I’ve had my breast augmentation going on five years they look wonderful. Anyone who has seen them doesn’t even know if they’re real or fake which I wanted. I’ve often been told that they are the best someone has seen. t 46, I’ll take that as a compliment a big one! Thank you Dr!
I have wanted a TT for over 24 years. I gave birt to 2 kids they are now 27 and 24 I have 3 more kids thru my husband and currenly have 5 grandkids. I'm 45 years old and I'm so ready for a TT. I had a TT scheduled about 5 years ago and cancelled it to add on to the house instead. I'm ready now! ! Updated on 5 Nov 2012: I have wanted a tummy tuck for so many years. I really hate my stomach I don’t even like my husband to look at me or even touch my stomach, even if I am asleep and his hand come in contact with my tummy I move his hand. I look in the mirror and hate the way my stomach looks. My husband and I live a very active life we love to go on cruises and scuba dive and I always feel terrible the minute I put my bathing suit on. I can’t stand one piece baiting suits because it clings to the stomach, and if I wear a two-piece to help it has to be long enough to not show my stomach but if I move it moves up and I’m so worried someone will see it. (Belly). It’s not that I want to have this perfect body because I don’t I just want to feel conftable in my own skin. My husband has always told me I’m beautiful and that he loves me and that my stomach does not bother him but I can’t help to feel he looks at it with disgust he gets so mad at me for saying that but I can’t help the way I feel. I would love nothing more than my husband to be able to rest his hands on my stomach or even my hips. I’m so afraid that he will touch gross belly when he touches me anywhere in that area. I look forward to feeling comfortable in a bathing suit, Jean, dresses, heck to feel comfortable my underwear. I know this will be painful but heck it don’t last for ever? Right? LOL Updated on 12 Nov 2012: Ok.. I'm getting more and more excited I just can't wait!:) Can you guys give me a list of things that I will have to have. I go for my pre-op on December 17th... I can't help but to keep saying Merry Christmas to me! Merry Christmas to me... Wow i just can't wait! :) Updated on 26 Nov 2012: Well I'm one month away! I can't wait. I think I'm driving my husband crazy I read him what I find on here and I call and remind him its such and such days away. LOL. I've been reading everyone's post and i have been so excited, I'm sure I will have a down day soon and worry again about having this done, but for now all is good! I'm proud of myself for doing this. I'm still not going to tell my mom or dad or my in-laws. I just don't think I need a lecture from them! I get enough of that from my daughter who is a nurse. I told my husband that she will probley end up freaking me out during the healing process. She is a wonderful nurse but when it's her family she is a worry wart. LOL. Updated on 7 Dec 2012: 19 days till my TT I'm getting so excited. Told my son while he was home for a visit before he leaves for Afganistan it didn't seem to matter to him so that was good i would rather have no reaction to a bad one. Hoping that me going back to work on the 7th of Jan will give me enough time to heal thats 11 days... what do you guys think.. I sit at a desk but I work with nothing but men and I really don't want them to know! Updated on 17 Dec 2012: Ok pre-op done everyone is paid and got good news on my son today I'm one happy girl Last night had panic attacks. Not sure if it was from my son beeing in Afghanistan or my pre-op today. But now woohoo I feel good. Updated on 22 Dec 2012: Well I have 4 or is it 3 more days to go and I'm still just as excited, I AM ONE READY GIRL lol. I have taken a few more pictures to post for before album I can't believe how ugly my tummy is I could puke just looking at them but I thought what the heck I want to see the diffrence. HEHE I can't wait to post after pictures. I laugh it seems everyone I know is sick right now and I'm avoiding them all! I would cry my eyes out if I got sick now! Just keep in your prayers please, no matter how ready I am I'm so scared to. Updated on 27 Dec 2012: Ok I made it to the flat side. I had my surgery yesterday sorry no pictures yet but from what I have seen it's great. I can look down and it looks so flat. We did take the binder off to adjust and took a peek and I love the way it looks. I'm sore but its not to bad. I feel like I have done a million and one sit ups. LOL. My husband has been wonderful and taking very good care of me. I got a little sick last night I guess from the anesthesia but once I got sick and took more medician I felt better and sleep off and on last night. I feel sorry for him because he didn't get much sleep. he wend to to the recliner to the love seat to the floor! Poor guy. Tonight I'm going to try and sleep in our bed just so he can sleep. I think I have enough pillows and stuff to do it.. We will try. I have been keeping up with the pain meds and I think that has really helped. Well i think I'm off to take a nap LOL. Updated on 31 Dec 2012: Ok I'm 5 day's now I guess its' five I didn't cound the day I had surgery as day one. It has not been