i will be 5 mos post op this month. I scheduled an appt with my PS as I am VERY disappointed. I am getting more and more swollen by the day.. .if thats even what it is. No joke.. my husband even said my stomach looks bigger than it did before I had the surgery. Not only that but I have a dog ear, and then a large "bump" on the left side above the incision, and then what seems to be a lump or something next to my bb on the rt side... seriously seems like an entire redo is in order. I am sooooo frusterated. I didnt pay this much money to look like this. I am SOOO friggin discouraged. Im not even going to post pics as I am very grossed out. (I wear my husbands scrub tops now, just to hide the swelling..NO JOKE) :( I am also deleting my pics. I cant stand looking at them.

I have to say I kinda feel like you do! I know my tummy is Better then before but nowhere close to what I expected and wanted ! I spent way to much money to feel ehh about my tummy ! I'm have lumps and bumps to and I don't believe it's swelling . Soooo my Ps said he'd fix what he needs to in jan in his office and he better not even think of charging me!! I love my dr but am disappointed that I'll have to get cut once again . I'm
Pissed more then anything so I'm w you!! Keep me posted on what your going to do!

hey ladies. First off, I have to say WOW!! Everyone is looking so great! I am coming up on my 2 mo PO, and I dont know what happened, but I seemed to of miraculously turned a corner. I am finally feeling like I actually had a tummy tuck! lol. Its looking so much better. I still swell at night, but not NEAR AS BAD as before! YAY!!! I like my boobies, HOWEVER, I have decided that I am going to talk to him at my 6mos, about doing a revision, and going bigger...and maybe saline. I am liking the "roundness" that the gals with saline have. I feel like now that mine have dropped into place, they dont have enough shape. It will be a while before I can get it done because I will have to save some cash first, but I am thinking about maybe 550 range for cc's?? Opinions??? Anyway, I have been debbie downer for so long, I wanted to update and let y'all know I am finally feeling better :)

Looks like the vegas damage is overthe swelling is back down to wbere it was before the trip. I am happier...not 100% yet,but its seems.like each day is getting better. I have a horrendous.cold, so coughing and sneezing nonstop probably arent helping with the swelling. thx everyone for not completely writing me off. :)
