    You can really see the difference in your Abs. It's hard to see the difference in legs because of the pictures... It's good to see your swelling 1week post op because that's about where I am. Thanks for posting! I had vaser myself and it was pretty tiring. It was also pretty painful. It took 5hrs total to complete my process. I can't believe I'm saying this but if I knew what i know now I'd still do it! LOL It's such a barbaric thing to go through but I had had it with my midsection. Anyway, thank you for posting. Gives me hope and courage to get through this first month! UGH!

    By the way, I feel like I'm still swelling - it will be two weeks 8/20.... ugh!

    Thanks for the reassurance. I plan to wear compression for at least 3 months as it feels too weird without it. :) I guess I can't look worse than I did prior to the procedure! LOL I was so out of proportion that anything is an improvement. That sounds so bad but it's the plain truth! LOL I measured my waist and I went from 38ins (no joke) to a 29ins! My legs and arms used to look like lil tooth picks! LOL I'm so narrow in the hips too so I was a total apple from hell! But now it all works; I just can't wait to feel like my mid section isn't going to slide off of me whenever I take the garment off! I'm also glad not to be in the medabolically challenged group in one chriteria. Now I only have two out of five symptoms instead of 3. It's a long road for me as I've had female challeneges and surgeries that interferred with my health. NOW I'm on the road to better health. I do NOT want to get diabetes! I can't go there. :) I'm 41, look like I'm 30 and I finally don't look pregnant anymore. RAMBLE OVER. TKS!
  • Posted to Expectation, Now and 3-4 Months from Now? on 14 Aug 2009
    I'm 7 days out and I must be honest with you and myself. I don't plan to see results that wow me until about 6 months from me. I say this because I have the expectation that I'm not going to feel like my abdomen is going to slide off when I take off my compression garment and I see NO lumps or swelling. This to me is the final result and I have been told 6 months. So I've resigned myself to this.
