38 Days PO. Feeling Good! Lost 4" in my waist!
Swelling continues to go down. I'd say I'm probably 90% of the way healed with some minor swelling in my flanks and upper abdomen. I'm tired of wearing the compression garment but when I take it off, I can't imagine not wearing it! It does make me feel better when I wear it. The last couple weeks I have been placing scar prevention ointment on all the tiny incision points. So happy that I'm back at the gym too! I do wear the compression garmet there as well as it doesn't really hinder my movements.
At this point I have lost 4" across my waist and about 3 lbs. so I'm super excited about that. Not quite seeing the results in my inner thighs yet but that may still have some minor swelling. I think you can really see the difference in the side profiles the best.
I'll be sure to keep you updated as I continue to heal! Thanks for the comments!

15 Days PO. Bruising gone! Feeling better.. Only one downside...
Happy to report my bruising is pretty much all gone. I went to my second post op visit today with Dr. Chang and he was very pleased with the results so far. I was fitted with my second compression garnet, feels sooo much more comfortable than the first one I was given at the hospital. This one is more breathable and doesn't squeeze against my lower rib cage.
Some stats: My starting weight was 142, went up to 147 a couple days post surgery with all the swelling and now 15 days post op, I'm down to 139. My waist went from 34" To 30.5 so far". Pretty amazing!
Swelling is getting better everyday too.
Only downside I see so far is the excess skin now on my stomach. I guess so much was removed and now the fat is gone, I have more wrinkles in my skin. Any suggestions to tighten that up? I'll still take it as the overall results are worth it.
So excited to get back to the gym where I'm hoping to improve on these results!!

2 weeks post op
I am now 2 weeks post op and the bruising is so much better! I feel like I can move pretty good finally. The first week is the worst and I am so excited to keep seeing results. I have an appt tomorrow and should be getting a new garment to wear for the next 4 weeks. The one I am currently wearing is getting much easier to put on that is for sure. I hope I can go back to the gym next week too! So far I am really happy with my results!!
Provider Review
After 2 visits I'm ready to go! Doctor is easy to talk to and understands my "wants" in this surgery. He gives great advice and honest opinions.
