WORTH IT$7,000
I've been working about for about a month now and feeling great. My abs still hurt to sneeeze and cough! I have not really been doing any ab exercises except for planks. I *think* I might be starting to see some ab definition! Woohoo! I'll post a pic comparing before and after. I haven't been wearing my binder at all for about 3 or 4 weeks and I don't miss it at all. I still swell some- especially after alcohol. Waking up in the morning I am nice and flat and then I get a little bigger throughout the day. These swimsuit pics are at night so I am at my most swollen. I am occasionally spitting stitches and I worry about the scarring. Also, I seem to swell in my upper abdomen and I hope its just that, only swelling. All is well and not too much to report!

Lol! Thanks! I bought it last year an never wore it so I feel like it needs to be worn! I need to find a bikini that covers my scar. I'll have to try on all my old ones :). Hey, I wanted to tell you that I notice after I workout that some spots around my belly are discolored and I think it's the same circulation/redness thing you posted about. I wonder how long it takes to completely heal!?

You look awesome! You know I spit stitches for a while but it seems to have stopped. I have not wore my compression garment for 2 weeks but today I was told it's better if I do. I dont miss that thing and want to burn it lol. I also get swollen in my upper abdomen, I thought I was doing something wrong or eating too much but reading you get it, I guess its normal.

I couldn't tell a difference in the swelling wearing the binder vs not wearing it so I stopped. I hope that wasn't a bad idea! I wore it for a solid 7 or 8 weeks. I really wish the spitting of stitches would stop!

Glad to know I'm not the only one! But I feel like its more often than just after a big meal.. like its just general swelling. And its not a ton but I do notice it!

I am released to ease into exercise but need to wait 2 more weeks for ab work. Everything looks good. I might be spitting a few stitches and I'm still swollen. It's nice in the morning when I'm not as swollen! It feels so weird to not wear the binder. I'll keep wearing it around the house

Swelling is down and more localized around my scar. My bb is straighter now too. I'm so happy I did this!

You are looking great. I will be having my surgery soon when kids are on summer break in a week. Like you, my dr wants to do the float on me but I think I want the full tummy tuck with the vertical scar so that I can have a tighter tummy.

Do you wear a low cut bikini? I'm hoping they can still do the incision low...

He used my csection scar which was really low so that's why I got the vertical too. I will still be able to wear a bikini and the scar be covered , yay!
