3 1/2 weeks PO and updated Pics Los Angeles, CA

Hi HTown-i went in today for my appt., but ended up not doing it because I was not made aware that I wasn't supposed to take any type of aspirin or advil this week and I had actually taken quite a bit this past week, much more than usual, when I wasn't feeling well, so we rescheduled for this Monday the 29th to reduce the small risk of unnecessary bruising and bleeding from the Advil that stays in your system for 10 days and could effect the results ofbthe revision. If i have a chance I will post a picture since it has been so long since I have updated. Have you scheduled anything yet?

Hi HTown-I am now about 7 months post op as well and having scar revision next week-a bit of lipo on the right hip at the end of the TT incision. where there is a slight fat pocket, and directly below my BB, where the scar is a bit more vertical than my PS likes, but it doesnt show in a bikini or anything. Both places will have stitches and I will do it in the office, with no extra expense, as scar revision is included in the initial costs. I am not sure if your revision is more extensive then maybe being sedated is more appropriate. My PS said any revisions made are done without charge. Good luck!

Hi HTownMof3-It has been so long since I have posted or updated my review, but wanted to ask you about silicone strips. I am 4 1/2 months PO now and have been, according to my PS, using Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Bleaching & Corrector Cream first, then BioCorneum after on my TT and BA incision sites and it seems like I am not really seeing much of a difference. Have you noticed a change since you switched? I am thinking that maybe I should try something else. Also, could you recommend a site to order the silicone strips? Thanks!

You look GREAT!! Happy Healing Mof3LB's and don't work too hard, you still need lots of rest at 2weeks PO even though it feels so great when you turn the corner! I still need to be careful not to overdo it at 6wks PO, you don't want any healing malfunctions to deal with!

I'm so sorry it has been such a rough week for you :( I am just over 6wks PO now and have taken this process slowly and carefully so as to try to prevent healing setbacks and besides, I have just needed a lot of time to feel better. I got the ok to start back exercising and basically resuming all my normal activities yesterday at my 6 wk check up. I walked for 2 miles today and it was nice. I'm cleared for no more CG & 24 hour a day sports bra too. It has been a long road but I am trying to not be afraid to resume normal life like my PS wants me too! Your pics look amazing & you are going to truly love your new body when you get past this hard part! I have been terrible about updating my profile and adding pics but I will this weekend. Stay strong BinB, you can get through this!!