as bad as I though it would be. The first night i did get sick but that passed and it's been ok. I hate these drains I'm prayin they get taken out on Thur. my first PO apt. Yesterday I still had about 50 out of each drain but it looks less so far today. I was suprised on how much my lady part swelled but I guess that is just part of it. My husband said the Doc said he took about 3 lbs of skin off. (WOW) I'm happy.. My weight is down 7 lbs so I'm happy about that. My scar looks nice and low and thin I like that. It goes up on the sides but no big deal I know that going in. I sure don't feel Sexy yet but it'm sure that will come. My husband has done a great job taking care of me and cleaning and cooking. I had to take picture of him cleaning because that is somthing he does not do, almost posted it. LOL. I tried to put some panties on yesterday and with these drains NO WAY. How do you girls do that. Well happy healing to everyone. Updated on 3 Jan 2013: Well I got drains out yesterday and a few stitches to! Felt really tired after. But oh my gosh I love life without drains. I took my first shower today and wow I feel like a new women. I think I will go get a pedicure today. I'm still real swollen I pray that goes away soon! Updated on 4 Jan 2013: Well I posted a few more pictures. So far very happy wish the lady parts wouldn't swell but it will end. I go back to work Monday full time so I thought I would go in today and see how I will do I worked 3 hrs and it wasn't to bad I do get tired a lot easier (when will that end). Well hope everyone is having a great day Updated on 7 Jan 2013: I had my second PO apt today and he said everything looks good he did drain a little fluid today I didn't feel a thing (thank God). I'm so happy with the way things are looking. I'm still swollen but all is good. I also went to work today I only worked a 1/2 day, I plan on working a full day tomorrow. I hope everyone is healing great... sending you all hugs. Updated on 28 Jan 2013: Well I will be 5 weeks in a few days. I'm feeling better everyday I'm still swelling alot but I guess it will pass one of these days. I hope everyone is healing good! :) I was told I can wean myself off my binder last week.. wow it's harder than I thought it would be. I bought a garment that I hate. It's ok at first but then It's hard for me to keep it on and I hate that I have to pull it down everytime I need to go potty. Whe are you guys putting on your scar if anything? Updated on 7 Feb 2013: I'm 6weeks now and I'm feeling pretty good. I am still swelling allot but no real pain. My tummy is still hard above my belly button but getting a little better every day. I haven't done much to my scar yet not sure what I should be doing to it, I go to the doctor the 21 I will ask then. I am really ready to start working out my husband just started cross fit training and I'm jealous! We both want to look great and surprise our son when he gets home from Afghanistan. Updated on 26 Feb 2013: I will be 9 weeks tomorrow It's been tough 2 weeks. I'm not sure why I have this indention above my belly button and I have been trying to be positive about it but its not changing:( has anyone else had anything like this? I will post a few pictures I'm just really discouraged right now. My last apt with my PS he said I might need a little more lipo... Crap I just want to feel normal again.. I'm not in any pain but I sure don't feel sexy! I even wake up like this Updated on 20 Mar 2013: Hi, It's been 12 weeks today! I'm happy with TT! I see things I wish looked better but its only 12 weeks right.. LOL I would so do this again... Updated on 23 Mar 2013: OK I'm almost 13 weeks and getting ready to go on a cruise I know we don't let the sun hit our scar but has any one tanned in a tanning bed and covered the scar with towel or anything. I don't want to fry on the cruise. Any thoughts? Updated on 14 Apr 2013: Well It's been 15 1/2 weeks. I'm feeling normal can do just about anything now. We just got back from our Cruise and had a really good time. I didn't mind laying on the deck in my bathing suit at all.. Although I feel like my boobs are stinking huge now. LOL ok they are huge but they really seem even bigger now. Hope everyone is healing great... I added a few new pictures. Updated on 1 May 2013: Well I am 19 weeks today! I feel great... I know I still don't look like ''10'' great but I'm so happy with my my results.. It feels good to feel good.. I look much better in my clothes. I know I still have alot of stretch marks but thats ok.. It just reminds me of the 2 beautiful children I gave birth to.. I love that my husband loves me and my body.. Woot Woot.. LOL My scar is healing good I think, I wish that it didn't go up as far as it does but oh well. It seem like I have been sick with one thing or another since the surgery, tooth (root canal), foot (small surgery), cold, just ran down, and oh yeah too many fever blisters to list, I feel good don't get me wrong, but I have always been healthy lol. Really I feel so blessed to have had this surgery and I wouldn't trade it for nothing! Life is GOOD... Happy healing everyone... Updated on 15 May 2013: 20 weeks today! Boy when you say 20 weeks you think its a long time but it's not not.

