Missy, Be patient, Patience is the key! Be positive. What you need to do:
Wear your compression garment daily except when taking shower;
drink a lot of fluids particularly water to decrease the swelling;
eat healthy, avoid food that contain high sodium;
massage your body!
You went too far to feel that way! It will take time but you will be happy when you see the final result. I am still swelling but I could see the difference in my shape the first I removed my garment to take shower.

thats why I am doing this... I thought by seeing my stomach flat it would motivate me too lose the rest of the weight. I may have to try the double binder thing ;)

I'm looking to do a mommy makeover as well starting with the lipo and finishing with breast implants. I can't wait to see your results. If you don't mind, who is the doctor that performed your surgery? I'm from Ohio and I don't want to get it done here. Thanks!

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but I had it done, local annesthesia is a simple ambien (sleeping pill) WILL NOT PUT YOU TO SLEEP, felt every bit of pain and results were awful
