The 2 Week Count Down! Can't Wait! - Rockville, MD

Nope I didn't use anything I wish I would have but he said now its too late the only solution is to cut it off and start over but this time do steroid injection to stop the keloid...ahhhhh NO THANKS :---) your welcome and good luck dont forget to take pictures if only for yourself so you can really see the difference

Thanks so much

By the way I do have a BIG keloid scar hip to hip but I am still happy for my results he put the scar low that when I wear my bikini you can't even see it. I went to him a few weeks ago to see about having it removed but I decided to just live with it. :-) its a reminder of were I came from and that I don't want to get that big again

I wore the compression garment for about 3 weeks that's how long it took to get my drains out BECAUSE I was at the track WALKING on day 5 post op LOL Big Mistake. Dr. T told me that feeling good so some is a gift and a curse because you think you can do more then you should do. Finally after 3 weeks with drains in I went to spanx. Take is easy with your walking :-)

Congrats on your upcoming surgery, you will do fine and you will feel great. I remember waking up after surgery and feeling like a million bucks :-) it was the best rest I had gotten in a long time. LOL Its great that you have help I think that is going to be key because at first you wont be able to get up to feed yourself and you also need motivation to get up and walk every 2 hours. Good luck and keep me posted :-)

Congrats :-) Don't let the swelling discourage you, mines took about 2 months to go down. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get the results I did and when in my first 2 weeks my boyfriend told me the same thing :-( (MEN) GO FIGURE! Look at my pictures and you can see what I looked like and you can see I was pretty swollen and it just slowly but surely went down. I am actually bigger now then I was right after surgery...But I am smaller in my waist but I have jeans that I purchase that I can't get one leg in right now...LOL I don't let it get to me I just watch what I eat and stay in the gym I am happy and that's all that matter. focus on making you happy after all you are Destined2b :-) Keep me posted on your porgress
