I still don't know how I was able to do this. But somehow I looked at the mirror one day and said. . I'm going to take the fat away.., that was like music to my husband ears.. from there on we started looking for surgeons and I became a member of real self, where I read stories everyday, thanks for sharing your experiences that really helps., I can say I'm very happy I made it through the surgery, and I'm recovering now, today is my second day, not bad at all .. I was expecting a lot more pain.... bled a lot yesterday much better today.. will see the doctor on Monday

They finally removed the drains yesterday, OMG, I never thought those things were so big inside, I was already feeling the one in my abdomen very hard, and I thought it was scaring because it was on the other side of the abdomen, I felt such a relieve after they took them out, it felt like taking a knife out of you.. .. my abdomen is soft again,.. well, I'm very swollen still. I understand it's too soon.. but I feel better. Just waiting for my massage later and the shower..

Feeling much better thanks god, the doctor told me to take Naproxen. For inflammation and pain when needed, but I started to feel itchy in my back and abdominal area, first thought it was the foam, but I stopped taking the medication and feel better, hope it was a reaction to that, so I'm only taking vitamin c. And the inflammation is getting so much better with the massage and the ultrasound

Hi Girls, I went for my second follow up visit today and Dr mentioned that the rash could have being caused by the medication, now I'll be taking prednisone so It goes away faster., I'm also wearing a Tank top in between the garment and the foam, just in case, and it's working fine. Bruising also getting better. ., soon.. back to work..back to reality. ..

It's time to go back to exercise, I feel well, however the body changes per day as the swelling is going away, I just don't think about it anymore and try to continue with my life pretending that nothing happened and wait longer for the final outcome. ., but so far so good.