LOL I go to the doctor tomorrow to see about fixing my dog ears You should be able to see in my new pictures. I'm hoping to get a little lipo above my belly button also.. but who knows we will see.

(So do I) Updated on 10 Oct 2013: Well it has almost been 10 months now.. I love my new tummy!!! :) I still have some weight to take off but all in all I feel great. My scar is healing well, I'm still numb at my belly button but that is a small price to pay! :) My husband love's my belly he loves that it does not bother me to walk around naked! (So do I) Updated on 28 Jan 2014: Updated on 28 Jan 2014: Well it's been one year and one month now.. I feel great and my scar is fading! I had to go in and have another surgery this past December (hysterectomy) explaining the little scares that look fresh on my belly and I also have circle's on my tummy from the hormone patch, but other than that I'm doing great... I feel wonderful... Very pleased. I just started working out with a personal trainer hoping to take off 20 lbs and get in shape... Hope everyone is doing great...
I'm 42, 5'7", 150 lbs, 36DDD. I've wanted a reduction as long as I can remember. My breasts have always felt large and heavy. After my third breastfed child, my breasts were just huge, saggy bags of flesh. I buy high quality bras, but nothing fits well, nor gives the support I need. I've had neck and shoulder pain for most of my adult life, but never sought out treatment for it. Recently, my breast size and weight has prevented me from running or even walking briskly. Obviously I haven't worn a button down shirt in ages, and if a t shirt fits everywhere else, it's super tight around the chest. I hate all of my clothes. After a friend of mine got a lift and loved it, I decided to bite the bullet and visit a plastic surgeon just to see what my options were. After reading several stories on here about bcbsil, I wasn't super optimistic about a reduction being covered. The PS said he would be happy to submit paperwork but first, according to bcbs, I needed at least six weeks of physical therapy. So I went to physical therapy. Insurance only covers 4 weeks' worth without a referral, so I called my family dr and he was happy to send one. (Thank goodness!) PT was nice, but made my symptoms worse. The therapist indicated my reduced range of motion and increased pain in the report he sent the the Plastic surgeon. I met a second time with the PS, he took measurements, pictures and some detailed information, and about a week later, submitted the paperwork. I eagerly checked my mailbox daily for five weeks until the approval letter arrived. Surgery is scheduled for four weeks from now. In all, this process will have taken me 4 1/2 months from the first PS visit to surgery date. We have met our out of pocket maximum for the year, so I'm expecting everything (surgeon, surgery center, anesthesia) to cost around $1200. I only know for sure that I will owe the PS $297. I'll post results and final cost after surgery. I'm more than elated to have these giant weights removed and start a new chapter in my life! Updated on 26 Nov 2016: Surgery went very smoothly. It took less than two hours for the surgery itself, then another hour or so to drag me out of anesthesia. The doc took about 500g out of each breast and I immediately felt so much lighter with zero back pain. I had no drains, and just some thick gauze pads over each breast. He had me pick up a cheap front-closure sports bra at Walmart to hold the gauze in place. It totally did the trick. I felt very tired the first day, but haven't been in a lot of pain at all. A friend suggested I take some of the narcotics the dr sent home with me so I can sleep, so I took a half last night since I'm a lightweight. It did knock me out for a few hours, but also made me sick to my stomach so in all, it wasn't worth the trade off. I've just taken 2 ibuprofen every six hours as needed. I still have lots of sensation in my nipples- almost more so than before. I took a shower on the day after surgery and replaced the gauze and put on a fresh bra. I had my husband in the shower with me to do most of the washing because I was so woozy and nauseated when I looked at my incisions. No big thing. He got all of the blood off, dried me off and helped me dress. I showered today on my own- no problems washing my hair or getting dressed. I bought two different sizes in the marena b2 on eBay- large and xl. The xl is a little loose but feels better. (I'm a 36 band size in a regular bra.) I don't really think the fancy bra is all that necessary. The $7 wal mart special does the trick just fine but going in to surgery I wanted the best. I did buy some button front pajamas for ease in dressing, and I'm glad I had them. But today I've got a regular t shirt on, again, no problems with lifting my arms. I didn't have the under arm lipo so that may be why. I've had moments of "what have I done?" when thinking about the huge incisions and my now-tiny breasts, but I just pray and remind myself what I left behind. My clothes already fit so much better. I don't know anyone who regrets this surgery, and neither do I.
