Kimmy, I am almost 5 mos post-op too and I expected to be better than I am. I still have swelling off and on. Sometimes by the end of the nigh I look pregnant! but nice and flat in the mornings. I have a lot of numbness at the MR area. Dr says up to a year. :(
I am 5 weeks post-op and I can't fit into my pre-op pants. I figured I would be able to get into my smaller pants after a tt and lipo, but no, I barely fit into my fat pants because of swelling. I don't recommend buying anything smaller than what you wear now. My PS says about 3 months I should have most swelling gone.
How are you doing? I have a couple questions. I'm feeling like my recovery is as quick as I think it should be. First, do you still have swelling? I look like I'm about 4 months pregnant. Second, how is your numbness? My tummy is completely numb except for right above my rib cage. When I went for a three week check up my PS just kind of commented to himself that I should be numb still. Are you exercising yet? My a$$ and thighs need work by my PS says don't do any ab workout. I cant really think of anything I can do with using my abs. Any suggestions.
