4 Months Post Op

I had a follow up with my PS last week and he gave me the thumbs up for all exercise now. He did say my abdomen was still a bit swollen front and center where the muscle repair was the most intensive. That's fine.

I'd say about two to three weeks ago, I turned a huge corner in terms of feeling completely normal again and actually ready to do training again once I got the official okay.

So I started really working out again this week -- doing a dance program and weights. Oh. My. God. I am soooo swollen abdominally now and I had to break my CG back out today for support as my abs feel so uncomfortable at night. Yikes!! My lack of swell hell is now being visited upon me.

I haven't had much of anything else going on. I am super happy with my boobs and tummy tuck, and the lipo area under my chin is starting to loosen up (in a good way -- it was feeling tight like stretched tendons or plantar fasciitis type feeling from where the cannula went I suppose).

I haven't taken any new photos but I will get around to it after this swell hell goes away!

Wonderful, upbeat doctor, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. I honestly cannot say enough good things about both him and his staff. From my initial consultation, I was made to feel comfortable and special. Even discussing the work to be done, Dr Brown never made me feel flawed, like I got from a lot of the other consults I had. He took his time listening to my goals and how they fit into my lifestyle. His office staff - from nurses to surgical coordinator are fantastically sweet and knowledgable as well. Follow up care has been great -- I haven't required much because Dr Brown is an artist and healing has been amazing. The few concerns I have had have been answered with gentle, confident knowledge and reassurance. I would recommend every single person I care about to see him. There is no one else in the country I would go see, and that's no exaggeration. :)