I'm so excited I found this site! I have wanted BA for...forever. Since I was in high school and realized that I was done developing. I'm an A cup, though I can't say I've ever worn a properly fitting bra because I was always trying to make them look bigger instead of focusing on fit. I've always been self conscious of them. I never felt they suited my frame. My wonderful husband thinks I look perfect as I am(he's super great) but because of that it took a long time for him to understand my point of view. After many late night talks, and me finally expressing myself in a way he could relate with, he was on board. I am well aware that this is my body, and blah blah blah, but we are a team and let's face it, it would be hard to do without him on board. Since that point, I have been saving. I do not want to finance this. I then looked at my work schedule. I'll be off work for over a week at the end of March, so that's my goal timeframe. I have scheduled my first consultation for 1/25/16 and I can not wait to go! I have looked at a lot of wish boobs, and have an idea of what I want. Very full, but not huge. With my height and lower body curves(I have booty), I feel that may fall around a D, but am waiting for my PS input. I feel like I will be on this site a lot in the next few months. Updated on 9 Jan 2016: Search and search and search. There is so much information out there! It's hard to judge people's frame, and how much is boob and how much is bra(without looking at [RS bleep] obviously) I keep coming back to this picture though. And even did a side by side with myself because I feel our build is similar. Excuse the crummy post work out picture. And this sports bra even has some padding. Updated on 11 Jan 2016: I need help ladies! I would love to see some of your wish boobs(or your boobs if you like) I'm 5'6 135lbs(maybe a little less, will be closer to 130 by surgery) athletic. I'm looking for about a D cup(I think) Measurement around rib cage is 30 1/2 in. If it's your boobs, I'd love to know your stats and implant info as well. Updated on 17 Jan 2016: I'm sure there will be many more to come. Updated on 17 Jan 2016: More. I don't feel what I like is consistent?? Updated on 25 Jan 2016: My consult is today and I'm nervous!!! Normal I'm guessing. Any tips or advice on must ask questions ladies?? Will update later Updated on 27 Jan 2016: I had my consultation Monday. Really liked Dr Guillory. He explained everything really well and answered all of my questions. My width(I think what ladies have referred to as BWD?) is 10, so I guess I'm pretty small and he explained what that meant for implants. Discussed what I'm looking for, and he said he would probably go around 400cc to achieve that. Based on what my body can handle. I'm leaving the final decision to him since he's the expert and he'll be seeing them as he works. My left is larger than my right, so I will 2 different sizes. Decided to go with Mentor high profile silicone. Behind the muscle, inframammory incision. After thinking it over a couple of days, I called back and scheduled!!! My boobie day(or D day) is 3/30/16!!! I'm so excited and nervous. I'll try to get brave and post before pictures tonight or tomorrow. Updated on 28 Jan 2016: These were so hard for me to take and post. I started crying looking at them. I don't think I really look at them much without a bra. Updated on 28 Jan 2016: So upset I forgot to add the picture... Updated on 29 Jan 2016: Changed my mind. Not going through with it. Going to work on accepting myself with what I have. Good luck ladies. Updated on 1 Feb 2016: So after a stress feelers week. My husband and I picked the wrong time to discuss everything. Emotions were high and I decided to cancel. The next day, I was gone most of the day shopping and pondering my decision and if I was truly ok with not having BA. I came home and told him that I was ok, and that I wasn't mad at him or anything. He then revealed that after thinking about it, he had changed his feelings of it. He said it was of course my decision, but he was ok with it. First, I wanted to murder him for being a butt before. Then I told him that I needed him 100% ok with it, or I wasn't doing it. I didn't want him to just "tolerate" the idea or whatever he was doing before. He promised that wasn't the case and that he is fine with me having the BA. Yay!! So here are some pictures of my boobie guide. Ana Cheri Updated on 3 Feb 2016: Ordered an under armour bra today! I can't wait! It ordered a 34D and it's like the one in the picture but blue.
