Wow... what a complete transformation... difficult to believe it is the same body, you must be soooo happy at 6mths post op.
Can I ask about the swelling at 3mths. I am now 3mths too and I seem to be swelling a lot... I don't wear my CG every day; someetimes I wear it to bed, sometimes I don't and sometimes I wear control pants - the high waist that comes to the bust and sometimes I don't - all depends on the clothes I am wearing... anyway, it doesn't seem to make a difference at all!
When did you see a difference in the swelling? Please tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel cos it feels so horrible!
Thanks for the update - and again, you look terrific! x

Hello and Thank you!! I am 6 months today and I am still swelling :( My ps told me to expect another 6 months of swelling because of the large amount of tissue that was removed( 12 lbs ) I wore my garment for the 1st 4 months all the time... But it will get better!! You will be so glad when it does!

I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and we have the same body type. I went to see my ps earlier this week and was told I will need a revision in 8 months. My upper abdomen pops out just like your and is worse when swell hell hits. I was told it was fat and I need more lipo from my incision on up. Have u asked your ps about a revision? If u are not 100% happy, say something!! We all spend $1,000's of $$ and we should get the results we were promised! Good luck!!

I am gonna ask about that !! Thank you :) He said another 6 months till I see all the swelling gone :( But I don't think that my upper belly is going to go away, I don't think that I had enough Lipo done there :(

Hi there, you know with our bodies being similar before our tt and then after too. I have a thought that may or maybe not help. I too still have some swelling in my upper tummy, it comes and goes. Most the time it is down more. But my upper tummy is still a bit rounder than what I want. I would love to have that flat belly so many people end up with. Maybe it is just not going to happen to all of us. :-( I diet and exercise and feel I do all I can to get it flat but still no luck. So as much as I would love to have that flat tummy... All I need to do is look at my before pictures to remind me how far this journey has taken me to this point. And then my tummy looks awesome!

Hello ladies :) well I am now 3 months post op and love my new look !!! But I am not happy about the fact that I am still swelling :( especially around and above my belly button. It looks so protruded at times :( I am no longer wearing anytype of garment. I just hope the swelling goes away before summer gets here. I would do it all over :)

Hi you look great!!!! I hear you on the swelling, i'm also 3 months and i get swelling for a few days in a row and it sucks. Mind you it never does go away it just isn't so bad some days. I am back to wearing cg at night time just because i think it might help. My swelling is above my incision line, i just hope it goes away soon but i think we may need a few more months. So happy you are happy about doing tt, i feel the same way. What made us wait so long to do it? lol
