretty good except this nasty cold (2nd one since surgery) along with some fevers. omg the coughing is killing me!! but other than that my tummy is flat very little swelling....will most likely have a revision done in Oct of this year cause of the "butt cheek" crease thing and im starting to get saggy skin in my belly button area again so a little upset with that....another thing i noticed about all you lovely ladies and i do have to admit im a bit jealous, your guys scars are low mine is super high and my panties dont even hide it at all, which i was told it would be hidden. but then again its so much better than my "before" belly! How are you doing?

How is the swelling going now? I am in the same spot you were. Sometimes I get so swollen it literally hurts.
I hope you are doing well!

HI 3 boys The swelling is not so bad anymore..Getting much better however right now I have my monthly so its bad at this time. I have already started working out. My PS told me I was cleared to start just cant do my abs yet... 4 more weeks and I can start them! I have to say I was expecting better results but I am still healing so im still hoping! LOL... Glad your doing well!!

April 28, 2011
I still get swelling ALOT! but i have'nt gotten the crotch swelling and today makes seven weeks. I started back exercising and then it really swells up. I looove the way it looks in the morning though, so noce and flat!

Hi 3/10/11 I'm 8 weeks and 2 days. I know I still have some healing but I'm not as flat as I hoped I would be. When I sit I still seem to have a roll. that's so depressing. My ps Said I was healing well but to me I'm just upset at 8 weeks I expected to see better results.. I started working out an feel good about it! I do still swell in the pubic area. Only if I leave my binder off.

My girlfriend is at four months and she is JUST now beginning to see the results she was hoping for. I think you will too. I am a week and two days behind you and when I swell I think I still have a gut. It will get better. Oh I had issues with my binder so I just leave it off. It makes me look crazy on one side. Now that is depressing to see. lol

SMom,
I really don't think you can do more than you body lets you. I have been very active since day 8-9. I walked around the block with my dog on day 10 and it felt great to be in fresh air, as well as stretching out the sore back! I got both drains out on by day 9, which I think being up & moving helped to do. You look awesome, congrats!
