Well I'm really starting to get flat LMAO only problem is I'm getting fat and lazy from this recovery. All I want to do is go out to dinner and drink LOL. I'm really starting to fell like myself and the swelling is way down. I hope I can get my diet and exercise back under control. I think my doctor was right I will definitely need lipo. In a year or so.

I'm 2 weeks post op today and feel like yourpost at 16 dpo! I too am saddened and unhappy with my results although I know it is going to get better. Your story helps me to see that it really does get better and it really is just swelling! You look amazing!

Yes, my doctor told me at about 5 weeks post op to stop wearing all compression garments and the swelling would dissipate. It has helped. So don't give up. And don't do what I did and eat LOL. It will get better:)

Getting happier by the week :) swelling is down a lot. I can't believe my before and after pics. There is a huge difference. I'm still a little bummed cause I'm not completely flat but it seems every week that passes I get flatter and flatter. I hope I still have a lot more swelling in a way so at least I know I will get flatter.

I had planned on going back to work 10 days after my TT. Is that possible. they told me it was. Reading some of these reviews, I'm a little concerned.

I can wear underwear and see my privates LOL. Things are looking better and feeling better everyday. I saw my ps 2 days ago and he says everything looks good and I'm still swollen but I should be flat once I'm healed and the swelling is down :D. I was very happy to hear that. I will still need lipo in a year or so but feeling like I'm getting to where I want to be:) I can finally feel my hips and see a contour..... yay! My stomach is softening as well. Those showers and self messages really help. Also I walked a mile yesterday. ... so happy to be getting healthier by the day.