A little terrified, hoping to get some insight on here. I am new to this site as a member, but have been reviewing the site for about a year. I went for my consult on Monday of this week, and absolutely loved Dr. Guillory! Very personable, and friendly. I've wanted a tummy tuck since after my first child cause my skin was terribly stretched out, but I knew I wanted another child first. So here I am with my youngest now 3 years old! Any things you guys can share with me to help me asking this journey? Any info you feel would be helpful. Will post pics soon! Updated on 23 Jul 2014: Updated on 23 Jul 2014: This is gonna be the longest two weeks ever possibly. I'm a little nervous how it will actually look afterwards as in the new belly button and the scar itself. Hope it is in my panty line area. I'm sure I'll only get more nervous as the time gets closer, but more than ready to be on the flat side!!! Updated on 24 Jul 2014: Updated on 24 Jul 2014: Any items you wished you would've had gotten before your surgery you needed/wanted afterwards?? Trying to be sure I have everything I would possibly need. Thanks ladies! Updated on 26 Jul 2014: Getting really excited! Updated on 28 Jul 2014: Can't believe the closer it gets the less nervous I feel. I'm sure the day of I'll be on edge and terrified, but I'm enjoying this peace right now. Updated on 31 Jul 2014: I'm losing my mind... Not literally, but I'm getting myself all worked up. Called my Dr today with tons of nonsense questions. Lol. Preop on Monday! Updated on 3 Aug 2014: Preop tomorrow!!! Updated on 4 Aug 2014: Surgery will be Wednesday... Very excited and nervous all together! Mainly because I've never had any type of surgery! Being put to sleep is what scares me the most. And being tubed! But I'll get over it. Paid for my surgery in full today, so no turning back!! Updated on 5 Aug 2014: Surgery is at 8am! Updated on 6 Aug 2014: Surgery was at 8 am, was complete a little afterafter noon. Came home at 2pm. Have not taken my binder off but have drained the drains quite a few times. So far not walking hunched over, pretty straight. Said they removed over six lbs of skin! So far a little sore but that was expected :) Updated on 7 Aug 2014: Well just took my binder off for the first time...... Wasn't painful at all, but I guess the pressure release got me cause u passed out. Lol. Binder is back on and I don't for see trying to l that again any time soon. Updated on 7 Aug 2014: My drains have been emptying great til today. Dr wants to see me tomorrow to be sure they aren't kinked any where our if they are truly ready to come out so soon. They originally thought I would need them til next week or longer. We will see. Updated on 8 Aug 2014: Fixing to get ready for my appt... Laying down with binder open currently. Pain was pretty bad last night.... But I made it. Drains still not putting out more than about 10cc over a few hours. Also belly button.... Yuk. Any tips to help it heal right? Updated on 8 Aug 2014: Without any bandages ;) Updated on 9 Aug 2014: Help ladies..... Any tips on removing the tape as painless as possible???? Have to remove it Monday for my post op appt... Thanks!! Updated on 9 Aug 2014: Updated on 9 Aug 2014: First bowl movement a success! :) No pain.... Thank you Colace!! Updated on 9 Aug 2014: Standing up straight still..... Thank goodness! Updated on 10 Aug 2014: Got some bruising going on today :) Updated on 11 Aug 2014: Not very pretty after removing the tape huh? :( It bled pretty bad, and I had to wash it with anti bacterial soap. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a pleasure either. Scared tomorrow is too soon to remove my stitches?? Especially with it still bleeding so much once I removed the tape. The center below my belly button is the worse cause I had pretty bad stretch marks in that are. Hoping my stretch marks will lay flat in my incision line cause they currently are not. Trying to be hopeful that it will look better than this! First time since surgery I'm wondering if I made the right decision going through with the surgery.... Everyone else's post op pictures look so different than mine.... Boohoo I guess. Lol Updated on 13 Aug 2014: Went well... Had stitches removed and my belly button was cleaned :) Was very upset to hear two different people stitched me up cause one side is straight and pretty..... And well the other is not obviously. :( But I am healing up great!!! Have not taken pain meds in a few days and feel great! Appt was at 9am, didn't return home till about 9pm. Went and did a little shopping, lunch/dinner, and a movie .. What a great day.. Bad news....... Ugh. Still have both my drains. Lol. Hate these things! :) Updated on 13 Aug 2014: Just got out of shower, crazy swollen but no pain. Updated on 13 Aug 2014: Updated on 15 Aug 2014: Has been awful. Lol. Look like I have a little baby bump.. All my swelling is above my belly button. But no pain. Been laughing so hard my little muscles have been aching, but I laugh at everything so I'm surprised I've held off this long. When I see something funny I've been trying to redirect myself immediately. Lol. It's a