So Happy - Marietta, GA

I've used just about anything you can think of on it - aloe, shea butter, coconut oil, tea tree oil, castor oil..... more but I can' think of it now lol.

I didn't have lipo with the TT and I can't remember when I am supposed to go back to see the PS - I think it's next month. Will be interesting to see what he says. Spring/Summer/Bathing suit/summer clothing is rapidly approaching and I want that stomach I dreamed of. Besides the swelling though I think I need to lose a few pounds. UGH

So in 5 days I am 5 months post op. I am very unhappy to say since last week I have had that tight swollen feeling in my stomach. Not severe swelling but I'm over it!! My incision looks better but I've been doing the red light therapy - no clue if it's making any difference of not. Anyway, I just wanted to say I think we all are in this for the long haul :( We undertook a pretty serious surgery and probably thankfully we weren't prepared for how long it would take to have that tummy we envisioned, as if it would be magically perfect. Stay positive, we will all get there eventually!

Nothing serious - it's not painful when I"m just sitting and that's what I do all day is sit and work at a computer. Even walking it is ok - but it's very stiff and appears swollen although not severely so, which is why I haven't seen a doctor or anything. I know nothing about knees and I have kind of just been waiting it out. It almost feels as though it is blown up with air and is very tight. I imagine its fluid maybe from inflamation? In any case, I didn't have an aha moment - but my knees have always gotten a little sore when I run on pavement. When I started back running in January there were some days where they were a little sore, so this is my best guess as to what happened. LOL long answer to a short question?

I posted this in FB today because it totally cracks me up. I swear it was Me in another life. It occurred to me, we may all have these tendencies given our common circumstances and desires we express here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-tcRiBNj4&feature=share
