8.5 weeks post op and I feel great lately. No...
WORTH IT$7,300
8.5 weeks post op and I feel great lately. No more discomfort really and I was cleared to start working out back at 6 weeks post op (I admit I haven't even started though). I was doing P90X pre surgery so I'll start it again tomorrow. Doc said I can do what I want, but obviously if it hurts, stop. My upper abs feel slightly sore when I get up from a laying down position without using my arms, but it's nothing I can't handle.. Friends and family compliment how I look all the time, and I feel so confident - I would do this surgery all over again if I had to. Totally worth it. I have maintained my post op weight of 126 (was 134 pre op) and I recently went shopping for new clothes and I'm down to a size 3-4 in jeans, and a SM in shirts. Before my surgery I wore a size 7-8 in jeans and a M in shirts. I posted some updated pics of my progress.

18 days PO and I feel great. I can get in and out...
18 days PO and I feel great. I can get in and out of bed with no problems or assistance from my arms. I still have a slight hunch but it's getting better each day. I still have issues with swelling but I know that's normal at this early stage so it doesn't bother me too much. The only thing that bothers me is that my swelling is all in my upper abdomen.. and it looks weird. I will see my PS for my 6 week appt on July 10th. Hopefully he'll tell me to ditch the CG and start light cardio. Honestly the CG doesn't really bother me because I switched to Spanx 9 days post op and it's super comfy. I uploaded new pics.

I'm feeling better each day. I think I overdid it...
I'm feeling better each day. I think I overdid it yesterday. Went to the grocery store and my son came with me to help. Since I walk so slow and hunched, it took a whole hour (I'm usually in and out in less than 15-20 mins). When I went home I decided to wind down and take a hot shower. I was SO swollen ... So after the shower I seemed to have sprung a leak from my drain hole - and I mean a LEAK that hasn't stopped leaking since! I have my lymphatic drainage massage today so I'll ask them if this is normal. I also haven't stopped leaking from my new BB since the procedure. Have any of you ladies had this issue before? My hubbs told me this morning that he sees I've lost some weight. I hopped on the scale and sure enough, I'm down to 126 lbs. I'm 5'0" and my goal weight before this surgery was 125 so I'm on the right track - even swollen! Uploaded some 9 day po pics.

Hi CarJen! I'm doing so much better, thanks for asking. Feeling great these days. Still swollen of course and my tummy feels so weird from being so tight. I'll post pics soon. How are you holding up?

I'm feeling good but I need daily naps now. I'm still sore and swollen but I'm better than I thought I would be at this point.