little difficult. :) Hope everyone has a good Friday!! Updated on 18 Aug 2014: Headed to my appt.... Praying he will take these drains out! Lol. Really don't have anything to update, just wanted to share updated photos. Hope everyone has a good Monday! Updated on 18 Aug 2014: Still have both drains.... BS. One of the two is collecting less than the required amount to have it removed avd my Dr is making me wait. So easy to say I left my appt today ticked. I hate these things. Lol. I still have a stitch that is in my incision area that wasn't removed when all the rest were cause the end wasn't visible... Well it wasn't removed today either! So that upset me also. I will not be cut open again later to remove it. Just feel like everyone was so short today.... My appt didn't last ten minutes! Don't return for three weeks, other than to have drains removed when output is less than 30cc on both sides. Grrrr. Updated on 19 Aug 2014: Been a good day, relaxed most of the day.... Ready to go back to work... Sitting at home is not my thing. Lol. Still have both drains, and of course one is ready to be pulled but I've still got it. Here's a couple pics from today :) Updated on 19 Aug 2014: Everything is starting to look a little red to me?? Updated on 23 Aug 2014: Drains were removed yesterday... One side was clotted over, but it was my side that was draining the most so I'm going it will be okay. Wasn't supposed to return for three weeks, but Dr is concerned that it will need to be aspirated since it was clogged so badly. I sure hope not. That would feel awful. :( Also as you can see directly below my belly button/above my vagina my incision doesn't look to good. She said it is going to be a wound possibly..... And of course my dumb self googled tummy tuck incision wounds and OMG that had better not be what's happening to me!!! Plus side.... I feel 1000x better without those dumb drains! Just wished this one area would heal up cause I will be returning to work on the first. FYI.... My drain holes have neosporin on them. Updated on 24 Aug 2014: Pics from today after shower :) Updated on 25 Aug 2014: Wore blue jeans yesterday.... They were not tight at all, they were pretty loose... Only wore them maybe four hours and when I took them off I had awful lines and bulges. Obviously had my binder on underneath them. Still this morning almost twelve hours later these awful bulges ate still there!!! :( Appt this afternoon to be sure I'm not collecting fluid after drains were removed Friday. Wish me luck.... I do not believe it needs to be aspirated, it doesn't look like I'm collecting fluid in my opinion.... But another good thing.... Was 219 the day of surgery, now currently at 209! Updated on 25 Aug 2014: Had appt to be sure I wasn't retaining fluid after having drains pulledpulled out Friday. He felt around and said my tummy was too firm to tell so he stuxk needle in just in case there was some there. Well there was. Not much at all, only half of one syringe filled up. He said that was very good. Said typically he can get three or four syringes full from patients. So that made me happy :) Updated on 26 Aug 2014: Updated picture with panties on. Sorry about the bleep image.... I thought it was funny! Updated on 30 Aug 2014: Updated on 1 Sep 2014: Just a couple updated pics :) Updated on 3 Sep 2014: Picture standing up from just now after taking off my garment.... Other pic was last night before I feel asleep :) Updated on 3 Sep 2014: Is this what is consider a Ken doll?? It is a little poochy.... Lol. (Sorry about the color the flash made it look funny!) Updated on 4 Sep 2014: Little update on pics. Updated on 5 Sep 2014: Look pregnant today! Lol. But did buy some bio-oil and put on my incision and belly button today :) Updated on 7 Sep 2014: For whatever reason it looks as though I have been swollen in my upper abdomen for the last two days. Makes me look pregnant, not digging that look at all. I have on a compression tank as well as a full abdomen compression corset over that and still swollen like crazy! My luck. Updated on 10 Sep 2014: Just a couple updated pics :) Loving that my panties no longer till down on the sides!!! Updated on 19 Sep 2014: Dr told me yesterday to quit wearing my binder.... This was the result after working twelve hours last night wearing my duty belt. :( Updated on 2 Oct 2014: Having this bump type swelling?? Sorry pic is kinda dark. Updated on 11 Nov 2014: My swelling is constant..... This is how I look pretty much 24/7 now. What do you guys suggest?? I'm missing my flat stomach!! Updated on 11 Nov 2014: September 10 & today. Huge difference ): Updated on 5 Nov 2015: Updated on 25 May 2017: Still couldn't be happier with my results! I feel as if I need to get into some sort of workouts to keep my stomach flat, but I still have issues with swelling after I eat. Which sucks and makes me look pregnant as can be, but it is what it is. lol. I'll update with photos soon! I'm considering covering my belly button scar with a circular tattoo........ Any one done this?? Updated on 25 May 2017: Stil loving it! I still deal with swelling here and there, but it's OK. Lol
